Maybe QC problems explained?

In an article in Elektrek, EM is quoted as saying he will investigate work conditions and injury rates at Fremont.

Maybe 12hr days and 60hr weeks explains QC problems people report on their newly delivered cars?

Elon Musk investigates state of Tesla Fremont factory following claims of poor working conditions

...QC problems...

Whether there is a union or not, Tesla might need to hire more people and strengthen the Quality Control department to make sure buyers don't have to tell Delivery Specialists that there are Quality Control problems.

60 hr weeks in a US factory is absurd. It just isn't sustainable in the long run. And how much overtime is Tesla paying out? Certainly makes sense at some point to hire more workers rather than stretch thin the current workforce.

...It just isn't sustainable in the long run...

Tesla used to be a small company so everyone in Tesla team had to pitch in and sacrifice for the greater good of customers.

However, as Tesla has now grown to be a big public company, it might be a bit much to still continue to ask the same as if it was still a small private startup company.
