Legion, I worked at several greenfield plants as part of the project and then later start up teams. One of them very similar to what was going on at Tesla.
It was 1985 and it was a 300 million dollar plant with all new technology. The goal was "A perfect start up" Nearly a year behind schedule in the end. Some process machines ended up getting the deep six and old technology brought in. It was hell. I remember one conference call when the prez of manufacturing asked us if we were incompetent or just didn't give a damn. Threatened to can us all. Several in the room were relieved of duty that week.
Needless to say the atmosphere in the facility was in the dumpster
