That's not remotely close to accurate

Somehow Tantan currently seems to be releasing a new frameset onto the market every week, which is a deal breaker for me...

I wont fact check that, but if they indeed release new frames all the time, it's all the more likely that they aren't making (all) the frames themselves (cf. SL8 thread where some people here are now certain that Tantan doesn't manufacture the SL8 clone themselves).
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

At the very least TanTan is mixing and matching various parts from their existing molds.

This frame is a Frankenstein: The rear half is directly from my TanTan X38 Scott Foil clone. I can at least give credit to the fact TanTan was one of the very first OEM budget brands to offer T47 in a road frame.
