Elon Musk wanted to create the factory of the future. But some TSLA-workers say the car plant was better when TOYOTA and GM ran it 20 years ago.
. . .
- Interviews with 42 current and former TESLA-employees depicted the company as one that has cared more about production numbers and engineering than quality and safety.
. . .
. . . Many of those who worked for Tesla and NUMMI said that, despite Tesla's ambitions to reinvent auto manufacturing, the Fremont plant ran better under NUMMI in the years before Tesla took over. . . .
Quantity, not quality, reigns supreme
One of the biggest differences between Toyota and Tesla, according to five people who have worked for both companies, is Tesla's focus on quantity over quality. Seven current and former Tesla employees who have not worked for Toyota also said Tesla tends to care more about hitting output goals than making sure vehicles are built without flaws.
"As a quality inspector, I was told to overlook missing welds, missing mounting brackets," said Dennis Cruz, who has held positions at Tesla in assembly and quality control but has not worked at the company since he injured his shoulder last May. "A car with no liftgate, we would send to paint. They would fix it with a service part later." . . .
. . . "It seems like its always quantity before quality, quantity before safety," the current production lead said. . . .
