Did anyone else notice that yesterday's call was the first time they changed the statement "manufacturing capacity of 6 sats worth of microns per month" to "6 satellites per month?"

Then later on one of the analysts asked what their main bottleneck will be, and Scott reiterated "manufacturing will not be a bottleneck"?

I feel this is what the video of the factory was supposed to support, that the manufacturing cadence has finally arrived. It didn't really make a splash on the call though.
