"Tesla is still producing cars completely manually."

This is blatantly false. Back in November they were doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xor2ubHr8Ag

The current bottlenecks are in the battery production at the Gigafactory, they screwed up and had too much faith in a contractor doing the battery pack assembly lines.

Ok, I found this link which is interesting and agrees with the "Batteries bottleneck" version

> “To date, our primary production constraint has been in the battery module assembly line at Gigafactory 1, where cells are packaged into modules.” “We had to rewrite all of the software, from scratch. We managed to write 20 to 30 man-years of software in 4 weeks.”
