Building depends on Tesla having the money for the new production tools and assembly line at the Gigafactory. If they spend almost all theie remaking cash they can likely do it.

Can they do it on schedule? All past experience says no. Musk says production cars will be available 4th quarter 2020. Those will likely be a few dozen preproduction car. Early to mid 2021 is more likely for production at any scale. By then the Model 3 design will be 5 years old.
