Oh, I know BMW and others claim to be moving towards EVs, but the press release vs actual deployment is much worse even than Tesla.
Tesla's manufacturing numbers until now were almost all high-end luxury vehicles, so of course they wouldn't equal conventional manufacturers on automation and mass production. Additionally, of course Tesla's worker numbers look worse than a non-vertically-integrated company that just buys parts (of course, those parts also require a whole bunch of workers that aren't counted).
Sure, you can think they only can make 800 cars per week, but customers are getting their cars now at a faster rate. I'm merely saying what will most likely happen, not what's PROVEN BEYOND ALL DOUBT.
