Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently teamed up with Youtube tech star Marques Brownlee, better known as MKBHD, to give the internet an up-close look at what goes on behind-the-scenes at the company’s Fremont factory.

“Musk did say that Model 3 production speed has now increased to ‘about 1 mph’, which is faster than the Model S and Model X line, which is where they were walking through during their tour. The CEO likes to use the speed at which a vehicle travels through the assembly as a metric to evaluate the progress of production,” reports Electrek.
