Really? The fact that this article is based on 2015 stats, and the company has improved to be significantly better than the industry average since then is a pretty good defense... Learning from mistakes is one of the key traits of successful people and companies.

In the dozen or so articles I've read on TSLA factory conditions and manufacturing culture, I think to describe it as a "mistake" is a gross mischaracterization. Elon himself has said, to stay alive they have had to push harder than imaginable. He tries to put himself in the center of it -- work the longest hours, face the worst of the conditions. Which is admirable but still a glaring symptom. Elon is the king at the head of the charge. But it's still a bloody charge all the same.
