Elon Musk wants to increase the efficiency of his Tesla factory in Texas. To do this, he resorts to controversial methods. His employees would have to sleep on the factory floor, Yahoo Finance reports. Musk wants to bring his new Tesla model to market as quickly as possible to redefine the electric vehicle landscape.
According to the report, the measures are not unusual for Musk. Tesla employees previously had to sleep on the factory floor to meet ambitious production deadlines. Previous reports from Tesla’s California factory revealed cases where employees were forced to work long hours under difficult conditions.
As a result, the Tesla boss was accused of labor law violations and abuses. Research has shown that there are significantly more safety violations at Tesla manufacturing facilities compared to other U.S. auto factories.
The relatively cheap Tesla model codenamed ‘Redwood’ is expected to hit the market in 2025 and will cost around $30,000 before taxes. This is intended to simplify access to sustainable means of transport.
It is an ambitious project and requires “an enormous amount of new, revolutionary production technologies,” Musk reportedly told insiders. The technology aims to set a new benchmark in the automotive industry and promises to “far surpass any other manufacturing technology that exists anywhere in the world,” Musk explains.
The new model is also a response to growing competition from China. Electric car maker BYD recently replaced Musk’s company at the top of the global market – even though BYD has yet to sell a car in the US. BYD is particularly strong in China and is currently expanding in Europe.
