Well, yeah. Since that’s not what he said and what he did say you’ve taken out of context. So thanks but no thanks for your own personal spin of what he said.

They also poured the concrete & built the whole assembly line using scrap we had in warehouses. And it’s way better than the other GA line that cost hundreds of millions!

So what is being taken out of context again?
“Way better” can mean a ton of different things. It could mean way cheaper (obv true). It could mean constructed way faster (obv true).
BTW, you gotta realize this is a GA line. Everyone is so conditioned to see robots everywhere, but GA lines ares where the humans do most of the work (fitting finicky wiring harnesses, snapping in interior body panels, etc), so the line doesn’t need to be and isn’t high tech.
"way better than the other GA line" does not equal "superior to a traditional factory". It just means that they took what they learned in building, and operating, the prior GA lines and made a better version this time. That could be in a tent, open air, or in a traditional factory.
It makes me wonder if Line 3 starts with special base units, and now is being used to upfit them to P3D spec, hence more need for rapid deployment and less need for all-weather permanence, humidity and climate control.
Automated measuring, painting, and welding are sensitive to temperature and humidity, and even the light level as it applies automated optical sensor edge-detection and painting QC.
I could be wrong, I haven't seen the travelers for Line 3 nor the systems in use. For assy, this would probably be fine.

Cars are fully welded and painted before getting to this line with doors removed for their own assembly. From Twitter video they are towed out on carrier frames.
Not sure we actually need a building. This tent is pretty sweet. Tesla Grohmann line is in place at Giga & spooling up now. They super kicked ass too. Heiliger Strohsack!

As he's expressing doubt he even needs to build an actual building, it sure seems like his take is the "tents" are superior to the regular factory/GA line.
I mean I know it's all just spin to get ahead of the news outlets that would otherwise speculate about the new temp assembly line as a desperate attempt to meet production goals by whatever means necessary, but his tweets are anything but nebulous: he thinks the tents are superior.

Two different items:
Elon thinks the tent is "sweet" and may be able to replace typical buildings.
Elon thinks the new line is "way better" than the other lines.
What is your basis for thinking the opposite of either opinion? It provides faster setup, lower cost, and improved natural lighting.
I highly doubt the 10k. This was never a goal for June or a requirement for suppliers. Back in April he sent email

So this likely means that the sabotage was done at the Gigafactory, not at the Fremont plant.

Just because the plant runs 24/7 doesn't mean there are 3 shifts running. Each segment of the process (stamping, assembly, paint, QC, final assembly, etc) may run at different times per day, but not necessarily multiple shifts per segment.
