Meantime, while the rest of the industry has mastered manufacturing execution

I think what they have mastered is production .. manufacturing includes many aspects of the design, and they are clearly behind the learning curve on that, if the Mach-E teardown is anything to go on. So yes, they roll the cars off the production line better than Tesla, but they are os inferior design.
