Yea, but sadly he’s going about “beating” the standard using the mantra robots are better than humans, which is just not true. When you have a process that’s not a bottleneck, with enough throughput that’s cheaper to do manual, the only thing you do by using robots is throw away money, increase your potential for breakdowns and remove flexibility. Musk is acting exactly like the classical Lean “dufus” who forgets to analyze his process and considers robots a goal in the self instead of minimizing waste and optimizing throughput.

Tesla isn’t pushing the standards, they’re not even playing in the same league as Toyota and other established manufacturers. But they sure are good at hyping their flawed methodology.
