That's odd considering VW's impression of the Berlin factory was that it is the new standard to beat regarding automation and build time.

What's interesting about that is that VW thinks that even if they improve their processes, it should still take VW about 50% longer than Tesla to manufacture their cars.
But then again VW has a lot higher consistency and less QC issues coming off their lines...
Tesla just wants to crack the whip on quarterly deliveries. God help you if you take delivery of a vehicle manufactured at the end of the quarter - you're going to spend a lot of time arguing at a Service Center for them to fix manufacturing defects.
I wonder if there's a correlation between that and "time on the line"...
