I'm pretty sure the cost is still a large part of the plant budget, as well as the floorplan.

Also, Tesla isn't all automakers.

And Tesla is famous for trying things evrybody else knows are either stupid or just don't work economically when it comes to manufacturing cars. They sell it pretty well so, usually as some groundbreaking innovation of sorts, one that miraculiosly justifies the over hyped shares and cars.

Not that Teslas are bad cars, far from it, but tue delta between perception and substance is larger than anything German "Premium" OEMs could have ever dreamed of.
