You are comparing apples to oranges.And yet they didn’t do the Model 3 refresh in Shanghai and Fremont at the same time.
So, until they actually do what you suggest, I’ll assume they won’t (for any number of reasons I can think of off the top of my head) until they actually do.
In the model3 refresh case, Shanghai was the first. That derisked the ramp. Then Fremont followed. It makes no sense to ramp number 1 and 2 at the same time.
In the gen3 case, GigaTx will be first. Once that is ramped, it is extremely likely Mexico, Shanghai and Germany will follow as quickly as possible and in unison to the extent possible. There is no reason to do them in sequence since they are copy -paste of gigaTx.
That is the quickest path to ramping gen3 globally.
Like I said, we’ve seen this before. Model Y ramp overlapped in Texas and Europe. Easy to do since neither was the first to build the model.
