Disclosure: I've never worked in or around the automotive industry.
The amount of focus and effort Tesla has put toward the tech in the Model 3 pales in comparison to the amount they have put toward factory automation. Musk has said as much in multiple interviews. He's talked about how it's 10x harder to 'build the machines that build the machines'.
See also their acquisition of Grohmann Engineering.
Having said all that, we will have to wait and see. One thing I do know is that Musk's ventures have a long history of surprising the status quo.
