Fast Technology reported on September 29 that Tesla’s only automobile manufacturing plant in Europe was reported to have attracted the attention of CEO Elon Musk due to its high absenteeism.
, Reported that employee sick leave rates at the Tesla plant in Grünheide Brandenburg climbed to 17% in August, more than three times the average for the German auto industry last year.
On September 27 local time, Musk said on the X platform that he was investigating the issue.
, it is understood that Tesla has suspended production at the plant several times in recent months, due to protests against factory expansion and supply chain interruptions.
, In addition, Tesla is still coping with slowing demand, with Tesla registrations in Europe falling 16% in the first eight months of this year.
Based on a recording of an internal meeting last week, factory managers have made home visits to employees who called in sick leave.
However, some employees refused door-to-door visits from executives and even threatened to call the police.
Dirk Schulze, regional director of IG Metall, Germany’s largest industrial union, said Tesla employees reported a “very heavy workload” and management put pressure on sick and healthy employees to overwork.
Currently, the annual production capacity of Tesla’s German plant is 500,000 units.
However, due to model demand, Tesla is seeking approval to expand the second phase of the plant to bring the total production capacity to 1 million units.
