Then why are they producing cars in a tent in then first place? NUMMI was building 6000 cars a week at its peak,and Teslas are supposed to be simpler and the manufacturing process more advanced.

I don't know what their precise constraints are, but they are already building 2500 S/X per week there, add the 5000 Model 3 and you are already at 7500 cars per week. Tesla also produces more parts in house than other car manufacturers, that might contribute to the space constraints.
