You’re greatly misstating what happened at Tesla. They threw away book built over 100 years of how to build car factories with model 3, because Elon thought they’re smarter than everybody. He was big talking at that time that manufacturing is easy.

It failed spectacularly and nearly bankrupted them and they had to scramble to implement standard processes in manufacturing. Fremont factory is still clusterfuck as a result. Then when they were building Shanghai, they decided to follow more standard playbooks from a start.

And Elon now is taking how manufacturing is really hard.

The whole Tesla model 3 story is “nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated” moment.
