I think a lot more Tesla owners would be happy if they were a little less productive and instead made sure brake pads weren't missing, windshields were actually glued to the vehicle, there weren't leaks from the sunroof or into the compartments, panels weren't misaligned, and so on and so forth.
Yeah idk what real benefit you get from high density in the factory except increased cost of tooling more difficulty retooling. Also now having to deal with additional access issues and hazards related to elevated platforms.
