I don't know Tesla's shift pattern, and if it's indeed 42 hours, I agree that there's probably not a lot of functional differences between a 40 hour week and a 42 hour week, particularly if the 42 hour week has shifts laid out in a way that makes sense. So I may have been wrong about Tesla itself, but there's plenty of companies of all stripes that go significantly above 40 hours a week, even in contexts where there have been studies demonstrating reduced productivity when working 50+ hours. I'm not necessarily saying Tesla is absolutely wrong here, just that the argument that "well Tesla is doing it, and they know their business, so they must be right" is BS - companies are routinely wrong about how to optimize productivity.

That's not what I said - I said tesla genuinely think it. I never said that they must be right, but also they are probably in a better position to judge than you or me for their business IMO. If their existing remote work situation was all sunshine and rainbows for Tesla then they probably wouldn't be making the move back. They aren't doing this to spite people working from home, they will be doing it because they genuinely think it isn't productive in their use case.
