Tesla is working hard to increase production by building open-air sheds and using tape for repairs

In a recent report by CNBC, Tesla employees said they had to cut corners to meet vehicle production targets, such as using electrical tape to repair cracks on brackets and housings, or missing nuts and bolts to ensure the normal operation of the production line.

In addition to aggressive production targets, employees revealed that the poor production environment is also an important factor. The G4A work area is an assembly line that was temporarily built last year to meet the Model 3 target. The work scene is just a simple "temporary tent" and the assembly process is not automated. Because of the openness of the temporary tent, employees often face high temperatures or cold weather environments, and work efficiency is difficult to guarantee. In January of this year, Tesla's "temporary tent" production line was fined nearly $3,000 for safety hazards, but from the current situation, Tesla has not made any improvements to the working environment.

In the second quarter of this year, Tesla produced a total of 87,048 vehicles and delivered 95,200 vehicles, far exceeding analysts' expectations at the time. In response to recent reports, Tesla said that "there is a dedicated inspection team on each assembly line to follow up and control quality issues, including the GA4 work area."
