I think the Tesla poobah is blowing baloney here. But a lot of these honchos have their jobs because they are good talkers. They talk some pie-in-the-sky theory and send people out to make this or that change.
But the production problems are typically obvious to workers at the lower levels.
Workers at lower levels get told “just do your job”, and “you aren’t being paid to think”. Funny huh? That sounds like very much what the authorities were telling people about Covid.
“Come and get injected with this new substance. It is for your own good.”
You’re pretty cynical. Do you have any evidence that Tesla deserves your cynicism here?
