Have you reached your target? How many times have you been late at work last year? What about team work and keeping your fellows covered when they were feeling weak? If you were to work for this Chinese app maker and the answers were all positive you’d probably drive a Tesla Model S as we speak, because this is the yearly bonus the company would offer you.
We heard about the super-popular EV being turned into an actual hotel, wrote about accommodation facilities offering Tesla Model S P85D rides to their customers and even about taxi companies using Elon Musk’s luxury ride in Tokyo. But Tesla Model S cars being gifted as bonuses for the most performant employees of the year? That is p-u-r-e madness.

Yet, it’s the real deal folks and you’d better take notes. WiFi Master Key is a startup backed by Chinese giant game developer and publisher Shanda. It appears the company has decided to prize their best people and surprise them with a little unexpected year-end bonus. Before you guys drop whatever you’re doing, quit your job and send a resume to the company, let us tell you that the luxury EVs won’t be handed to them for good.

Reports are the company is rewarding every member of staff with more than four months with a Tesla Model S. It’s not quite clear if all the employees will receive a car or they will drive it by turn, but according to Tesla Motors China, 12 cars were acquired so far.

Considering that the popular EV is selling for 734,000 yuan ($121,280) in China this basically means that the company has spent about 8.8 million yuan ($1.45 million) just for this bonus.

It sounds quite surprising, but it appears it’s some sort of a trend among China’s booming Internet companies who are constantly looking for new ways to compensate their best employees.
