How much is this chalked up to Fremont being an old site compared to the newer Giga Factories? IMO, Fremont has outlived its usefulness.I feel that's a little unfair. One thing I've noticed as a pattern with Tesla/Musk in general is they don't respond unless they are sued. They also claim to never settle any unjust cases (so a lot of these are just?) so a lot of these just need to go through the legal process, but takes a long time and this case possibly started as far back as 2018. I don't think I'd want anyone to be dumping toxic mats next to where I live, but until lawsuits fly, there is a history of Tesla (and his companies) not paying, etc. More links of settlements, not paying bills even in TX, etc unless sued.

"It’s led to dozens of outstanding liens since 2019. In total, Reuters reports that more than two dozen companies have filed 72 liens, 41 of which were filed this year, adding up to more than $2.5 million due in payments. "
Musk is also quick to claim legal action/sue against anything against him too:

Both the market cap and operational (Rev & EBITDA) milestones simply had to be met. More than that, they were sustained for several Qs each. I'm not sure what your point is in pointing out we are currently below the "final triggers" because they already triggered.
Ridiculous, you are not talking about shares you can sell and buy back a couple of days later. We are talking about people who have commitments based on continuous employment and people who have emotions. This is not how you treat them
A higher % of float makes the stock more prone to a squeeze, but I'm not sure it's a more useful measure when it comes to the point I am making. My point is that high short interest often paradoxically coincides with a relative minimum of the SP. I hope I don't have to explain again why this is paradoxical.
Why not? Remember, it is not just solely Elon who build the company. The company was build by all the people who work there. If your CEO treats the people who help you build the company it says something about you and how you view the company.
If you had all the money in the world, sure a replacement factory would be a nice to have. However, Fremont is the most productive automobile factory in North America--even with it's issues.
I still dont understand why Berlin and Texas volume is so low.
It shows the total history of production and is not a representation of the present day.
And the QC is high there now. Not Shanghai perfect but pretty good on my last two. No gripes with the Austin rental I had awhile either but the institutional memory etc now at Fremont is worth something,
