They've been working to solve those problems as well so they are more robot friendly. One of the problems was the wiring harness being limp/flexible so they started using a more rigid wiring system.

Probably not good enough to have a robot replace it yet, but I bet a change like that also reduces the people hours required reducing head counts

Edit: I was just thinking about this more, and with the cybertruck now using ethernet in its 48v system, I wonder if this will be as relevant given there's less cabling. I guess even then it'd still be easier to have something rigid around it, but maybe it's not even worth it now.
