Tesla boss Elon Musk admits car quality flaws, says mass production is "hell" [View all]
Tesla CEO and founder Elon Musk has admitted the production quality, panel fit, and finish of his cars has at times been hit and miss, describing vehicle mass-production as “hell”.
In a rare interview – and the first with automotive industry veteran and vehicle “tear-down” expert Sandy Munro –Musk was surprisingly candid about where Tesla could make improvements and promised the company would do better as it matured and ramped up production to a more stable level.
On the YouTube channel hosted by Sandy Munro – a former manufacturing expert with big name car companies who now runs a business which pulls apart cars to find out how much they cost to manufacture and how they were built – the interview with Musk starts with a nervous comment from Munro about build quality, and the backlash he received from Tesla fanatics.
fter Munro described an example of a Tesla Model 3 having different panel gaps on each side of the car, Musk said candidly: “I thought your criticisms were accurate”.
