4.0 earthquake centered in Fremont followed by a dozen aftershocks - San Jose Mercury News
I'm assuming this was a result of all the X panel stamping commencing.

Agreed. 4.0 is nothing but slight movement. I bet the factory workers didn't even feel it. I've sat through a sushi dinner in SF with a 4.4 mag. Not a single drop of sake was spilled.4.0 isn't very big
I would expect at least an hour delay to halt production and double check alignment of all parts on the production line. With modern robots they might just self realign but a double check wouldn't hurt.
Personal story - I grew up in Silicon Valley. After 30 years of earthquakes I could call the magnitude after a quake and get within .1. I vividly remember the 1989 7.1 magnitude quake. I was in Hayward standing in the middle of an open field. Looking across the field I could see the ground move in waves like the ocean. I turned to the person standing next to me and I said "This is bad. People are going to die." Sadly, I was correct.
The stamping machine probably feels like a 4.0 when you're standing next to it.
Maybe Elon stomped his foot in anger about a line delay?
