Check out this Easter egg on the Tesla Model 3

None of us have ever worked for Tesla or Musk, but stories about Tesla employee’s lack of work/life balance are easy to find. That’s probably to be expected, especially when new models are rolling off the assembly line. After all, the automaker has had a string of highly publicized problems with getting cars to buyers on schedule. It’s all hands on deck during crunch time.
