Its about an hour long and I found it quite interesting. The way they run manufacturing would be hard to duplicate, the process set up time would be long for traditional manufacturers.
With these AI systems doing live testing of modules as they are put together, and the ability to make fixes over the internet, seems strange they would be so reluctant to do recalls. The recent one they did was for the font size being too small on a safety warning light, it was a manufacturing error.
Henry Fords model T was the first production line, GMs use of the same components across many model years and many models, starting in 1955, to me this is the evolution of those processes. Most manufacturers are making so many changes to their vehicles on a too frequent basis, cost of production keeps going up and parts are so unique, they become rare and frequently back ordered. It seems Musk uses the same parts/modules across the platforms and when parts change, the connections remain the same and you can plug say a new model battery pack into an old model.
