In fairness to Tesla, the rest of the automakers have DECADES of experience manufacturing cars (at least one of them has been in business for over a century)
Tesla has only been actually manufacturing cars for 8 years, you have to expect a few issues when starting from scratch, especially when you are trying to come up with innovative techniques and procedures. And it's not just management that counts. His workforce can't have the experience and knowledge that the others have. It's not like there were thousands of high quality, skilled and experienced workers sitting around for Tesla to hire. Where many, if not most, of the workers for the other manufactures have 10-20 years of experience, Tesla probably had to hire the bulk of their workers with little to no experience. This would include many of their supervisors, safety inspectors, etc. > >> 54 violations in 5 years does not constitute not caring about >> employees. > > No; by itself, that may or may not be unusual.
