Sounds like the S and X lines are shut down and those employees will not get paid (have to take vacation or unpaid time off) unless they volunteer for the Model 3 line.

My guess is that this email was intentionally leaked to create buzz.

“Tesla will suspend Model S and Model X production Thursday and Friday because it’s ahead of target on building those this quarter,”

They are shutting down the line for 2 days to focus on the Model 3 because they are so far behind. They can use some of the people on the Model 3 but 9 women can’t make a baby in a month. Some people will be able to “volunteer” to work and they’ll get paid.
