Goal achieved? No, he was missed by very little, despite the exhortation emails that Elon sent to his employees.
"Please do your best to achieve the goal. In the last two years, many have told us that we would not be able to deliver 500,000 cars, and 2020 certainly could not be the right year for this goal, but despite everything, we are doing it. " These are the words that Musk addressed to his employees to push them to the maximum.
2020 is now over, the goal has vanished once again, and what remains? There remain the cars that Tesla has assembled in a hurry and delivered around the world in the name of a missed goal, a goal all in all a bit futile.
In recent weeks, many stories have been chasing about the latest Tesla , which seem to have been assembled with very little care. The list of complaints is long: evident misalignments between the body panels, dents, dirty cars, the lack of attention in the assembly phase requested by Elon led to these results.
The photos we bring back come from a boy from Hong Kong, Andrew Chan, who bought a Model 3 MY 2021 after having owned a Model S and a Model X; During the delivery phase, Chan was asked to inspect the car to assess its quality, a request that normally does not arouse suspicion, a sort of practice when a car is delivered to the home. Unfortunately for Chan, in this case the request was a must, given the state in which his Model 3 was delivered: judge for yourself from these images.
The Tesla Service Center in Hong Kong has kindly made it clear to the customer that there was really no way to refuse the delivery, as the car was already registered in his name, and therefore the car will remain in Tesla's hands until February to fix the defects identified, leaving Chan without a car for 2 months longer than necessary, if only the car had been assembled with due care right from the start.
