'High-class problem': demand exceeds production

From:
Elon Musk
Date:
December 11, 2020 (Date of Electrek's report; sent that week)
To:
All Tesla employees
We are fortunate to have a high-class problem of demand being quite a bit higher than production this quarter. To ensure that we have the best possible outcome and earn the trust of the customers and investors who have placed their faith and hard-earned money with us, we need to increase production for the remainder of this quarter as much as possible. I would only send this note if it really mattered. Super Appreciated,, Elon Btw, please send me a note directly if you see ways to improve output, but feel that your voice is not being heard.
