Tesla Inc said the number of labor hours required to produce its Model S and Model X cars have reduced significantly, after the latest report of quality problems that could avoid the automaker from hitting its production targets.
The automaker informed Reuters on Wednesday production of 100,000 Model S and Model X vehicles can become a reality in a two-shift cycle with minimal overtime, compared with three shifts and significant overtime earlier.
Tesla was replying to a CNBC report that said the company was churning out a huge ratio of defective parts leading to costly rework and production delays, mentioning several current and former workers.
