I also think that there is no way they would bet the whole farm on twice a month launches in such a short time frame considering the heat tiles that NASA worked on for decades and never really solved, and their new designs are still popping off the Starship. They must have a contingency plan of some sort, even if it's counting on the govt to bail them out like GM.

The Raptor is already showing decent progress with the test hops, so I wonder if it is more of a production efficiency issue they are dealing with.
