Is it just failure rates, though? He's said in the past a lot of it that they have 30,000 parts and a massive number of suppliers to rely on. For instance, with the model X doors, there were substantial delays because their contractor said it could be done hydraulically, but it wasn't completed, so then Tesla did it itself with electromechanical systems. To me, that massive delay wouldn't be captured by your production line simulation.
