Another former exec describes the time when Musk moved his desk to the factory floor to signal the importance of the Model S production crunch, and personally oversee it. However, he was so annoyed by the mandatory honking that factory floor trucks are required to do when approaching a corner, so he swiftly banned that practice…

The anecdotes seem to have no end.

I can see this as being a real story.

I just finished watching this really very interesting interview with Elon as he walks around the spacex stuff https://youtu.be/t705r8ICkRw

He got vocally and visibly annoyed with the beeping noises that the machines were making. It was a useless cacophony of beeps and you could just see in his head he was thinking "How the hell do I make this better and quieter"

Well it’s partly incorrect because it was the Model 3 not the Model S. So if they can’t even get the model correct (they were made years apart) how many other things are wrong in the story?

No I’m pretty sure it was the Model S. This was Peter Carlsson who left the company after 5 years to start NorthVolt already in 2015 which is too early to be about Model 3. If the same happened again for the Model 3 then that’s … another anecdote.

Um, Elon was also reported to have slept on the the factory floor for the Model S.
