The question here is: does he want to revolutionize his factories, which makes a lot of sense? Or does he mean in general?
I mean, when I see his production, I see a lot of cars, which are moved around on a robot to get in position to be able to work on them. That takes time. That is not a series production. https://youtu.be/TuC8drQmXjg?t=5m33s https://youtu.be/TuC8drQmXjg?t=5m33s
Versus a real series production: https://youtu.be/dy3R4K5jHYc?t=7m59s https://youtu.be/dy3R4K5jHYc?t=7m59s or here: https://youtu.be/tNQmXw_vX-g?t=3m4s https://youtu.be/tNQmXw_vX-g?t=3m4s
- restalis 10y agoThe "real series production" presented in the last video-clips seems to include a lot of intensive manual labor in those assembly lines. That in itself should let you assume room for improvement. In the first video (@8:25) there is a part involving two mechanical arms and a press, all moving pretty slowly, i.e. with a lot of waiting. Why is that if the only possible occurrences in there are known and controlled? I tend to assume that the machine-only chambers were set up because of hazardous factors (making human involvement risky) than from efficiency reasons. If that is what factories today are, and considering that Musk is time-pressed to swell the number of assembled cars, it's no wonder he has hard time tolerating it.
