"The assembly line inside will start out as fully manual and gradually convert to automation in steps, according to Brian Johnson, an analyst at Barclays Plc who met with Tesla’s investor relations department last week."Like I said, I have no problems with it being built in that "tent". However, the amount of automation vs hand built is concerning. Both are needed obviously, but if this new line differs significantly from the one they've been adjusting for years, then that could be a big problem. The whole point is to reproduce making the car in the exact same way. When you introduce changes in different assembly lines, quality is going to be off.
I definitely don't want a handbuilt car. Aston's are beautiful, but have serious quality issues you don't see in a Toyota.
The Future of Tesla Hinges on This Gigantic Tent
This was likely the same ramping up process with the other lines. Except this line supposedly will be dedicated to P. So, we should wait for first Ps delivered and owners comment on the initial quality.
