blwnsmoke Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 https://www.yahoo.com/news/tesla-shuts-down-model-3-production-five-days-140100412.html As press reports begin to mount up about quality issues with its critical Model 3, Bloomberg reported that Tesla will shut down the Model 3 production line to improve automation on the Model 3 assembly line at its factory in Fremont, California. The company says the shutdown has been long-planned and that it will not affect the ramp-up in Model 3 production to the company's long-promised 5,000 cars a week. The shutdown is expected to last until Saturday. In separate news, Jalopnik reported that workers on the Model 3 assembly line will move to three shifts per day starting in June to meet and ramp up production to 6,000 cars a week, presumably in an effort to make up for lost time. That would move Model 3 production up to round-the-clock levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldwizard Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 This from a letter that Elon Mucsk sent to all Tesla employees the other day. Precision Most of the design tolerances of the Model 3 are already better than any other car in the world. Soon, they will all be better. This is not enough. We will keep going until the Model 3 build precision is a factor of ten better than any other car in the world. I am not kidding.Our car needs to be designed and built with such accuracy and precision that, if an owner measures dimensions, panel gaps and flushness, and their measurements don’t match the Model 3 specs, it just means that their measuring tape is wrong. Some parts suppliers will be unwilling or unable to achieve this level of precision. I understand that this will be considered an unreasonable request by some. That’s ok, there are lots of other car companies with much lower standards. They just can’t work with Tesla. I think he is crazy and will never be able to achieve such "precision" at a production rate of 6,000/week (that is 60/hour, running 2 shifts, 10 hours/day).
