Forget about engineering - assume all R&amp;amp;D work is done&amp;#x2F;frozen, the supply-chain complexity alone is staggering. 2000+ suppliers, with multiple redundancies. Keeping the assembly line moving without a hiccup is a compounding a chain of all problems - all probabilities of things going wrong at each station&amp;#x2F;module&amp;#x2F;step.&lt;p&gt;Another beast of an industry(which I am intimately familiar with) is semiconductor manufacturing. But, it actually appears to be hard unlike car manufacturing. Making 4 million chips a day, containing 2 billion transistors sounds hard af and it is.&lt;p&gt;Manufacturing is a very interesting field to get into (even as software engineers). Ever heard of this game - Factorio? You get to play that in real life (with some pain and big rewards). If you can master manufacturing, you&amp;#x27;re unbeatable because the entry point is so steep, learning curve is steeper and scaling up is nothing like spinning up Kubernetes clusters and instances (no offense meant).&lt;p&gt;Hey, kudos to all the people that burned midnight oil, persevered through tough times at Tesla, congratulations.
