This. I think it's just another example of how mismanaged Tesla is. That type of management style is not sustainable and is eventually going to lead to poor morale and burnout (if it hasn't already). I kind of wish they would just go bankrupt already so that someone like BMW/Daimler/Toyota/Apple? can pick up the pieces and run it properly. They're good at innovation, design and marketing, but really need help with the boring parts of running a big company (logistics/production/IT/management/customer service). Hard to see them getting better at those things as long as Elon is in charge.

This video provides a funny (but sad) example of how bad they are at some of those things (specifically about a used Tesla purchase gone awry but gets at some of the systemic issues they have):
