Someone doesn't like your comment, but when I searched to find context for a quote from the article, I found this expanded paragraph from the Bernstein Research report: "What is the inspiration behind Tesla's automation? Tesla has bought German robots and a German automation company (Grohmann). But the German OEMs – traditionally the most enthusiastic proponents of automation – have actually been rowing back on it in recent years. The best producers – still the Japanese - try to limit automation. It is expensive and is statistically inversely correlated to quality. One tenet of lean production is “stabilise the process, and only then automate”. If you automate first, you get automated errors. We believe Tesla may be learning this to its cost." https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2018/03/28/1522248619000/No-one-needs-to-buy-Tesla--redux/ https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2018/03/28/1522248619000/No-one-...
