The point is that that skilled engineer can manage and maintain robots across many factories. That's an aspect of Musk's "the machine that builds the machine" goal. It does have a high up front cost, but the long term advantage is real. Namely the ability to print factories, roughly speaking. Tesla is aiming for production volumes that are much higher than any current automaker.
