Revenue doesn’t matter. Profit matters. Steady profits every quarter without accounting gimmicks.

It takes just as much design and testing time to build a low volume car as it does a high volume car. You still have to build tooling for every part just like a high volume car. Yes the assembly line can be simplified and manual.
The Model Y needs a new assembly line in NV as well as tooling designed and built for the 30% that is new. It still needs product validation and testing.
The Semi is COMPLETELY new and in a market segment that Tesla has no experience.
