The body center can build the car with welding and other tools. While most factories have robots that perform one function, Tesla's electronic robots can do more. The robots can perform up to five tasks. Instead of a piece-by-piece assembly, groups of pieces are assembled together.

EVs vs Fossil Fuels
I believe EVs are the best idea to come down the pike in a long time. However, how much fossil fuels are used to charge them? Is this a hidden tradeoff in energy resources?

The true benefit to electric is the vast ways we can create it.. and many of them are highly renewable or natural forms of energy. Such as Water, Wind, Thermal heat and solar. So if you have the funds/or equipment you can literally eliminate your fuel costs all together using any of these available resources and generate your own power. That is the main idea and benefit of using Electricity. Granted fossil fuels are used to generate electricity as well there are just alternatives to fossil fuels.
