I guess it’s all a matter of taste. Looking at the current state of affairs I would love to be part of the work. A need to improve production greatly while cutting costs (for the products) means it’s a time where there is a lot of investment in the process. New machines, new flows and lots of things that need to be made. I have a background in the semiconductor industry and the times like these, the make or break periods where fantastic. Work turned into a sport and you and everyone else came together like an underdog team that had a shot at the World Cup! Sure working 70 hours a week and sometimes a critical 24 hour day isn’t healthy. But there was never any management pressure to do this, that was us taking it upon ourselves because try as they may, management couldn’t drag us away from the line.

Looking forwards Tesla will settle into a much gentler pace, and it will become the same old incremental production cycle plant mentality thats shared by so many. But right now it must be amazing to be on the floor, even if it is exhausting.
