Tesla CEO Elon Musk offers rare look inside Model 3 factory

The pioneering electric car company Tesla has suffered a series of very public challenges since the beginning of this year. Its high-profile CEO Elon Musk called this a period of "production hell." Most of the troubles revolve around the company's Model 3 sedan, its first mid-priced, mass-produced electric car. Musk takes "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King on a tour of his Silicon Valley factory. It is the first time network cameras were allowed inside the production line.

Delivered by Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King, "CBS This Morning" offers a thoughtful, substantive and insightful source of news and information to a daily audience of 3 million viewers. The Emmy Award-winning broadcast presents a mix of daily news, coverage of developing stories of national and global significance, and interviews with leading figures in politics, business and entertainment.

[korymann]

5:27 *”It’s April fools, people should like lighten up ok.”* 😂😂😂

[dtwddox]

This is the Difference being a leader vs a boss. Elon is very unique guy

[harrywissink]

Billionaire sleeps in the factory to solve the smallest of problems in order to be that much more efficient. Talk about work ethic. Amazing.

Someone send this guy a mattress for his conference room

[siennastrickland]

Love how this man openly takes accountability for his failures while remaining hopeful for future successes. Tesla will be revolutionary

[darktrooperdalek]

“People should just lighten up, okay?” XD literally me every day.

[r.annrousseau]

Just growing pains. Don't give up Elon. You're making the history books.

[kevin]

how many CEO's do you see today that wear hard hats/industrial gear and get their hands dirty right in the factory besides co-workers. tell me, please

[Tippyyyy]

Elon is bound and determined to make Tesla a success.
Don't ever bet against him.
Look how far he has taken SpaceX.
He is a very involved CEO!

[retroraptor]

Anyone else thinking how adorable Elon would look sleeping on the floor all cuddled up in a wittle blanket 😂

[maddykim]

people forget too easily. elons gonna brush off the doubt with his middle finger, then proceed to changing the world.

[JamesScottGuitar]

Elon occupies rare space based on the fact that he will admit mistakes, and then follow it up with a commitment to correcting those mistakes.

Think about that for a minute.

He admitted to trying to add too many features all at once...and then he corrected Course, knowing that those features will happen at some point but not now.

He’s so committed to correcting those mistakes that he is willing to do whatever is necessary to make those corrections happen.

Can anyone name another CEO who openly admits to any of this?

This guy knows every moving part in any of his Manufacturing Facilities....

Can you name another CEO that can do that?

Elon is so freaking committed to the success of his Companies that he will not fail...he’s not in it for the Wealth.

Elon is playing one game...and it’s a LONG GAME.

Elon is in the game of changing the World.

I don't really want a model 3, but I'm thinking about getting one to support Elon.

[rexusranger]

Exactly what he said. "We put too much technology into the Model 3 all at once." This is why to this day, no car company can outperform and/or outpriced Tesla. This dude is nuts. I'd like to work for him one day as an engineer. I share the same mentality. When I start something, I want to see to it that it is done before I can rest. As long as the company has a set goal and organized. lol!

[prabhat]

Elon and his employes can take such pain because he believes in the vision of the company.

[billMcLatentspace]

Such a boss. Whole world paying attention, so many vocal haters, and dude's just calmly getting on with the job of upgrading the world.

[Aaron]

This is journalism. Bringing the critics and the person together via an honest and educational piece. It feels like the news pre 2012

[pashapasovski]

Just the fact he used Tesla and not Edison, makes him real, in my eyes!
