As far as i understand, BWM is way more agile then Tesla is - they are planning (and executing) to be able to build any car and configuration on any production line - ICE / e-drive / hybrid. This has not been visible in Tesla's planning for the Berlin factory.

Tesla doesn't make ICE or hybrid cars so why would they configure their factory for that?
I think he means more like separate models. Things like being able to easily swap a line from 3 to Y and vice versa.

AFAIK, Tesla does do that at plants that produce both. There have been no announcements of other models for Berlin, but it'd be shocking if it stays only producing Y. There will b similar flexibility when that changes, possibly for new models.
