#2It will be fascinating to see how much this changes after Tesla put their next-gen vehicle into mass production.
They talked the big talk at Investor Day this year, and Elon said it again this past week that "The revolution in manufacturing that will be represented by that car will blow people's minds". [1]
I'm cautiously optimistic. The more we learn about Cybertruck, the more we learn they're seriously moving the yardstick forward.

#3A single pressed body does not seem a good idea for body repairs.
Insurance rates are already high enough = car payment.

I work with a big supplier for the conveyors and stuff that moves the vehicle bodies through the plant. The talk you mentioned really impacts them. They are thinking a lot about the new functionalities they need to develop in their products in order to fulfill the Tesla requirements. Not only does Tesla want to change the car body structure itself, they also want to reduce the cycle time per manufacturing step significantly. This causes the conveyor suppliers to develop completely new concepts for moving the car bodies through the factory.

Absolutely. From the Munro interview it sounds like Tesla currently have one Model Y coming off the line every 42 seconds, and they're aiming to halve that.
From what was said, the second best in the industry right now is about one vehicle every 60 seconds.
Elon has said many times that just like Starship and Raptor, the product itself is not nearly as revolutionary (or difficult) as the production system to produce it at scale and speed.

#6I'm always surprised by the amount of human labor involved, I tend to think of manufacturing as mostly robots but there are numerous manual steps.

not to mention it wont get approval for driving on many roads around the world (so far) like Australia. due to the danger it poses to whatever it hits.

He said that about the Model 3 as well. Turned out he was wrong, as any automotive manufacturing engineer would have told him.

#10The assembly and inspection stages involve surprisingly more manual labor than I had imagined.
