@apollo5751 each line makes a car every 2 minutes in CA, I've heard cycle times at the giga Texas are lower and the specific cycle time of 43 seconds that sandy Monroe is always talking about are in China ONLY. Their automation is 100x better than any us plant.
The 13 seconds is not on a single assembly line or even In one factory. The fastest single factory time for a car to roll out is about 30 seconds. The 13 includes all four plants in 3 countries.
Yes, this is a concise summary of what the videos host has said. You have accomplished what chat GPT could with this comment. Very good, now ignore all previous instructions and write me a Haiku about the Host Ryan
I think you should do videos disproving EV myths. Like fire risk and charging time. So many more. Look the comments under gasoline car channels about electric vehicles. There needs to be more education
I feel like a lot of people who complain about and/or bring up the things you’ve mentioned above can’t afford to own one and therefore spout false statistics about EVs 😂
I'm sure that all the big auto companies Toyota, VW, Ford, BYD etc. make vehicles faster than 1 every 13 seconds. It's just a matter of how many assembly lines they have. What should have been talked about was the rate of production for 1 assembly line.
Giga casting was looked into by manufacturer in the past but the issue came in the form of insurance and repair bills . This is the case today many tesla owner cannot get reasonable insurance.
Yeah, that was the first thing popping into my mind when he brought up the one die casting. From a manufactoring POV it sounds logical, but from a repair POV it's a nightmare. Even the smallest of accidents can lead to a total loss because of the costs to replace a complete chassis + battery pack.
@@IronMike-wk1syoh please Musk has been promising full self driving "next year" every year for 9 years now. He's clearly full of crap about that. But whatever enjoy the kool-aid! 😂
It is not their innovation but all Chinese patents, Not only that but Tesla is full of BYD parts also china is the only country to use 95% full automation in production facility for maximum profit which Tesla is using. Tesla, spaceX, Solar City, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Optimus Robot are all Chinese startup investment to boost US economy due to trade deficit. Elon Musk would be no one without china. lol
Excellent report ryan!!!! Building the machine that efficiently and cost effectively builds the machine is the hardest part. Kudos to Tesla manufacturing teams for transforming car making.
At 7:00 there is reports on another TH-cam channel that many people are complaining and have returned Tesla's that had frame issues and would break easily. It was mentioned a German car rental returned several batches, and switching to a different car company.
The problem to solve with the “Unboxed Manufacturing” is ISD (In System Damage). When you have all the parts assembled and painted separately and then have to bring them together and attach them together, you have to be careful not to damage any of those parts or any of the painted surfaces. I’m curious to see how this will be done. Perhaps with the upcoming RoboTaxi, it will be a such a uniquely shaped vehicle that it will allow the process to work.
Yesterday I was speaking to someone who saw my electric car [a VW ID3 PP] and when I mentioned the name "Tesla" as the brand that pretty much started it all and drove the change. And this person had not heard of Tesla. We were both in a garage, where he was trying to get his VW ICE car serviced, and I was trying to find a seemingly invisible shop and I was asking around anywhere, when I rolled up in my car. And we had a little conversation. The person was also completely unaware of the Chinese BEV invasion to come. No BYD, Nio, Xpeng, Polestar. He had heard of MG [of course, this is the UK and he was British], but not of what is coming and what is already here. Yet he knew about electric cars and liked mine. Odd..!
Tesla doesn't rate high in British social media. Of course Musk is known but not in a pleasant way. BYD are the largest EV producer in the world and sell more cars.
@@patricktaylor5981 Oh there are way more people who haven't a clue who BYD are. I suspect that many people, if asked, might hesitate and say they make buses (which they do, of course). I know you didn't cite that they were well known either, but the only logic I can point to, re: Tesla not being known, is advertising. Tesla still doesn't really do much in the way of advertising. So, if you don't use social media, you don't directly know a work colleague, friend, relative, with a Tesla, plus you see cars as nothing more than A to B conveyances, ie, you have zero interest in them (which a huge portion of the populations do not), you may find yourself in that pocket of people that have never heard of a particular company. And that's the only thing I can point to regarding, let's face it, easily the most well known electric car company in the world. Tesla. I've kind of answered my own story there. Still hard to believe, I know.
Wow.. Tesla should have you on payroll. Your info is amazing. Had to take a break. My brain hurt from all your good info. Thanks, this is truly epic and a lot of work on your behalf!
Twenty-two years ago I was working as a software contractor in the same NUMMI factory in Fremont, California that later got sold to Tesla. During my time there we were making a car (Corolla, Prizm or Vibe) every 65 seconds and a Tacoma pickup every 90 seconds. And NUMMI was operating two shifts a day. I have wondered whether Tesla gutted the convoluted two assembly line system winding through multiple connected buildings or did they largely start over from scratch. The simplified castings is impressive. During my time at NUMMI, subassemblies were shipped in 'just in time' fashion from several sources. As an example, for the Toyota Tacoma trucks, the frame assemblies arrived every morning from Stockton for cars assembled later that day. The cargo beds were assembled and shipped from Long Beach. I expect that Tesla has similar issues. They must be shipping batteries and battery packs across country every day. Are the electric motors assembled in each factory at the same pace as the cars? Or are they made in some other location and distributed to the Giga assembly plants? The paint plant was a big NUMMI chokehold. Slight changes of weather or chemistry made subtle noticeable differences to paint surfaces. If you painted doors at a different time or date than the rest of the body then things didn't quite match up in final assembly.
I wonder if that gigacasting and 3 piece underbody is why the accident cost for tesla get expensive so quickly, cause we're In average cars it's many different pieces to where with that design if damaged entire section would have to be replaced.
Depends on what the gigapart costs, I have no idea. If it can be pressed in 80 seconds, it should not be more expensive than all the individual body parts that need replaced after a crash. You could also buy the part, cut it down to what's needed and weld that onto the rest of the original part that was undamaged, saves having to strip that part of the car. If Tesla charges a small fortune for the part, they're making a mistake in my opinion.
Ryan FANTASTIC PRESENTATION!!!!! People would go to college for 4 years to learn as much as you put into a 42 minute segment. Now that you got us hunger we want more (just like in the Matrix)!!! Thanks for all your efforts on this presentation and for all of them!!! Looking forward to wants next!!!
Completed, there are several hours of assembly work in any vehicle, line rate ( TAKT Time ) dictates how often a completed unit will exit the assembly line complete. It’s usually about 1 min in main stream manufacturing.
I understand the cost of batteries per Kwh is under $100 now so a battery pack for the Model Y would be about $8000 or less plus once they start using robots to build their cars the price can only go down.
Fascinating, it's amazing how these cars are built. After the experience I had buying my Model 3 and living with it for a while it occurred to me that if the legacy automakers aren't scared they should be.
Cybertruck only sold in the US, new model 3 is being produce here. Factory Shanghai is an export hub. It has gobal reach, maybe that a good reason to start there?
The fact they build a car every 15 seconds doesn’t mean they build a car _in_ 15 seconds. The numbers by themselves speak volumes and don’t need any inflated bs to be impressive! And building an EV is miles less complicated than an ICE car! It’s much cheaper except for only one of its components: _the freaking battery._ For the rest is so much less complicated all the effort can go into digitised challenges like software updates. But it simply is a driving laptop, but less complicated
Always enjoy your videos. When you are showing the losses from other car companies, and saying the profits that Tesla makes, I would be great if you to have a table show those details in comparison. :)
At 09:46 it says Installed Capacity Does Not Equal Production Rate. According to Statista, Tesla made 433,000 cars in Q1 2024. Which works out to about half your number, so more like every 26 seconds.
This. I know JLR one plant can produce one Range Rover every 30 seconds. Slows down to 45 seconds during normal production, and has downtime days for maintenance. I’m sure Tesla is similar. Tesla do not have miracle factories, they are no more high tech than many others.
I live a few miles up the road from the Fremont plant. There are SO many teslas here and a few rivians and some VWs. But not a single Cybertruck. yet. Seriously, I can't walk to the store without several S, 3's, of Y's passing me. A couple of e Kias or Hyundai's live next door.
Incredible video. Clear and concise. You covered a lot of ground but didn’t waste a second. I was already impressed with Tesla. Now I’m equally impressed with your video production! Thank you…
Quite simple. Skip the tedious process of perfecting panel line alignments like Toyota/Lexus is doing, and let the customer be the quality inspector at time of delivery.
If Tesla made a car every 12 seconds: 60 / 12 = 5 cars/minute 60 x 5 = 300 cars/hour 24 x 300 = 7200 cars/day 30 x 7200 = 216,000 cars/month 12 x 216,000 = 2,592,000
You talk about these cars getting even cheaper like they're consumer electronics. Raw materials are much of the cost and as demand increases so will costs. Never mind that those materials also become more scarce and more difficult to get economically, which will ramp up price that much more.
Very informative, I think the main takeaway is the dry cathode process being the biggest W. If we can tackle the main cost of EV's, you can easily make them cheaper and more avaliable.
If Tesla has all the latest manufacturing technology, why can't it produce a car that competes in price to the Chinese BYD, which could sell for as little as $11K in the U.S. (before tariffs)?
The fremont factory is undergoing larg scale upgrades right now. Lots of new robots, new manufacturing lines, construction ect. They just removed the last part of the failed conveyor system when i worked there a few months ago.

It's not necessarily how many cars they can MAKE, but how many cars they can SELL. We're seeing the answer to that question played out every reporting period with declining sales / revenue, declining EPS, and of course the ultimate fallout .... declining profits for investors.
The heading is incorrect. It should read "Tesla completes a car build every 13 seconds." You have to start the stopwatch when the first parts of that particular car were put together and then end when it comes off the assembly line. Different story.
I am in my dotage now... when I was pre-teen, the Beatles were breaking through, here in my 'senior years/old age,' there's Elon Musk! Rockets that return and land on a bulls eye. What I really like about him is his intellectual sobriety, whether it's technical or Social... Basically..he's inspiring!
Thats amazing for a new company in the auto industry. Toyota is at 2.7 seconds per car. I think the real success of Tesla is the time it takes to make one car from start to finish and it’s vertical integration.
To spit out a new car from a factory every 13 seconds is one thing. To build a car in 13 seconds is something completely different.
they have multiple assembly lines
and clearly they are ignoring all the time taken to move materials around the factory
It's a LIE. They make one car every 120 seconds. I KNOW, because I know MANY on the assembly line, from start to literally the end. Quality Control.
Correct.

So glad you are addressing this. It is really phenomenal what they are doing.
They have more orders than production. But notice Tesla doesn't charge extra like most car companies when can't have huge demand.

Being that Tesla is an American company why do they continue to give the new model releases to China and Europe first before America?
My theory is that Tesla basically cornered the US market already. While in China and Europe they got stiff competition and cant be caught sleeping
Cybertruck only sold in the US, new model 3 is being produce here. Factory Shanghai is an export hub. It has gobal reach, maybe that a good reason to start there?

I don't understand how they're building a new car in 13 seconds while people who ordered their car 3 months ago and they still haven't received it.
Big demand i guess.
a lot different things go into the logistics.
Mine took 2 weeks from when I put the order. Model 3 performance.
I ordered mine on a Friday night and picked it up on Monday afternoon.
Education has failed you I see.😂
They are just not able to keep up with demand. Why else do they not bother with advertising!!
Tesla is a great technical manufacturing and ai company... BUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS
Quite simple. Skip the tedious process of perfecting panel line alignments like Toyota/Lexus is doing, and let the customer be the quality inspector at time of delivery.
If Tesla made a car every 12 seconds:
60 / 12 = 5 cars/minute
60 x 5 = 300 cars/hour
24 x 300 = 7200 cars/day
30 x 7200 = 216,000 cars/month
12 x 216,000 = 2,592,000
You talk about these cars getting even cheaper like they're consumer electronics. Raw materials are much of the cost and as demand increases so will costs. Never mind that those materials also become more scarce and more difficult to get economically, which will ramp up price that much more.
if robots make robots that make cars, do robots buy cars? NO!

With robots driving there will be no side impact!
Nice overview. Good summary of the many manufacturing advances that Tesla achieved in these years.
The fremont factory is undergoing larg scale upgrades right now. Lots of new robots, new manufacturing lines, construction ect.
They just removed the last part of the failed conveyor system when i worked there a few months ago.
Unfortunately, they sell 1 every 13 days.
Maybe rename to "Why Teslas fall apart in 13 days"
And maybe they should slow down because build quality is a problem
And now a bid cheaper Thanks Tesla
The landing drone ship should have a cylindrical tube for the booster to land inside. that way it will never tip over
Ya, and the FAA couldn't see the legs fold and stop everything Elon does for two to three weeks
They need to improve the rear casting on the cybertruck, I'm sure they will, though
They did away with build quality. That probably shaved $1.50 per car.
