Tesla Model 3 Hits Production

There was an article recently where some higher ups talked about the engineering. They described focusing work on the factory itself instead of the product with the idea being that every time you improve or fix the factory, you gain many upsides in the final output.

Can't find the article but I was an interesting read

Electrek has an article quoting it. Elon was describing the idea of designing the "Machine that builds the Machines"[0].

“We realized that the true problem, the true difficulty, and where the greatest potential is – is building the machine that makes the machine. In other words, it’s building the factory. I’m really thinking of the factory like a product.”
