In the email, Musk thanked Tesla employees for their work in 2022, encouraged them to push hard for a strong fourth-quarter finish, and asked them to “volunteer to help deliver” cars to customers before midnight on Dec. 31, if at all possible.

During the last days of most quarters, Tesla enlists employees from all over the company to bring new cars to customers in order to hit or exceed stated delivery goals, work that in normal times is limited to people on the sales and delivery teams. The company has been aiming for 50% year-over-year growth in vehicle deliveries but has cautioned investors it may not meet that target every year.


That's not nearly as bad as having to clean toilets, but he's still asking Tesla employees to give up some of their holiday time to help him out when he hasn't hired enough employees.

Just as he started at Twitter by firing most of the staff and asking the others to work long hours and maybe sleep in offices.

He hasn't quite reached the point where he demands that employees aka wage slaves consent to being chained up in dungeons, living in their own filth, but you have the impression he'd like that employment model.
