I would think that the real technical debt is inside at their first super-automated GA line.
They now have the second line in the temporary structure which let them test some different methods and can provide some pressure relief while they rework the main GA line.
They have been planning to expand and build new buildings at the Freemont plant for quite a while now [1], so I would expect the 'Tent' line to move to a more permanent location eventually.

Edit: As someone in the reddit comments pointed out, the new Tent/GA4 line is on the location of an already planned new building (#11 in the drawing), so perhaps the line stays in place and a more permanent building is built around it.
