Tesla Adds Third Assembly Line In A Tent Outside Its Huge Factory
Jalopnik ^ | 6/17/18 | Bradley Brownell

Posted on 06/17/2018 4:32:01 PM PDT by Moonman62

In order to achieve production goals, Tesla started up a third production line this weekend. The two existing lines must take up quite a lot of space inside the former GM/Toyota facility, as the third line was built not in the factory, but in a temporary tent structure outside. The tent and the assembly line it houses were allegedly built in the span of three weeks.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted out on Saturday afternoon that the makeshift assembly line had just produced the first Model 3 Dual Motor Performance.

I don't see how this can be anything but bad news for the short sellers.

Throwing them together by hand out in the parking lot?

I can’t believe anyone could put together an modern assembly line with precision robotic machines, parts delivery systems, and conveyors, in a matter of weeks.

I can’t see how this can be anything but bad news for future purchasers.

"To everyone who ordered a new Tesla Model 3, there’s every chance it will be built in this temporary structure that was probably designed to house an Oktoberfest beer hall."

A tent... That sure sounds like a temperature, humidity, dust controlled environment that is required for a high quality car build!

Musk will find a way to extract another couple of grand from the rubes that gave him downpayment, so they can brag about the imperfections their cars will inevitably have as "each having been built with their own unique character" </pinky-out-wine-sip>

Elon Musk: ‘I am a socialist.’

...

Was he serious?

Did you see how his Tweet started by criticizing socialism?

How can they build a car that must be machined to less than a millimetre on all its parts in a tent?

This doesn’t seem right to me.

It’s a fine looking car and I hope it does well.

Do not ever tie it to my money or the gov’t and we will get along just fine.

Your worship of Tesla is nothing less than neurotic silliness.

Tesla has lost billion of dollars and just laid off 9% of its workforce. Hype keeps their stock price high because there is no way their financial fundamentals do.

Musk then responded to the latter tweet by declaring:

By the way, I am actually a socialist. Just not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm. True socialism seeks greatest good for all.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 16, 2018

There is no ‘true socialism’ except in the mind of the ignorant. They all expect that they will be the one’s directing policy living in a daca, not a corpse in a mass grave.
