The Tesla saga continued on Monday afternoon, and it now appears that an increasingly frazzled Elon Musk will be putting his Mars colonization plans on hold.Just before the close, the Information's Amir Efrati reported that amid the ongoing Model 3 production woes, Tesla is shuffling its leadership after once again missing Model 3 production targets, which Jalopnik earlier reported would be just above 2,000, well below both the original and revised production estimates of 5,000 and 2,500 respectively.As a result, Tesla CEO Elon Musk - perhaps bored of tweeting April fool's jokes or dressing up as Ironman - has taken charge of production of the company's flagship electric sedan, pushing aside former Apple executive Doug Field. Field, Tesla's Senior Vice President of Engineering, will instead focus on "vehicle engineering" in what appears to be a demotion, while Musk focuses on Model 3 production."Model 3 production is the highest priority at Tesla, so Elon is focusing his time there while Doug focuses on vehicle engineering," a Tesla spokesperson told the Information.And this is where it turned bizarre, because moments after the report, Musk tweeted at Efrati "Can’t believe you’re even writing about this. My job as CEO is to focus on what’s most critical, which is currently Model 3 production."
I hope Musk doesn't get too comfortable sleeping at the factory. In a month or two he will have to move out.....and into a refrigerator box under a bridge.
Saint Musk Oil said he is cranking 3000 type 3's out a day. Burning the midnight gigawatts.
