Tesla never claimed their manufacturing would be that fast in just a few years, that was a long term goal. Its totally disingenuous to claim this is what they believed they could do for the Model 3. Its still the long term vision.

The argument that everybody around Elon is a Yes men is also just nonsense, Tesla tries to do difficult things and sometimes they manage it and sometimes they hit delays. Tesla did actually hit their manufacturing goals eventually. Maybe a half a year later then Elon hoped but it did happen. And if you look at Model 3 in Shanghai, its much better. Model Y in Fremont was better and Model Y in Shanghai is better again. These program hit their goals pretty consistently. Tesla is clearly improving in their ability to execute mass manufacturing.

Nevada equally worked out perfectly. Its literally being cooped by everybody. Your criticism has literally nothing to do with Tesla, but rather with the media. The factory targeted 35GWh capacity in 2019, and it managed that in 2020. Its beyond that now. The building is only supposed to be complete, once its producing 150GWh.

Nevada hit both cell production targets and meet all state contracts in terms of employment numbers.
