    Also, there is no way to actually measure this tight of a tolerance on large parts such as a car, since the standard methods for this tight of a tolerance measurement is… using a caliper, as using automated optical inspection for every dimension isn’t really feasible.

    So, I guess they’ll probably just coddle Musk and make some fake drawings for his eyes only or something, which would only be more useless work for Tesla people.

      We definitely have lasers that can measure this tolereance.

        Yeah, as I said, automated optical inspection isn’t feasible, it would be extremely cost prohibitive to set up laser fixtures for every dimension.
