Professor of Management Tammy Madsen was quoted in an article about Tesla’s recent losses. According to ABC7 News, Tesla has had slower production than anticipated for its promised Model 3 cars. CEO Elon Musk had promised 15 hundred of this model, but only 220 have actually been made leading to losses in their earnings report. Madsen suggests that Tesla is still not familiar with the high volume industry of car making citing their success at producing small volume.

An excerpt from the article:

"They've been successful at producing at small volume but we haven't seen demonstrated success at building at large volume. They don't have that expertise yet," said Madsen.
