I thought that the tent (at least the first one) was an entirely new assembly line to just increase throughput

Yes. The factory building wasn’t large enough to fit the new line inside of it, so they put the line in a temporary structure. Fremont was very space constrained for what they were trying to do at that time - so in that specific context, a manufacturing method that reduced the footprint of assembly by 40% (or whatever) would be incredibly useful. But is that generally a problem for auto manufacturers, so that solving for footprint (instead of cost, time, or labor) is a really relevant thing?

GM is doing that already.
Build the frame and motor assembly and attach the interior and body afterwards.
The vehicles above are either production, preproduction, or designs. All of them are for EV production. Some are in limited supplies for now.
Boys talk price but as men we buy what we like for more money.
