This year, Tesla has been grappling with "logistics hell." It has had to deliver cars to customers in more points around the world than ever before. The company's executives have said the company should be profitable in the second half of 2019.
it was supposed to be a temporary measure. The idea was to run the tent mostly on manual labor while Tesla perfected its automated factory lines indoors in what's called "the brick." The tent has now been operating for more than a year. His wife, Maggie Aranda, worked as a Model 3 production associate in another part of GA4. She says she was dismissed on June 11 for using her phone during a shift to book health appointments after an injury. Both the Arandas previously worked onSix other current and former employees corroborated their accounts of work in GA4, but asked to remain un-named.
Rather than waiting for replenishment teams to deliver boxes of new plastic parts to their stations in GA4, supervisors told workers to use vinyl electrical tape to make quick fixes, they say. Carlos Aranda says he personally visited WalMart multiple times to buy the tape and other items for production associates.
Factory tape is high-quality and looks as if it's shrink-wrapped on a part, always in the same place. Much of it is wound carefully around bundles of cables and wires in a perfect spiral. The tape that workers would apply in a Model 3 typically has hastily cut or torn ends and varies in placement. The technician also emphasized that the Tesla Model 3 is an ideal electric vehicle — as long as it's built exactly to spec.Workers say they took other short cuts to hit aggressive new production targets, too.
For example, this photo shows the power supply for a distribution block in the front right vehicle controller in a Model 3. A nut is missing that should be there to secure electrical connections. Tesla said the company "has a robust quality assurance team that reviews each vehicle at the end of the GA4 assembly line to ensure every car was built correctly and is perfect before it leaves our factory to go to customers."
Since then, if workers see an issue with the urethane seals around a Model 3 glass roof, for example, they can request a water test. But many in GA4 are hesitant to make that request because of time pressure and a lack of experience or training that they need to identify flaws, a current associate said.
Mine has been flawless since I picked it up last November.

Seriously cnbc, can you stop lying for one second. Stop with the bs news about Tesla. We get it, your sponsors are losing market share. Disgusting
Btw I have seen parts patched with electrical tapes in Ford, chevrolet & even Honda I have driven in the past. Call them out too.
