I don’t know how true it is but I read somewhere musk had assembly line robots removed and replaced with human labor.

Quite possible. Things that are designed for robotic assembly turn out to be fabulous for human assembly.

Remember the old IBM Pro-printer? It was assembled on a fully flexible robotic line. When demand exceeded the line capacity, they installed a temporary human assembly line. The human line output was 4 times greater than they had expected. Humans are amazing.

You’re correct. Reason being, the car is a kludge. Parts and sub-assemblies have to be hand fitted and jiggered till they fit. Even with this Fit/Form/Finish sucks and would be laughable if that poor quality of product should be put out be any of the majors.
