How much of this is transferable? Is this institutional manufacturing knowledge a gigantic amount of potential energy for tesla’s competition that will put them in lead for EVs? Or is it a friction keeping a competitive EV from a big car manufacturer eternally around the corner?
Is the rework something that is actually comparable to normal automotive manufacturing lines? Or is it highly specific to EVs? If it’s EV specific it seems reasonable to believe there is no relevant institutional knowledge existing at Tesla’s competitors.
I have no background here .. how would one best decide if this is evidence Tesla is behind on a solved problem it’s competitors know how to solve or ahead on an unsolved problem it’s conpetitors are also struggling with outside of the limelight?
