Reuters demonstrating complete incompetence regarding understanding Tesla's unboxed assembly process RoFL... I don't know about anyone else but what I saw in the unboxed assembly process presentation was front and rear giga castings and a structural battery pack (the images were based on a Model Y) the trick with unboxed was that the front and rear sections were built up in isolation with the painted portions (roof, sides, trunk and frunk) assembled onto the front, rear and battery at the end of the process. No sign of a single piece underbody in sight! It would be really useful if Reuters could manage to perform rudimentary fact checking before releasing complete works of fiction... The unboxed assembly process is almost the polar opposite of what Reuters put forward as their understanding of it...
The single casting idea probably goes back to Elon wondering why cars couldn't be cast like a matchbox toy. First principles could lead to a single casting mindset. However, a single casting requires a huge gigapress and there may be repairability issues where multiple castings are better.
@@ricinro The point is that the unboxed assembly process would be effectively NEGATED if a single casting were used and as such any idiot could work out that single casting had nothing to do with unboxed! Single casting isn't relevant period.
Tesla superchargers in China.... If... IF they stopped installing chargers it's not really a problem. Remember the reason Tesla builds charging networks is because nobody else was building them (at least with chargers that *worked* ) and those being built elsewhere were not offering a decent price. . These 2 factors dont seem to apply in China.
I find it amusing reading the commentary on Elon's strategy by nobodies in the 'media'. It explains why he is the richest person in the world and they are not. We need to remember they probably don't even believe what they write, they just need the clicks.
Matt, you are forgetting that it is one thing to cut a department when a company is small or mid-sized but at a 100K+ scale, it will have much bigger consequences and lower attractiveness of Tesla. Who in their right mind wants to work in a management or executive role and always have to expect to be fired one day to the next. No family wants to live like that. Yes, you can attract kids out of college, but for high-level people, it is a huge red flag.MOst places outside the US this would also be illegal.
Focus, focus, focus. First you put things in priority order, then you do the first one, ignoring the others, then you do the next on the list, etc. Simple.
Tbh I was saying over a year ago - the increase in speed is not worth it to go from 3 -> 1 piece. 2x or 3x pieces is not necessarily the bad way to go. Yes technically you can reduce parts and increase speed if you only have a single cast - but it might not be worth the effort and the error rate might be higher - to the point where it doesn't actually yield more output.
I would say he is banking on the competition to install charging stations continuing and he has the best system out there so there is no need to push for more installations...slow and steady wins the race
Sometimes when a business or department needs a clean out you need to get rid of everyone especially if the management don’t agree with your strategy, not doing this leaves disgruntled employees & management who aren’t on board with the new direction. I made this fatal flaw in my business…… 🤔
What if they are right and Musk is wrong? They are insiders, they know how things are and it would appear they have no faith in the robotaxi strategy, that’s not a good thing.
Here, in EU, we have programs to install EV chargers using EU funds. We have programs for EV fast charging and for normal charging. For example in Romania we had a program with a €100 mil. budget for EV stations with power between 50 kW DC or 22 kW AC. Another program, also €100 mil. budget, was for EV stations with power between 3.7 kW and 22 kW. Unfortunately, Tesla superchargers in Romania I found only 8 (according to Tesla Romania website).
The one piece was just a place holder patent, Tesla has no intention of making a real vehicle that way, it is only suitable for toy cars. The battery assembly needs to be separate to allow for installation of batteries and all the auxiliary components. Single piece front and rear casting is brilliant and simplifies manufacturing about 100X
You are probably right. A single piece casting might make it hard to replace defective batteries or to upgrade your battery. Battery tech is improving fast, so battery upgrades are likely to become a common thing in a few years.
Single underbody casting was definitely a longterm goal and it still might happen at some future point for a small sub-compact car. But it is no longer currently planned. The patent was for a near whole-car casting, which probably will never happen.
Single piece is definitely NOT a long term goal. Reasons? 1) if you're making a structural pack, you have to set the cells into the "frame" (casting?) Then you have to soak test the pack. . You have to stack them to do so. 1 casting? You're now dealing with an assembly the size of a CAR rather than a PACK (At least double the lengths, 5 times the height, 2-3 times the weight..... And more prone to damage. . 2) Take a look at the Unboxed system. You assemble components in different areas..... What do you fit them to? A section of the vehicle. Then you bring the sections together. That's *not one piece* The "sections" are 2 castings, the pack (with interior) plus body (or panels) .
@@jimroth7927 You don't "replace defective batteries" You "fuse them out" Btw, do you mean cells, or packs? . One cell in.... 850? Starts pulling current, that current bows its fuse, you lose 0.11 PERCENT capacity. . With tech (especially longevity) improving, pack upgrades will become LESS likely.
I wonder if the layout are related to a possible complete shift to contactless charging? Did Tesla recently by a company in that area - would explain the layoffs? I feel sorry for all those laid off and laid off suddenly.
This scenario, reminds me of when Steve Jobs was presented with an iPad prototype and realized it would be better to shift and develop an iPhone with the technology first, then work on the iPad. Considering iPhone’s share of Apple’s total sales , it was the right decision.
Hey, just thinking about the TH-cam algorithm. Just like you created the clips channel, maybe you should have another channel stacked and ready to go if the same thing that happened to your original channel happens to this channel.😊
Matt. here is some food for thought. You may want to bring this up in a video. A different perspective on the comment that Elon is always late on delivering...... How can Elon be a few years late on delivering his ideas when his base line of what he wants to accomplish is 10+ years or more ahead of reality. You could argue compared to everyone else, Elon is always 5+ years early. For example FSD. People would have said this type of AI was 20 years away. Most people would not even take on the project as it is to futuristic, crazy... So regardless of what Elon may say, if FSD is delivered before 2030, he will still be 10+ years ahead of any schedule the rest of the world could come up with.
@@ssing7113 When you are capable of implementing ideas 10 years ahead of their time, even when you deliver 4 years late you are still 6 ahead of schedule.
This move is not a retreat, but an advance to the unboxed production method. If you make the car in three different work stations and then connect the parts, why would you want to gigacast the entire car in one piece? Reuters shows that it is not a news organization but misinformation designed to create a stir, and 'clicks.'
If Elon sacked me on a whim if he asked me to come back I would have to think a lot before doing so!! Please ratify the compensation package!!

We have become a soft society, thinking that tough management is no longer a prerequisite for ultimate success. Toughness means un-compromising prioritization on a REGULAR repeat basis.
Can we just get one damn bank of superchargers in Maui. We have zero………. Zero. We have many people who can’t afford a 1.3 million house and want to drive a Tesla. Tesla please give us fast chargers
I'm not in favor of layoffs that could have been salvaged and used in other areas of the company. I prefer furloughs over layoffs. It demonstrates good judgement.
Is Elon running Tesla or not? If things were wacky at Tesla that required bizarre, confusing recent actions by Elon it is only because Elon let things get that bad or he was absent.
Possibly Elon is trying to get more access to supercharger sites, the challenge he faces is that Govt Electric vehicle companies can easily install charging stations because the Govt owns the land in the first place, outsourcing the land to Non-Govt companies, is challenging
James Cat also is barking up the wrong tree (pun intended)... Elon is not slowing supercharger roll out due to a slow down in EV demand. Elon has gained the confidence to go "balls to the wall" into autonomy... The supercharger network is fit for a world of owner operated human driven EVs however that isn't where we are going! The requirements of a fleet operated autonomous Transport -as-a-Service network is vastly different from the current supercharger network, continuing to build out a sub optimal charging infrastructure no longer fit for the changing landscape would be a mistake.
Elon wants to sell the superchargers to other companies that want to set up their own charging networks/convenience store. Tesla would have none of the headaches in running these places, yet it would still make money from the sale of the superchargers.
Lets see, going from taking all the profit to taking 20%, is it worth the hassle to make that miserable 80%? If not why did they do it in the first place?
I am guessing there are a lot of other orders behind the $100m BP one for Superchargers. If we are going to see a dozen rebranded Tesla superchargers on every petrol station forecourt then that could be a way of offloading the permit and beaurocratic nightmare. Installing Superchargers suffers from the same as the solar roof: it's labour intensive and limited in its ability to scale. Phillip.
Umm no. Tesla can make revenue “forever” vs. a one time costs. Smaller moat. To me would be stupid unless Tesla wants to throw in the towel and say screw it. We give up. Makes no sense to not get reoccurring revenue
@@ssing7113 Much as I hate it, I can understand the moat getting a little shallow if other EV manufacturers are giving up. At the beginning the SC network was a no-brainer USP for Tesla. The moat was great when people believe "the competition is coming". However in my entire city there are practically only Teslas. Now Tesla is protected by volume production at record breaking COGs. Everyone else sells their EV at a loss. Right now if every EV could turn up at my local SC it still would be 9/10 Teslas. Phillip.

you are a bit like the apologist/explainer of Tesla's apparent setbacks, cheap for Tesla to avoid growing its own PR Team? Brilliant unapologetic cost management by Elon, as usual. We have become a soft society, thinking that tough management is no longer a prerequisite for ultimate success. Toughness means un-compromising prioritization on a REGULAR repeat basis.
Research the writer of the article. Enough said.
Seems that Reuters is turning into a TMZ style trash publication. Why all the telsa fud attacks? Media competition with X?
Can we just get one damn bank of superchargers in Maui. We have zero………. Zero. We have many people who can’t afford a 1.3 million house and want to drive a Tesla. Tesla please give us fast chargers
Contact Tesla via X
Elon fired his compensation package.
# Pay Elon gdit
I'm not in favor of layoffs that could have been salvaged and used in other areas of the company. I prefer furloughs over layoffs. It demonstrates good judgement.
So you will be happy to know Tesla furloughed people where it was appropriate to do so.
@@tedmoss I am happy to learn that.
Elon thrives in this environment.
Some people just can't keep their bananas secure.
Real men wear T-shirts. LOL. !!!! Do it !!!!
🤔it seems like everyone attacks E just about everyday - upside, that’s how you know you are the APEX❤️
Main stream media and reuters r mostly casting a wrong impression on EV. Esp tesla. It's a matter of timing they will get it big from Tesla
HA ha… or your plums
Unloading stocks NOW has no bearing on voting rights, that was set on March 15. (or April?)
How many shares would you have to own to make it worth voting? Assuming you had to pay to vote.

Is Elon running Tesla or not? If things were wacky at Tesla that required bizarre, confusing recent actions by Elon it is only because Elon let things get that bad or he was absent.
Possibly Elon is trying to get more access to supercharger sites, the challenge he faces is that Govt Electric vehicle companies can easily install charging stations because the Govt owns the land in the first place, outsourcing the land to Non-Govt companies, is challenging
😂 the banana 🍌 😅
James Cat also is barking up the wrong tree (pun intended)... Elon is not slowing supercharger roll out due to a slow down in EV demand. Elon has gained the confidence to go "balls to the wall" into autonomy... The supercharger network is fit for a world of owner operated human driven EVs however that isn't where we are going! The requirements of a fleet operated autonomous Transport -as-a-Service network is vastly different from the current supercharger network, continuing to build out a sub optimal charging infrastructure no longer fit for the changing landscape would be a mistake.
Even if the reason is actually different than you say, you are correct.
Elon wants to sell the superchargers to other companies that want to set up their own charging networks/convenience store. Tesla would have none of the headaches in running these places, yet it would still make money from the sale of the superchargers.
Lets see, going from taking all the profit to taking 20%, is it worth the hassle to make that miserable 80%? If not why did they do it in the first place?
I am guessing there are a lot of other orders behind the $100m BP one for Superchargers. If we are going to see a dozen rebranded Tesla superchargers on every petrol station forecourt then that could be a way of offloading the permit and beaurocratic nightmare. Installing Superchargers suffers from the same as the solar roof: it's labour intensive and limited in its ability to scale.

Umm no. Tesla can make revenue “forever” vs. a one time costs. Smaller moat.
To me would be stupid unless Tesla wants to throw in the towel and say screw it. We give up.
Makes no sense to not get reoccurring revenue
What's he been doing in China?
@@ssing7113 Much as I hate it, I can understand the moat getting a little shallow if other EV manufacturers are giving up. At the beginning the SC network was a no-brainer USP for Tesla. The moat was great when people believe "the competition is coming". However in my entire city there are practically only Teslas. Now Tesla is protected by volume production at record breaking COGs. Everyone else sells their EV at a loss. Right now if every EV could turn up at my local SC it still would be 9/10 Teslas.
