Leaked email from Elon Musk reveals the Model Y is experiencing production 'challenges' while passing the Model 3 as the top priority at Tesla's US car factory
Tesla's Model Y SUV is the top priority at the electric-car maker's Fremont, California, factory, CEO Elon Musk said in an email to employees on June 6. Business Insider viewed a photo of the message.
"It is extremely important for us to ramp up Model Y production and minimize rectification needs," Musk said. "Model Y, especially [general assembly], is the top priority for both production and manufacturing engineering." Tesla is experiencing manufacturing and supply chain difficulties related to the Model Y, Musk said. He did not describe the issues in detail, but characterized them as normal for the launch of a new vehicle. Two Fremont factory employees who focus on Model 3 production told Business Insider that Tesla has at times taken workers from their teams and reassigned them to help with the Model Y.
"We are doing reasonably well with [Model S], [Model X], and [Model 3], but there are production and supply chain ramp challenges with Model Y, as is always the case for new products," Musk said. Musk also made reference to "tough conditions" on the GA4 assembly line — located in a tent-like structure that was first used to increase the production capacity for Tesla's Model 3 sedan — and said they would soon improve, though he did not specify which issues the line is experiencing. In 2019, California's Division of Occupational Safety and HealthTesla for six violations of the state's labor regulations in the structure that houses the GA4 line.
