The Bloomberg article is written in a very confusing manner (journalists these days) but I understood it means they are asking people to volunteer to switch from the S and X production lines to the Model 3 production line. Not to volunteer to work without salary. Perhaps I understood the article wrong?
- jandrese 9y agoThat's how I read it. They're shutting down the S and X production lines that are ahead of schedule to move people over to the 3 assembly line to meet the delivery target.
- mohaine 9y agoThe article is pretty clear the he asked employees to volunteer in a leaked internal memo. Usually employees are already on the payroll. The first line is: "Tesla Inc. exhorted its factory workers ..."
- refurb 9y agoSounds like the S and X lines are shut down and those employees will not get paid (have to take vacation or unpaid time off) unless they volunteer for the Model 3 line. My guess is that this email was intentionally leaked to create buzz.
- melling 9y ago“Tesla will suspend Model S and Model X production Thursday and Friday because it’s ahead of target on building those this quarter,” They are shutting down the line for 2 days to focus on the Model 3 because they are so far behind. They can use some of the people on the Model 3 but 9 women can’t make a baby in a month. Some people will be able to “volunteer” to work and they’ll get paid.
- dwighttk 9y agowell, the alternative (apparently) to switching is not working and only getting paid if you have paid vacation.
