Flying in the face of any scientific and engineering knowledge, Elon Musk says his ad-hoc assembly line is state-of-the-art. In fact, it's an embarrassment. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, aerial footage of Tesla's "alien dreadnaught".
This video was taken on June 26. Here is the article-timestamp cited at the beginning of the video:

This is a manual line. Cars will be hand-built on the conveyor, which you can see in the right side of the tent. At the beginning of the line, a FORKLIFT (!) loads the frame onto the conveyor. This is the stone age of auto manufacturing. 
Where do the forklifted frames come from? Each needs to travel from the paint facility area. That's 1300+ meters crowded w/ garbage, defective car parts, discarded tooling, crates. The chaos is why forklifts at Tesla have caused worker injuries that have even led to amputation.
On the left side of the factory: sub-assembly, kitting, and material storage. And lots and lots of cardboard boxes. Let's be clear. This assembly line is still being configured, cannot produce anything but test vehicles, and is limited to making only a token number of vehicles.
Yet, <24 hrs after the drone video was taken, Elon was caught claiming his tent is "working & has slightly higher quality than the more traditional assembly line". Either Elon is lying (likely), or what goes on inside the rest of the factory is worse than we realize (likely).
When will Elon Musk stop lying to the public about what his company can achieve? Or, when will the public, regulatory bodies, and elected officials begin to hold him accountable?
And respect to @phoennix10 for continuing to school me and Twitter on auto manufacturing processes.
