I had the chance to visit Giga Berlin. Everywhere were people working in midst of a construction site. Nevertheless every 50 seconds a new Model Y left the factory. It was a fantastic experience.

I'd love to visit Giga Berlin. My last manufacturing tour was of the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart in the 70s. :)

A cousin of a friend of mine works there. He has absolutely NOTHING bad to say about the Berlin factory - quite the opposite actually, as he raves about Tesla.

Well I visited giga Berlin last year on a tour and I my impression was of a very efficiently run factory. What really stood out to me was the lack of people on the factory floor. Everything is highly automated and the only people I could see what managing the systems, and people involved with the logistics of moving parts around the factory. It was a very impressive experience. It was also an exceptionally clean factory and I have to say the giga presses were very impressive too. So I agree with you, these reports are absolute nonsense. Somebody has good imagination.

[@user-ln9bk7mo3l]

A natural ancillary benefit of those working in AGILE or SCRUM production teams (both used in Tesla and SpaceX locations) regularly give reports of high job satisfaction. That, plus the ability to buy stock at reduced prices (so you OWN some of what you do everyday) seem like Tesla has found balance with the age-old LABOR v. MANAGEMENT struggles (that UAW seem to still vilify).

[@garyrooksby]

Watch some vids by Joe Justice who worked at Tesla on lean manufacturing. He said they'd gone through AGILE and "out the other side" They don't use SCRUMs any more but work with mobAI (12-person teams "mobs" supported by Tesla's "Tesla One" AI) on 12 hour shifts (3 days x 12 hour shifts then 4 days off) each mob working to enhance one car system or component to reduce weight by 1g, manufacturing cost by 1 cent, manufacturing time by 1 second or energy draw by 1mW within that 12 hour shift. Normal AGILE is like using flint to make a fire versus a laser beam. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIrPdJ1-hspjY7csi=Sev0oRGDohldbKse

Should have built this factory in the UK where people would be grateful for the work, not resentful. Just weird. Muxk should be ruthless, if there are any more major disputes, shut the factory down and reopen in the UK. It will hurt short-term but you don't want the shite long term.

I'm German and grew up close to this factory, I know the people there. The management is done American style which is opposite to how people act there. In the US you shut up and do your job and 350 million of American people are happy with that. The German style is to complain, to find fault, do lecture, to try to change things around and to act like you know it all even if you don't. Interns are supposed to get a chance to see if they would like working there. So Interns of all people are those who don't have a clue or they would need to be interns.

[@kubapuchar7069]

You should know, that Tesla built Gigafactory in Germany, because they got huge subsidies from German government. But Gigafactory is located near Berlin, because Tesla wanted to hire workers from (former) East Germany and Poland, who are significantly cheaper. There are number of stories of people from Poland working in Gigafactory saying, that work conditions are OK, but travelling to work there from Poland makes the whole business barely worthwhile.

[@robertwoodhouse-bm7kt]

Every country will give Tesla subsidies to build a gigafactory. Especially if in a poor part of the country that has high unemployment. The union IG Metall has set up an office just down the road from the factory. They constantly complain about low safety standards and employee health issues. This is all denied by the local government who regularly carry out inspections at the factory both planned and unplanned. They note that the factory has better statistics than the industry average. The union says it´s too automated, companies like VW can´t compete (IG Metall has many union members at VW) Tesla should employ more workers. At one stage the union claimed 40% of the employees were off sick. The union made a big push to get control of the works council in a vote among the employees; they failed to get control. Unions caused problems with Amazon logistics so they set up in Poland paid the Poles a lot less money to deliver goods in Germany. Brandenburg is 90 minutes drive from Poland and pays a much better salary.

[@JoeyBlogs007]

No need to make things up. We know that Tesla are leading edge in manufacturing methodologies and are operating at a profit. It's not simply about the hard slog on the production line. It's about the innovation of manufacturing methods and being smarter about how things are done with less effort. It's about simplifying the production process, cutting waste and managing costs. Tesla excels at this like few other conventional labour intensive auto manufacturers.

[@S2kDude36]

I know two people who work for Tesla in the US, nothing but positive things to say about the company. I see no reason why Tesla would treat people differently in another part of the world.

Sam, the Grünheide govt officials really wanted this Tesla factory, as there were no local jobs. The German car manufacturers are responsible for the negativity and the so called "environmentalists" (not) who "protest. (hint: they are paid). Same with"Big Oil " and existing OEMs here in the US. Tesla factories are high pressure high payoff, you can implement your ideas on the spot and be involved in cutting edge production. Tesla workers get Teslas at a discount and they get stock. Some Fremont, California factory floor workers are millionaires. I am sure this is stressful too. Not perfect for everyone. Grünheide govt officials saw this correctly as the future, and they wanted part of it.

[@chillfluencer]

Shares of Tesla fell as Wells Fargo said the EV maker is likely to see no sales growth in 2024. The bank cut its rating on the stock to underweight and lowered its price target to $125 from $200. Tesla's struggling to sell cars even as it lowers prices in various markets, and that's affecting its profit. Tesla board member says Musk doesn’t mind bankruptcy if a rival builds a better car: ‘That’s his philosophy’.

Cold hard facts. Safety is the only thing. If you are not operating your business safely, no matter how much profit you are making, it's simply not worth the cost of human suffering. It doesn't matter how great your EV is if no one wants it because of what was involved in its building. What do you have. ? I don't care about the price. If it doesn't have a minimum of 500 miles in range in the coldest part of winter and if it takes more than 10 minutes to recharge, that will be a hard "No" from me.

I was a big Musk fan. I love what he has done with Tesla and with SpaceX. However, I always said that I probably wouldn't want to work for Elon. I have no doubts that he is not a good employer. More recently though I have gone off Elon Musk in a big way. Since he announced that he was going to buy Twitter my opinion has started to slip. Then he wasn't just going to buy it but he would let Hitler (sorry I mean Trump) back on the platform. Then he shows his support of Putin and Russia's propaganda. He's like everyone. He is a mixed bag. Some really good and some really bad. He is an extreme though. Most of us have limited impact for either the good or the bad, but Elon is huge and everything about him is huge. the good is huge. We would not be where we are in the transition to electric transport without him. We would not have the cost of launch to space falling as it is without him. The bad is huge too. He now owns twitter (Calling it X is just stupid) and he is using it to promote and spread absolute evil. He may be actively helping Russia in their invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine. F

Anyone/any company criticizing/complaining about Tesla being evil is due to jealousy.

[@trustinwockhardt]

that sounds kinda cultish... and im a model 3 owner. hop off elon's meat

[@10secondsrule]

How old are you?

[@Mrbfgray]

Plenty of self loathing projection involved, maybe some nationalism in Germany. I've asked hundreds why they hate Elon--they don't know, not one good answer ever from that side, but propaganda works, none of us are immune to it.

[@TheForwardThinker]

Valid point, given Tesla is dominating, don't listen to the guy above, he seems to want to discredit you using ageism, very "mature" of him!

[@quokka7555]

Anyone/any company criticising/complaining about the Nazis being evil is due to jealousy… ^thats what your comment sounds like. Criticism is criticism, not jealousy or any other emotion.

[@glencecil293]

I don't think so either

We are all just slaves.

[@johnnybgood7812]

I suspect you know the difference between empirical and anecdotal evidence so a video citing the short experience of a seventeen year old intern just comes across as yet another Tesla/Musk puff piece to me.

[@zes7215]

no such thing as hell or for or etc

Disgruntled... employee

[@mavelous1763]

Let’s address the REAL issue: Why does Elon Musk spread conspiracy theories? This should not be dismissed. I am a supporter of Tesla and EV tech. I’m also concerned about successful people who lie.

[@stefan2796]

Elon is tired and smoking too much mexican herbs.

[@CypressLaneVideo]

i wouldn't take the word of an intern. Too green to really understand the stat of affairs.

[@kenth151]

Too many Tesla's are being built. Today Tesla said 10% employees will be laid off. The German factory has way more capacity than needed.

[@glenw3814]

You've lost the plot.

[@m15htarcudur3]

tesla can't run a german factory the same way they do in China lol

[@stefan2796]

Agree, no Uyghur forced labour in Germany.

[@ajjbs7580]

Like the elephant picture, also the froggy one.

[@LB-im9wn]

JUST LOOK AT HIS FINGERS!!!

[@RWBHere]

The 'Harvey Smith' salute means nothing to many people in Germany.
