I have been to 3 Toyota factories and 1 Citroen. The process shown in the video is very similar.

Tesla factory looks a bit slow, I guess because it’s new.

Many steps are missing, like assembling doors/ hood before oaint shop. Interiors assembly also missing. I assume these are the more proprietary things from Tesla. What they showed are the common processes/tools across many manufacturers.

They had too many cars parked inside the factory, normally that means defects that need to be fixed.

Herbert Deiss, the CEO of Volkswagen, recently lamented that a Model 3 is made by Tesla start to finish in approximately ten hours when an equivalent VW EV is made in a touch over thirty hours.

The biggest producing automotive factory in the world is the famed VW Wolfsburg factory.

I know teslas are valued here, however, they're very inconsistent in quality. Though I'd never buy a VW I do respect that their craftsmanship surpasses that 30hr mark. Tesla is very much a 10hr car. When I see body panels that don't line up in more than one place in more than one vehicle its not me being picky. Its a rushed product with inadequate standard for quality control.

Nobody really cares about this. Esp if Tesla build quality is poor and VW is great I'd think the fast build is doing them no favors.

This seems a meaningless comparison unless we know what is actually done in these factories vs what is sourced. Diess is known for pushing his staff by doing all sorts of benchmarks

I'm surprised that's a concern. I would have thought latency is almost irrelevant, unless it affects throughput. I suppose longer production time requires more floor space?

I think the Tesla machinery may be running slower during filming to allow for some of the trick drone shots, else they catch it on something and damage a $200k press

I think you need to multiply the price of the press by 10, but repairs and downtime might on ticket
