So, Elon Musk tried to create a robotic factory, spent a few billion figuring out what everyone else has figured out, that it doesn't work. There's even a video floating around of him saying that he underestimated the value of the human touch.

He spent billions learning what GM learned and told everyone about in the 80s. You can’t build a lights out car plant.

Well, that last sentiment surely didn't last. At least with twitter, he's opting for nobody at all.

This is absolute nonsense. The only thing He admitted is that it was rushed. Not that it was wrong. Also it is outdated already. Tesla's factories are way more productive than other car maker companies. And it is not even close. Every company strives to remove low skilled workers. It is just about calculations on return of interest. Not some absurd "human touch". Everyone on engineering position in the industry will tell you that.

Tesla - the most ironic name ever for an Elon Musk company.
