In another thread here, someone mentioned that in the even of a part shortage or disaster at a component part factory, new tooling can be built and moved to a new location in a matter of I think weeks. I remember being surprised at how quickly they claim it can be done. So if you plan for the worst, dealing with wuhan for the next 2-4 months, it could be worth spinning up that production capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elon says Tesla will if needed, but he seems skeptical of the whole pandemic which is disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
