Comment on The Future of Tesla Hinges on This Gigantic Tentparent

Comments

That quote is entirely based on mischaracterisation of the new building as a tent, open to the elements. It’s a hangar with a synthetic cloth skin instead of metal or wood cladding.

Nothing in this Bloomberg article reflects reality.

the characteristics of the building are mostly irrelevant and a discerning reader will pick up the tent characterisation as hyperbolic. The main thrust is that the decision to set up an ad hoc manufacturing plant could be seen as either

- chaotic/desperate or

- pragmatic and brilliantly subversive of the status quo.

I'm sure we'll get lots of articles painting both sides. Time will tell which one of the two it is.

It is both chaotic and brilliant. Why disrupt the existing lines when you can just build some new factory space really cheaply?
