Is this really the "easy" problem? I've often wondered to what degree maneuverability or parts availability influences car maker's designs. If the design fundamentally requires parts that are single-source or difficulty to manufacture, as Tesla's design must be, then it's a difficult problem.

Sounds like they are dicks to the blue collar guys, and are more worried about Union busting than making cars.

Tesla is at most spending 1% of their effort on union busting and 99% on building cars.
You think they spend over half of their time on union busting?

Yes, relatively speaking. The difficulty of this sort of stuff ultimately can hit the margin, so you usually are fine and have ample time if you have a relatively high margin (and no competitor in line of sight). For operationally tight businesses, this could prove to be disastrous.
