This is why Elon Musk is Sleeping on Tesla’s Factory Floor

Tesla has made many headlines recently for not meeting its Model 3 production targets.

One person particularly stressed over this is the company’s very own CEO, Elon Musk, who said he is so stressed and busy that he doesn’t even have time to go home and shower. The electric vehicle maker’s leader said he’s sleeping on the floor of the factory.

On “CBS This Morning,” Musk said on Tuesday to host Gayle King, “I definitely feel stress, yeah. It’s like — we’ve been incredibly difficult and painful the last several months.”

“Painful?” King asked.

“Absolutely, of course. Yeah, I’m sleeping on the factory floor, not because I think that’s a fun place to sleep. You know. Terrible,” he said.

“Sleeping on the factory floor, doing — why are you doing that?” King asked him.

“Because I don’t have time to go home and shower,” Musk said.

Tesla had a 2,500 car target for Model 3 production but announced on April 3rd that it had produced 2,020 Model 3s.

Tesla is aiming to be able to produce 5,000 Model 3 cars a week in three months time.
