Tesla has one facility, which is definitely state of the art, and has some of the largest automobile manufacturing robots in the world... on the other hand toyota has about 40-70 plants of varying level of technological advancement... its quite a range because some are only operated by toyota not owned... there more recently opened factories such is the one in Mississippi are pretty much universally accepted amongst the most advanced in the world... In fact Tesla&#x27;s current factory is actually an upgraded old ford&#x2F;toyota partnership which was upgraded as part of a tesla&#x2F;toyota partnership...<p>which is all to really say... 
1 plant vs 40-70 plants... 
90K vehicles produced per year to 9,000K vehicle&#x2F;year... 
unproven manufacturing prowess vs universally accepted best manufacturing capability<p>toyota is universally accepted as having the most advanced automotive manufacturing as far as major manufacturing... Even Elon Musk wouldnt have the balls to make the claims you guys are making here... please lets stick to reality.<p>i wish tesla well... they i think are going to be the main catalyst in popularizing the electric car... will they actually hit 500K units in 2018 out of the Fremont factory? seems unlikely given their track record but maybe... i mean toyota was able to produce that much out of the same facility before it was upgrade about a decade ago so its possible...
