My understanding is that the conditions inside of Tesla's manufacturing are brutal. I have friends who work on the production side and they effectively tell me corporate culture is driven by fear. I am definitely cheering Tesla on for global warming reasons but I worry that Musk is running a Faustian bargain that may bite him in the backside long term.
Well, at least until now there actually was something to fear considering the threat of default on Teslas upcoming loan fulfillment. Hopefully with long term profitability in the horizon the working conditions will ease.
These numbers though are encouraging.
