Elon said that, long term, others can copy Tesla on everything except mfg, since the complex combination of equipment and technologies is difficult to reverse engineer.

Whilst its difficult to reverse engineer, most of the competition wont want to anyhow.
They have factories full of robots and stamping machines already, few are building entirely new factories and they dont want any piece of 'risky' new techniques.
Which leaves them with more expensive heavier slower to build vehicles ..

While Tesla is looking at it with fresh eyes, modern technology, and first principles thinking, OEMs are on their Nth iteration of a 100+ year old process

Unlikely. Tesla would have to vote on this like the solarcity deal, spacex shareholders would have to vote on this (OK elon owns controlling stake but..). And then there is a price agreement, SpaceX is worth $100bn+ now. So there would have to be quite a cash+shares deal etc.
And theres no reason for it, Elon wouldnt vote for it he doesnt want Spacex listed publicly which this essentially would do.
@22522 Correction to my post, there is plastic everywhere except at the cell contacts. Still looks like it holds things in alignment
As reference, Toyota takes 18hrs to make a a car from start to finish. 10hrs is bonkers, it's not just a little bit faster. Now we see where them operating margins comes from.

Video of Elon on stage at Giga Berlin.
The first bit is music and visuals of the video being played on screen; which I found myself bopping my head to and interestingly enjoyable.
If you want to skip the music and stage presentation; start it at the 14:00 mark to hear Elon speaking, then taking audience questions .

I tend to think of this in the form of, “Can Tesla be a pre-IPO investor in StarLink?”
Elon has no interest in letting SpaceX be publicly traded and let it go through what Tesla went through. Do we really need SpaceXQ? No. We don't. I would rather SpaceX remain privately held so Elon and company can do their work in peace. Tesla was only taken public because at the time Elon had no other choice, he needed the funding and the stock market is the largest capital market.
Elon has plenty of resources now, so there is no reason to take anything public unless he thinks it's auxiliary to the mission. So Starlink can go public because it's not needed specifically to transition the world to sustainable energy or establish humanity as a multi-planetary species. Maybe one day Neuralink and Boring Company could as well. But I don't expect SpaceX to go public until the Mars colony is established, just as Elon has already previously stated.

Elon’s PayPal experience has forever haunted him (He was fired as CEO while on honeymoon in Australia). He’ll never let his controlling interest in SpaceX drop below 51%. Hence it will never possibly go public. However, Starlink may be spun out as a public company in an IPO.

see, you don’t understand the ginormous ‘bimmer’/BMW grills
the vehicles are actually electric 20-40 years from now and the mostly sole purpose is to drive around, gulping air and sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere and through a mysterious process, “pooping” out ?limestone”? or something with the CO2 tied up, or perhaps “char’ that can be buried, or “buckyballs”, 60 carbon atom spheres or sheets of fullerenes, or diamond crystals

Assuming Starlink is valued around $100B in a couple of years when it IPOs , and assuming it decides to sell around 20%; I would personally love it if Tesla bought 10% of Starlink for $10B.
A great way to invest some of the cash that Tesla will be throwing off, and a great way to continue rewarding Tesla shareholders.
