My friends at SolarCity never had to work 70h in a week before Tesla acquired them (nor work weekends installing solar panels on Musk mansion in L.A.)

So it might very well be the result of the same company and processes.

So your friend had better working conditions during the same time period this work was done (before the acquisition)?

[gcbw3]

infinitely better, yes. They had more time out of work, no nights or weekends, and since the acquisition, the layoffs cut the team in 1/3.

Honestly with all the Tesla shorts trolling HN, an unsubstantiated comment like this from a fresh account is very suspicious. Can you post from an account with more comment history?

Nobody is moving markets with a HN comment. Suggesting astroturfing is against the site guidelines anyway.
