They originally over-relied on automation in their factories, to Elon’s own admission. There’s just some tasks that humans will always be better at, until we see a fundamental change in robotics. And no, the current AI fad is not enough.

They’ve been working to solve those problems as well so they are more robot friendly. One of the problems was the wiring harness being limp/flexible so they started using a more rigid wiring system.
Probably not good enough to have a robot replace it yet, but I bet a change like that also reduces the people hours required reducing head counts

For every job you replace with a robot, you generally have to hire 3 robot technicians, 1 per shift.

That’ll go about as well as the full self-driving capability of tesla vehicles.
