I'm assuming GA1 is Model S/X, but why is there no mention of GA2 anywhere?
My best speculation is that the GA2 line is unfinished/abandoned/idle. Maybe it was an early design of the production line, and it didn't work as intended, and then the easiest way forward was to focus on GA3 as well as install a new line in a tent. If so, that at least indicates that the factory should be able to do 10k/wk without the tent, once GA2 is updated to the latest and greatest design. But also suggests that a significant amount of capex spent on Model 3 production equipment was wasted.
Maybe they are in the process of reconfiguring it to be like GA3, or GA4? (Or even better a combination of the best of both of them.) I suspect that even in that case most of the capex isn't wasted, it will just get re-purposed and help eliminate future capex. (Like the capex from the abandoned automated conveyance system that was re-used to make GA4.)
Or Maybe GA2 is related to S and/or X and isn't related to the Model 3 at all?
