I'm saying I've watched at least 2 full videos of his, and he doesn't apply rules of thumb appropriately, but instead mashes them into the things he's enthusiastic about.
For that reason, his videos fall under my "entertainment" category rather than the "information" category.
As an analogy, when I want to be entertained on the topic of cars, I watch Doug DeMuro. When I want to be informed, I watch Alex Dikes.
All that is the long way to say I didn't watch the video...
I'll watch and see if there's anything surprising to me.
Alright, I watched and learned that battery costs may be at all time lows this year despite them increasing last year. We're seeing a horizontal asymptote though in battery pricing, meaning we shouldn't expect batteries to cost 80% less in the next 10 years.
...he's got another video (among the ones I've watched) where he claims a battery surplus due to EVs not selling. Well, that would certainly drive battery prices lower. If demand were high, so too would be the prices.

The prototype assembly line at Austin Gigafactory will be replicated in Mexico. They will put the door card on the door, put the door in it's frame and then slap the whole side of the car on at once. No more trying to work inside a complete shell.

I've recently seen clips (Sandy's channel) highlighting assembly efficiencies Tesla has developed. Pretty slick to build from the inside out with large modular pieces.
