Musk told Tesla workers that he will be holding 'skip-level' calls with delivery teams every other day to help speed up deliveries.
. The company cannot count a car as sold until a customer has received their vehicle.
Shares of Tesla rose out of the red following Bloomberg reports of Musk's email. The stock is currently trading near $189, up about 0.2% in trading Wednesday.Here's the full text of Musk's email from Wednesday:While our demand is strong, we have a lot of vehicles to catch up to in order to have a successful quarter.
Starting tomorrow, I will be holding skip-level calls with the America, Asia and Europe delivery teams every 2 days to understand what's needed to accelerate our rate of deliveries. We also need to address the total cost of getting a car form our factory to the customer. Last quarter, there were many expedites fees and routing inefficiencies that led to higher than expected delivery costs. This makes it much harder for Tesla ro break even,
Per my earlier email, if we execute well, Q2 will be an all-time record for Tesla vehicle deliveries and an awesome victory!!
