This is the best summary I could come up with:


Elon Musk warned Tesla workers to prepare for a challenging production ramp-up as he previewed plans to build a mass-market vehicle.

It wouldn't be the first time Tesla workers have reportedly had to sleep on manufacturing lines to meet the company's production deadlines.

Musk has said he slept beneath his desk while spending "three years straight" basically living in Tesla's manufacturing facilities.

Musk said that Tesla's next-generation vehicle, which Reuters reported is a mass-market, affordable EV codenamed "Redwood," is set to enter production in the second half of 2025 at the company's Texas Gigafactory — though he admitted that he is often optimistic with timing, and could not yet predict how many of the vehicles Tesla would initially produce.

The billionaire has hinted for years that Tesla plans to release a cheaper EV expected to cost below $30,000.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.
