Parts of Model 3 Were Being Made by Hand

The story came from the WSJ which has a reputation of making things up when it comes to Tesla. A second confirmation source would be nice but it doesnt look like anyone else is touching this.

I agree, but the Tesla spokesperson didn't deny, and instead shot back with:

> For over a decade, the WSJ has relentlessly attacked Tesla with misleading articles that, with few exceptions, push or exceed the boundaries of journalistic integrity. While it is possible that this article could be an exception, that is extremely unlikely.

I want Tesla to succeed, but as far as I see it, the burden of proof is currently on Tesla as they fell incredibly short of their claimed production goals for Q3.

it’s not their first car and with a company that claims to be worth more than most of other car producers the inability to build and run a production line/process looks just ridiculous. What is going on there? Maybe they should outsource to China and get the whole manufacturing running in few weeks?

Tesla has officially replied to this and denied the WSJ article accusing them of being wrong and purposefully misleading along with images of the production line. https://electrek.co/2017/10/08/tesla-model-3-elon-musk-image...

Thanks for the downvotes, god I hate HN karma.

Yes, their legal/bs/accusations department is the only one delivering as planned
