Or you know, hiring people that know what they do. Instead of reinventing everything from "first principles" like musk likes to say
Well, considering other new companies like Rivian can only produce half these numbers and other longtime companies like GM also struggle to hit 1/3 of these numbers, I think there's more to it than just hiring the right people. In 3 years, Xiaomi has gone from "Hey, we should try to build a car" to producing 100k cars per year.
It only takes xiaomi 76 seconds to make a su7

Not quite accurate. They produce a car every 76 seconds but it takes them longer per each individual car.
That article is pretty rad and it's impressive how quickly they've been able to put this operation all together in just a couple of years.
The frame casting machine is especially cool
