Tesla has one operational factory. After copy pasta like they've already done in Shanghai, they will start closing in on the largest car manufacturers. Not only will they catch up, but each new factory will have increased efficiency and thus profit margin gains.

This is categorically wrong. Tesla has at least two factories (Fremont and Reno). The factory in China is coming online next month. Plus there’s a series of smaller tooling facilities in Europe.

They are only producing vehicles at scale in one factory.

They are experienced in solar cell manufacturing too. And they're more verticalized than the incumbents so they make more things than their competitors on a per-vehicle basis (they make their own seats, for instance).
