      The heaviest Tesla is around 2.5 tons…but that’s beside the point.

      The scale doesn’t matter. In fact, taking a desktop process and industrializing it makes it more accurate and repeatable - especially in a large-item manufacturing setting.

      The best argument against the 1 micron requirement is that it’s unnecessary from a practical standpoint. I completely agree with that, for sure.
