Adding other tents are probably easy, the hard part is slashing the cost of manufacturing to be profitable with $35000/car

The tents are very manual and not efficient:

I am pretty sure the few random bits and pieces we see from the production do not deliver an accurate picture how production in the tent runs, especially I have seen at least one picture showing Tesla to set up robots along the tent production line.

They may very well be, but rt.com is perhaps not the best source.

Why? Because it has "Russia" in its name?

Seriously,give it a try. Everything has bias,but RT does a better job covering global stories than most American cable networks.

Attacking the source is the weakest form of argument.

Because it is controlled and funded by the Russian government. There are currently multiple investigations ongoing about the Russian government's undue influence on western media and politics.

As for my "argument", there is none. What's in the article may very well be true, I have no opinion on it.

RT is solid propaganda trash, with some neutral stories to sucker useful idiots into thinking they're reputable, and high production values to make it all gleam. If the story is legit, other agencies will cover it too.

That entire article is a compilation of tweets from an anti-Tesla account. There is not even mention of doing a cursory attempt to ask Tesla for comment, or to further interview the Twitter user. And the article has no byline. That is what makes it poor quality journalism.
