8Q: Manufacturing efficiencies: Tesla versus others.
Answer: Hard to compare.
JB: most of the areas we struggled with, were areas we outsourced.So we've had to take them on and make them better.
Very rapid iteration between design and production is very helpful. Made a design change in battery models, will hit Q1, lighter, better, cheaper. [This is what they do in SpaceX, surprised it took them so long to do at Tesla].
