Seven months to build a plant and get it up and running? That seems very aggressive. I have seen manufacturing facilities moved to another building and set up and running in a month. In those cases you are talking about existing infrastructure and capital. Maybe Elon has an assembly line sitting in a warehouse somewhere?!
Yah that is tight. Maybe a limited number of Cybertruck prototypes or test fleet like they did for the model 3. One thing they don’t need for cybertruck is a paint booth it’s all stainless steel.
Cybertruck has been resized for better sales in GB and Europe. Should be interesting.
