To be clear, Tesla needs to add 9 MORE new lines each year than the number of new lines it added the previous year: ie: 9 in 2021, 18 in 2022, 27 in 2023.
That means Tesla needs to be able to build 1 machine per year that is capable of building 9 bty lines. So in the 2nd year, Tesla has the capacity to build 18 lines with 2 MTBTMs, and in the 3rd year 3 MTBTMs are available to build 27 by lines, get it? Lol, hope this helps...
It's easiest to see it in this table: (2nd column MWh added; 3rd col. is the Cumulative Annual Production Capacity of all lines build to date)

For this to happen, Tesla will need dedicated factories that crank out battery factories (the 'MTBTM's). Think of this industrial and manufacturing goal as a very Hi-bar
Cheers!
BONUS Q: Estimate how long it takes Tesla to eat the Galaxy.
