Bloomberg Latest News
Two executives responsible for production at Tesla have resigned as the company struggles with an onslaught of Model 3 order cancellations. According to a Tesla spokesperson, the resignations are not related to the Model X production issues, but rather the executives needing a break after a long period of work.
The executives in question are Vice Presidents of Production, Greg Reichow and Josh Ensign, who joined Tesla in 2011 and 2014 respectively.
Elon Musk broke with tradition by publicly acknowledging the contribution and achievements of Greg and his team, in contrast to his usual mocking of Tesla employees who leave the company.
Tesla’s spokesperson stated that the two executives will remain in their positions until successors are found. We express our concern for Tesla and hope they can overcome this challenge.
In the meantime, Tesla has released its latest financial report.
Don’t panic if you’ve ordered a Tesla. The company just announced its production plan for the next two years. In order to fulfill the 400,000 pre-orders for Model 3, Tesla plans to produce 500,000 cars per year by 2018, including Model S and Model X. This is two years ahead of schedule.
The most popular comment on this news is, “Tesla is crazy, but I like it.”
Tesla’s Q1 2016 financial report announced this plan, causing a 7% increase in stock price. The report also showed that Model X production increased from 507 in Q4 2015 to 2,659 in Q1 2016, with plenty of room for improvement.
At the same time, a Model X owner posted a photo on a forum with a sad message: falcon wings are not invincible, so use them carefully.
Electric car (icar123) will continue to follow Tesla’s ups and downs.
