FTA: > Even so, Tesla says the Model 3 body line is now 95 percent automated, including the transfer, loading, and welding of parts. Apparently, there's a big difference between the "body line" assembly and the rest of the line, as people in r/teslamotors have pointed out: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/8pim5q/inside_teslas_model_3_factory_tesla_says_the/e0bjy80/ https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/8pim5q/inside_... > When I was visiting the BMW plant in Munich a few years ago, they said the body line was automated 99%. It‘s really impressive, showed me that the real secret is not in the design of your car, but the design of your assembly line. > But keep in mind that this is only the body line. The rest of the assembly process involves quite a bit more humans.
