In that case things are far worse for Tesla than I thought.

How long is the wait for Tesla Powerwall 2?

What gives manufacturing experts pause about Tesla’s tent is that it was pitched to shelter an assembly line cobbled together with scraps lying around the brick-and-mortar plant. It smacks of a Hail Mary move after months of stopping and starting production to make on-the-fly fixes to automated equipment, which Musk himself has said was a mistake.
“It’s preposterous,” Bernstein’s Warburton said.
“I don’t think anyone’s seen anything like this outside of the military trying to service vehicles in a war zone. I pity any customer taking delivery of one of these cars. The quality will be shocking.”

Diesel demand is already plummeting... the thing is at the moment it is going to be replaced primarily by petrol demand and maybe a little mild hybrid. Electric is growing but from a tiny baseline, and petrol is picking up as diesel declines.
Either way it can't be of much benefit to Tesla as both cars they produce each week are already spoken for for the foreseeable future.
I just took delivery of my brand new car yesterday...a petrol VW Golf. Inside and out it had a very fine layer of dust which annoyed me slightly. Then I imagined how dusty one's new car would be if it had been put together in an open sided tent in the desert!

This only goes to 2017, but it interesting.

odysseus2000 wrote:Dunno how practical it is to control dust in tent like structures, but mobile field hospitals must be quite good at dust control and one imagines that if one has even simple furnace filter technology running that one can substantially reduce dust.
Musk later said the tent was better than the factory in Fremont, California, where most of Tesla's general vehicle assembly occurs.
"Not sure we actually need a building," he said. "This tent is pretty sweet."
He added in another tweet: "It's actually way better than the factory building. More comfortable & a great view of the mountains."
