Elon has left Berlin - suggests that he really isn't worried about the production ramp and everything is in control. Off to Houston for some reason - NASA?

Is Tesla saying an assembly of BIW every 45 second or raw material to body every 45 seconds? The Chinese can assemble a BIW in 46 seconds as the current world record. Raw material to BIW is of course on a whole new level.
A model Y body in 45 seconds!
Here's a closeup / cutaway of the 4680 and the bottom passenger floor of the Y.

Elon already commented on this, calls it cycle time:Is Tesla saying an assembly of BIW every 45 second or raw material to body every 45 seconds? The Chinese can assemble a BIW in 46 seconds as the current world record. Raw material to BIW is of course on a whole new level.
Why does this guy talk like this? like a 10 year old.Gali is at the Giga Berlin County Fair so we should see a few more videos popping up in English.
Are we sure that second picture is 2170s and not a LFP pack? (I can't see enough detail to know.)And Silent Ludicrosy’s photo set taken at the Gigafest shows that they are ready to use either bty form factor, as available.
I thought the LFP pack used prismatic geometry, not cylindrical.Are we sure that second picture is 2170s and not a LFP pack? (I can't see enough detail to know.)
For me, it’s behind a paywall, which is how I want itWoke hit piece targeting the opinion of women…sent to me by my wife.
I know we don’t like to post such pieces here but I think it’s important to understand the ways in which Tesla/Elon’s opponents will try to slow the mission. I believe most of them (the journalists that put these pieces together) do not even realize how they are being manipulated.

Is Elon Musk the absolute worst? He’s certainly making a strong case for himself!apple.news
They do if from catl but no one else is making them get for teslaI thought the LFP pack used prismatic geometry, not cylindrical.
&TLDR: Everything is in place, just takes another 1-2 months for bureaucracy to finish up and issue the final permit.Can anyone from Germany comment about the permits? What exactly is needed and what’s the expected date the permits will be granted?
Interesting things in Berlin today. Adaptive LED lights on the Model Y:
Thanks for the summary because I didn’t get past the title.No we don’t. But I personally found it interesting and informative that his wealth, the move to Texas/aka anti-abortion land, and the 137M verdict was woven together in a timely article targeting readers of VF, and how quickly the message reached my wife, who is not a consumer of all things Tesla or other places where the battle has been waged (fin media, tech media etc). It subconsciously and instantaneously shaped her opinion I’m sad to say, and she pushed back against one of my usual tirades on media hit pieces.
Remember that attorney I mentioned a day or two ago in a pretty forgettable post? And I wondered how this person could be so passionately against Tesla while possessing so little relevant information. Well, this person is much more likely to read an article from a source like this and form a very strong - albeit uninformed -opinion. Some of this goes back to the points @Sancho was making about left-leaning journalism. Not all of it is explicitly bought. Rather it is easy to get that segment of the population riled up about certain hot-button issues and I think this is well-understood by the PR firms acting on behalf of fossil/legacy interests.
Who do you think is going to be a large part of propelling Model Y to be the best-selling vehicle?
So am I understanding this right..........that they're putting the 2170 Cells into the structural format now? Meaning Tesla can swap between 2170 and 4680 at will with no downtime in production?
