Well, I mean, Tesla really faced
this fear of-- threat of death,
due to the Model 3
production ramp.
Essentially, the company
was bleeding money like crazy,
and just, if we didn't solve
these problems
in a very short period of time,
uh, we would die.
And it was extremely difficult
to solve them.
How close to death did you come?
ELON MUSK: We were within...
single digit weeks.
MIKE ALLEN: 22 hours a day,
like, how many--?
Absolutely, yes,
like seven days a week.
Sleeping in the factory.
I worked everywhere-- I worked--
I was in the paint shop,
general assembly, body shop.
You ever worry
about yourself imploding?
-Like it's just too much?
-Yeah, absolutely.
No one should put
this many hours into work.
This is not good.
People should not work
this hard. I've not--
They should not do this.
This is very painful.
ALLEN: Painful in what sense?
It hurts my brain and my heart.
