Well it must depend on what you refer to as "it" surely.
The fault on making what turn out to be incorrect claims on when the site's readiness, launch, and production take place can't be laid at the door of others can it, even if the reasons for its delay can?
When Tesla started to look at sites for a new giga factory the politicians in the candidate nations offered all manner of incentives and assurances of the factory being able to operate once it was built.
In the case of Berlin, the factory is ready, but the assurances that Tesla received have turned out to be hollow. Tesla based its advertising on the assurance it received and was hoodwinked.
There has been intense lobbying by numerous groups to have the factory delayed or better shut down and these have dragged on and on hurting Tesla and Germany's reputation has a honourable nation committed to being state of the art in manufacturing, renewables and low pollution.
This kind of luddite behaviour and the inability of the politicians to suppress it is killing European competitiveness and meanwhile Chinese business are powering ahead at such a level that they could make obsolete much of Germany's manufacturing base.
This type of luddite behaviour is very common in Europe especially with well paid professionals who are slowly coming to realise that AI can do their jobs better and for much lower cost.
IMO there is no option other than embrace these new methods and develop new support systems for the people whose skills will become obsolete. US and Chinese private companies are raising billions of $ for these new fields with large number of hardware, software and similar startups all aimed at the biggest industrial revolution humanity has ever seen.
However, I doubt any of this is going to go quietly and easily. One can think of the disruptions in fleet street when the new print technology replaced the old and then muliply that by a large fraction of the economy.
The people who are delaying Tesla Berlin no doubt believe what they are doing is right and good and that all these new technologies will go away, but they will not.
