Giga Texas is Tesla’s sleeping giant, and having quietly outpaced Giga Berlin in development, the factory is set to make Model Y production explode higher. Elon Musk is downplaying Tesla's newest Gigafactory, which will be fit with state of the art Giga Presses, Stamping machines, and a cutting edge paint shop. Giga Texas will produce full sized Giga castings for Model Y, followed by the Cybertruck, when the 8000 ton Giga Press arrives. While the Tesla Semi will also be produces at the Austin factory, ramp up of the 4680 battery cells will be critical for its release. That said, given that Giga Nevada is the driving force of the company so far, Giga Texas will do multiple times the production when it's fully complete.

Do you think Giga Texas will beat Giga Berlin to first customer deliveries? And what year do you think Giga Texas transforms itself into Tera Texas, with 1TWh of yearly battery output? Be sure to check out:

Have a look at our website themarketisopen.com
Perhaps the real question is what will be the doubling rate of Tesla's production capacity across all of its sectors of raw materials processing, battery, vehicle, solar pannels, and new products.
I do think Texas will start before Berlin at this point. As for ramp up, it will take a while. On the last earnings call, Elon explained that Shanghai took longer to ramp than to build. Also supply chain issues are an ongoing challenge.
Definitely
Berlin is the Tesla killer. I don’t think any company will go to Berlin after Tesla.
Can not wait for Texas to deliver the Cybertruck. Hopefully I can get my order by 2025. I ordered a month after the unveiling.
I would like to add a clarification. The terms '6000 ton gigapress' and '8000 ton gigapress' do not describe the weight of the presses, but rather the pressure they can use to inject heated aluminum alloy into molds. Higher pressure results in faster injection and better conformance of the alloy to the mold shape.
They're large presses, absolutely - but they are nothing like as massive as thousands of tons.
I was confused on this point a few months ago, so I expect others will be, too. Best to get the clarification into viewers' heads. And content creators' heads, too.
The additional Tonnage rating also supports larger tools which can make larger parts. The sub frames for the Cybertruck will be larger than Model Y and also have the capability to scale up commercial vehicles like delivery vans and similar 1 ton commercial vehicles.
good info thanks for the clarification
Yes that's right. i referred to the Giga Press video, where I clarified that th-cam.com/video/YZoVEauHDt4/w-d-xo.html
@@TMIOTesla Let me get a little technical. The tonnage rating is the clamping force applied to the closing of the tool. The larger the tool, the more pressure required to inject material into the tool. More pressure requires more clamping force to ensure that material fills the larger cavity.
Giga-Presses are really no different than horizontal plastic injection molding presses. They just substitute molten aluminum for molten plastic.
I think that the most "revolutionary" aspect of these is the temperature. It takes a lot more temp to melt aluminum than it does to melt plastic. That's why the giga-presses have furnaces. With plastic injection molding we use heaters.
@@TheJeffcurran and also the "revolutionary" chemical & physical properties of the aluminium alloy SpaceX developed for the Tesla subframes & Structural Battery.
Outstanding video! This is the best summary of the current state of Tesla manufacturing I have seen. Thanks.
Your comment about a ‘local minimum’ in spending signaling completion of the two factories caught my attention. Great observation.
The size of the Texas factory brings joyous tears to my eyes when I think of it fully functioning at max efficiency in the very near future. Efficiency greater than any other manufacturer of any kind
Once the factory in Texas is build its game over for everyone else.
LOL
Yes for now. I wonder what they will improve on for the 1-4 that will be ready by the end of 2023.
Yea ok🤣
The blade battery, although less performing, looks to have great scalability, and potential improvements down the road, due to its cell density.
Game Over = nonsense.
That is such a stunningly-huge building. And it's not even the full size.
I've always liked the goal of papering the roofs of these massive factories in solar panels, too: no reason not to.
I’d rather see the massive parking lot covered with solar panels providing electricity for the grid and shade for the cars.
Ya they like that too because they sell them for shit tons of US dollars regardless of cost and efficiency 😂
@@sharkoboyo WTF r u talking about? Who r they? I’ve had solar panels since 2013 and have saved thousands of dollars I would’ve given away to the utility company. They paid for themselves in four years. Maybe I misunderstood your comment.
@@jeffbransky6499 roof is better, no drunk dumbass is gonna knock over and damage the panels so you can. Get the full usage out of the 20 to 30 year life expectancy. Either way it's a good idea since it will allow the factory to supply its own energy needs and likely sell off Surplus energy to the grid. Build a nearby mega pack installation and you can have the entire installation completely grid independent if need be which can prevent shutdowns costing millions of dollars.
@@mrspeigle1 LOL!
Tesla is and will be the king in production for years to come!
My brain: im not gonna watch Tesla Economist anymore, he makes me way too bullish and i cant buy more Tesla.
*Watches TMIO instead*
My Brain: aah yes tomorrow is monday lets buy more Tesla.
TMIO is just as good, or bad, how ever you think.
To be fair, the name of the channel is a pretty strong tell :)
Don't watch "Solving The Money Problem" or you might be selling everything you have to buy more Tesla. :-)
@@davidhayes2374 hahah true. He is the reason im already all in.
Well, the Kato road facility is said to have a capacity of 10Gwh/year.. The battery factory in Texas is about 20x the size of Kato road, plus it probably have more efficient equipment with higher production rates.. so yeah I think we may call it Terra Texas some day.
Btw, the battery factory being built in Berlin might be even bigger!
The Cybertruck and Semi are going to be the vehicles that are using the biggest batteries and the and with the longest range, so the 4860 batteries are perfect and many Gwh needed.
Berlin battery plant was moved to TX due to the new IRA signed by the President. There is clos to 12B additional profit by doing that.
@@EnriqueThiele It is not like in Berlin never will be batteries produced, it's just that some equipment is now fist installed in Texas, so Texas can start earlier and ramp up faster than in Berlin. But in Berlin also batteries will be produced for the Berlin manufactured cars.
Great video! Your channel is under rated
Fantastic video!
Tesla's Secret Weapon video was very interesting...it helps to explain about the factory's in a manner that I understand. Now there's a first!!!
So, many thanks for making it, I really do appreciate this.
Thanks for the advice. 😃👍🙏Tesla opened one of its few stores literally behind our house 1 hour North of NYCity in a small town...
Before that, i was only reading posts wishing to own a cheaper used one.
But after i helped some more customers (some families) with cheap home improvements, later their Asian business relatives keep sending me hundreds of generous offers...
..
Offers including more than enough for EVs factory versions startups, as they remind me thier Asian countries EVs market is in infancy, and their demands for mini EVs more affordable, slower safer speeds more practical versions for everyone.. and to much to list here.
.🙏🙏🙏🤔👍😃👍🙏🙏🙏
because the Asian relatives are dedicated to help others like me, knowing I'd rather sacrifice , improvise, rather than accept free "entitlements".
.
Offers are our USA governments ways of only sinking our dollar value and lowering ethics.
.
Long story short.
As a teenager chauffeur, good executives mentored me, talking about various lessons, I'm happy to be aware of as references, seeing their worldly estimates starting progress, in favor of harder working countries.
.
The Asia relatives offers are to much to believe yet true since they're only happy to add proof of their family's legacy businesses and billions of people are sharing. Our western cultures are trained to not share "patents" or add affordable versions, like better built golf carts into family versions.
.
Long story short #2 = Our western cultures "foods" are mostly GMOs, built in pesticides impossible to clean. = stopping stomach flora digestion ,= forcing less regrowth for less brain activity = mistakes chain reactions costing billions ongoing... less chances of sharing important things to help everyone.
True..
.
Sadly true because our USA was 29-31 place recent years in PISA the most difficult world university entrance exams scores,..
Singapore and China, 1st and 2nd place recent years to prove ,"filial piety" priority of family traditions have best life long results.
🤔🙏

😃👍
Thank you kindly for your attention to electric modernization options.
Good luck to you and others.
Just a comment about Texas and the number of "factories" being built. When Tesla built Shanghai, they only created a single produce (may have had multiple lines). In Berlin, they are only building out 1/4 of the diamond shaped factory and only the Model Y is known to be the current product. For Texas, they are building the entire diamond shape and it is speculated that the Cybertruck will also be made in this building shortly after the Y starts production. So, assuming 2 products out of Texas, Tesla is actually building 3 major lines at the same time from what we know. A few missing pieces and a bit of speculation... the Semi is to be released in 2022 and they expect it to be mass produced in Texas. What if the Texas site was being built out for Semi at the same time or just after Cybertruck. Reason for this speculation, Tesla in Shanghai has basically used 1/4 of the space for each product but Texas is doing all 4 quadrants at once. With 1 quadrant used for battery production, they should have space for the Y, Cybertruck and Semi. This could also explain why the building is being built in such a way, Model Y space done first and then enclosed, the Cybertruck space, then battery and the finally Semi to close up the space. Building them all at near the same time may also allow for a unique layout for vehicle assembly to improve over Singapore and Berlin.
Agreed, then Start the extended part for the new 25k car coming out in 2023, 3 or 4 lines on that one, I believe. It is going to be the best selling car in the world, taking over from the MY. IMO
They should add a car trailer assembly line, so that the semis can leave fully loaded with teslas
The semi is probably going to be 2023 to 2024 TBH. Which might be a good thing given the amount of support infrastructure that's going to need to be built to sustain them. I suspect an entirely new level of charging is going to be needed level 4 charging disappoint the 1000 kilowatt hour battery packs which will inevitably become 2000 kilowatt-hour battery packs as the needs of the industry are met
@@mrspeigle1 I don’t disagree with your timeline. But the misconception is that most truck drivers drive a long distance. That is not true, 80% of semi’s drive 300 miles round-trip or less. Only 20% do long haul’s. Which means that we don’t need a charging infrastructure for most vehicles. The 300 mile range will be 500 kWh or less as Tesla’s batteries are getting better and they may need less. Tesla can build out superchargers for the truck as needed. Customers will have specific destinations so Tesla just need to deal with that first.
The Austin Phase 1 will produce the Model Y and most of the parts needed inhouse like seats, drivetrain, batteries, plastics etc. In the future other productionlines will be included like model 3 or model 2. Soon they will start construction of phase 2 for Cybertruck and Semitruck IMHO. Many think that CT will be build in phase 1 but i doubt it, it will produce parts but not the final assembly.
If that is the case, then the CT will not deliver until the end of 2022 or early 2023? CT will have the SS body being made somewhere else, I believe, the Rear is a casting and no paint. I believe it will be a smaller amount of room needed, the Casting is a bit bigger then the others, but not by a lot.
I think some of the CT factory is in there already, maybe at the end of Phase 1 it will be completed. Elon has been saying that some CT's would come out in 2021 for the past 6 months, if it was phase 2, he would have never said that.
I don't think M3 will be included in Phase one. The MY is gaining huge traction and M3 is being cannibalized. SUV's are what people are buying in the US. The compact is not going to start until 2023, so that make no sense that they are doing anything for that model until next year. IMO
@@MyUniversalUniversity First CT will most likely come from fremont of nevada, i guess the test setup will be there for small volume production, employees deliveries, crashtest vehicles, show room models etc, then when perfected they will design and build their main facility in austin for final production. It will be a much simpeler factory because no battery and paintshop, just a GA line and logistics area. Ground is already cleared and ready to go. My guess where now the main parking lot is located. Customer deliveries for CT is already pushed back into 2022. I do think that austin will take over M3 from fremont and they will keep some M3 there for east coast after rebuilding it with the front and rear castings. They will have to make room in fremont for the roadster and more MY for eastcoast.
@@PM_82 This is Tesla's update for Q2 2021, go to page 7 and it says Texas =
Model Y - In construction
Cybertuck - In Development

This was 13 days ago. So it is in Texas according to Tesla.
As he said on the Video, Austin is going to be state of the art everything, they are not going to build anything at Fremont and then bring it to Texas???
Texas will do MY East coast, that is why it is in the middle of the country? M3 will be after MY, CT, Semi, Roadster, New model and then M3, IMO!! Have a good night.
You are correct. 4680 is a risk factor. The MY doesn't require it day 1, the CT and Semi both require it to be built.
So MY first, then CT and Semi as 4680 ramps.
@@avgjoe5969 The Plaid+ also needed the 4680
Great summary as always, ty
Very nicely done. A lot of solid info, well organized.
Great overview with a bunch of interesting information. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed watching it!
I suspect Elon has some additional strategic goals for Giga Texas concerning production of batteries and utility vehicles.
Better, cheaper batteries and electric motors are needed for satellites and spacecraft, and once he gets to other planetary bodies electrically powered surface transportation and machinery will be needed. Having your own industrial base in place to develop these technologies is useful to this end, especially when it is self-supporting and makes money for other efforts. And of course ultimately he will want to not just transport products but factories to distant destinations. Experience in developing automated machinery and automated production will be needed. Similarly, having capability and experience in boring large underground tunnels could be handy too. As well being able to quickly establish inter- and intra-planetary communications by setting up a constellation of inexpensive satellites.
I think Elon has a long game plan.
Elon is showing a long game plan.
With efforts to build in Austin, & Berlin: being among greatest political red-tape of the world.
I’m envisioning a Tesla truck driving to park meadows mall (where the Tesla store is) then the cars automatically roll off the truck drive themselves to their new owners. Wow!
One of the best videos from you IMO. Thanks as always
You captured mY thinking exactlY. I want a Model Y. But I don't need a new car todaY (or next Year reallY), I just want one. I perceive a Texas-made, 4680-powered Y as much more valuable than a current Y. I imagined buYing a Y todaY, then regretting mY choice in a year when the evolved Y proves to be so much better. Then I thought, "How can I find out when the 4680 pack starts to be installed, so I can place the order then?" You must be correct about TESLA fudging 2170 and 4680 details to avoid people like me putting orders on hold. That said, TESLA has no shortage of orders (by mY count, mY place in the CYBRTRK queue is 2.1 million).
2.1 million in n the CYBRTRK queue.
Wow! More than 2 million preorders!
All the traditional truck manufacturers have problems indeed!
I watched another video which said that the 4860 batteries were only going to be used in larger vehicles? We will have to see. The 2180's will give you a perfect battery. They are making it better all the time. Innovation is happening. Range increases with the same batteries have been going on for 3 years now on the Model 3.
Y ARE YOU DOING THAT??!!

Love the Tesla developments
I think there may be more public announcements about Giga Berlin to keep Europeans enthralled and waiting for those Berlin Model Ys. Promoting Giga Texas would only result in Osborne Effecting Model Ys made in Fremont to Americans who can already buy Teslas.
I've got a September 2020 Model Y from Fremont. The paint is so soft - not good at all. I think paint is not so much a factor of the age of the factory, but it's location. California has very strict pollution laws. I would think paint processes that can be used in Germany and maybe Texas cannot be used in California.
Production Hell 2017. Always good to bring this up. It almost killed Tesla, but they got through it. I'll bet Musk's worst sleepless nights are when he spots another 'Production Hell' rearing its ugly head - but he knows they survived 2017 when he says they were a week away from bankruptcy three times. Now he says, "Time is the only limited resource." So whatever it is, Tesla will figure it out, make it work and then make it brilliant. That they're doing more for less money might indicate they could use more engineers and people.
"The machine that builds the machine." One key reason Musk is so determined to make Tesla factories robotic, is that everywhere there are no humans the machines can simply be speeded up. (For their 4680 battery lines they're looking for engineers who have skills working with very high rotational speeds. They could perhaps make batteries 100x faster if they can just figure out how to keep them from flying apart.)
Know how they ask authors, 'What three writers would you like at a dinner party?' And they all say Dickens, Shakespeare.... Well, if you were to ask anyone who really knows: What period in the history of technology would you like to witness? The answer is obvious: Space X and Tesla right now.
I disagree on what period of time. 2040 or 2050. Tesla may have a Mars colony by then and orbiting (and/or lunar) factories.
@@johnb7430 I'm only quoting Musk. He said "Time is the only limited resource," in the second Everyday Astronaut tour of Starbase with him, th-cam.com/video/SA8ZBJWo73E/w-d-xo.html In 2017 clearly money was a limited resource - not anymore!
I thought maybe you were responding to my usual investment confidence timeline of 5-10 years. Which I think with experience any investor will realize is a really valuable concept. Today, tomorrow the rest of the year? no clue (day traders always go broke) 5 years? 100% confidence that Tesla will be at least 7x, 10x - very high probability.
So I don't think anyone knows what Space X, Tesla or Musk will be doing in 2040-50. Neither does he - he's stated his goals and he's got a great track record. However, the next 5-10 years? Yeah - it's not even that difficult to predict. Immediate future? timelines slip. Five years? millions of cars per year, stock price >7x, probably FSD, Starlink fully operational, moon transits, probably a landing, Tesla Energy in full gear.
Great video and analysis! 2024, terawatt battery production is my prediction.
Terrific report with great data and detail.
Excellent detail in the video. Well done.
The Factory must grow!
I want a 4680-based Cybertruck
Well done - great video! You extracted some new, very interesting conclusions from these data on Giga Texas. I agree that Tesla may sandbag Giga Texas capabilities to avoid an Osborne effect on their Model Y sales. And that the talk about different battery chemistries and form factors may just be a smoke screen to hide the superiority of the Texas-produced Model Ys.
Giga Factory Texas is massive in size because they will be producing model y and the Cybertruck in that factory
No way! I don’t think I heard that in the video.
Great demonstration of analytical techniques, and asking proper questions an Investor who can afford not to loose, but has to wait while the obstacles and deliberate off site obstructions are dealt with. Two years after this assessment has justified 3. & Y products but left us wondering where in the expected 20 year progress measure of battery design the collective industry is at. Mixed results of course.
The general shift to EVs is probably going to choke down FUD and accelerate. Cybertruck sales are defying some expectations, price wise? If the Semi is directly related to cell development, maybe it's only halfway to the on road production target?
So new designs, if they repeat the step change of 3 to Y on a workin line, means the current August target is feasible, Elon time or no.., and the drop in employees is drastic, but those people would be great experienced contributors if hired by othe EV manufacturers, and a long-term gain to Electrification in general. This is a fraught subject particularly when UAW apparently choose confrontation over negotiating philosophies on what they think is best for Members. (We've seen that before)
Feedback mechanisms are so far reflecting the policies of conflict, apart from the IRA?, and are continuing the fuddite fundamental obstruction practices.
Add the statement,” You can see it from space.”.
I think Giga Texas will get to its full capacity by the end of 2022 / early 2023.
Nope. Giga Texas will be building toward full capacity for some time. It is slated to produce MY, CT, Semi and M2/M2 Hatchback (one or both). M2 won't be introduced until 2023 (as it requires Fulll saturation of 4680 cells across the product lines).
That said, the first 3 lines will definitely ramp in the timeframe that you suggest.
The buffet will be the most impressive.
I suspect delays at Giga Berlin will continue for a long time .......
It is moving forward, the German courts are tossing the claims out in a few days. They are not going to let it keep going. They have the go ahead to test the production and the cars. I believe it is going to be soon to final approval. Fingers crossed.
@@MyUniversalUniversity Tesla isn't having the same problems at Giga Texas which started after Berlin and will probably be selling Evs before them.
TBerlin was redesigned during construction a several times… What we have learned at the battery day will be comming to life at this factory.. Did you see the foundation of the new ‚warehouse‘?
Yep!! I for one am waiting to order my Model Y until I know it's built in Texas with with the one piece front and rear castings and structural battery pack....as well as the other changes that have now become common.
Excellent video.
Musk would not have had an issue if he built the Euro gigafactory just 100 miles east in Poland. It's where the workers are mainly coming from, and has perfect space for it.
Wonder how much Germany offered to bring the factory there.
Would Germans buy a polish built car or a German built car?
@@bigdougscommentary5719 they already buy many Polish built cars. Poland is already a manufacturing hub
With autonomy, the vehicle con self deliver. Or at minimum, the Tesla semi will deliver cars, then drive itself to the purchaser.
This comment 🤦🏼♂️
I ordered a Model Y (Dual Motor AWD LR) in mid-July. I'm in California, so I'm expecting it to come from the Fremont factory. But with news about Giga Texas and the 4680 batteries, not to mention the structural improvements and the possibility of more colors, I'm wondering if I've made a mistake by ordering too early. I could cancel my order, eating the $100 deposit, and start from scratch, as long as I can be assured I'll get the new batteries and the other improvements. I'd prefer to have the car sooner rather than later, but for such a large purchase, maybe I should wait. I'm in a quandary. Any suggestions?
I'm in the same pickle. My delivery date is Nov but with the upcoming improvements, I'm wondering if I should just wait. The word on the street is that the infrastructure bill is getting closer to passing and if it does, those credits might not last for another 2 years when I think realistically TX will be done and the 4680 batteries are on the market. Decision decisions.
@@Nessal83 Well, if it's a question of waiting two years for the 4680 batteries, there's no way I'd want to do that. I was speculating about whether the 4680s would be available by the end of this year. 😊 In any event, it sure would be nice to have that federal credit reinstated for Teslas!
@@cufflink44 the new batteries will not be out by end of the year. I believe they will first be used in TX and elon confirmed that TX will not be making any of the old batteries. So you can deduce that it's coming when TX is online.
@@Nessal83 Thanks. I guess I'll stick with my present order, since I want my Model Y before the end of the year.
I highly doubt the cyber truck will ever cost $40,000
Giga Texas vs Giga Berlin,
has begun !
Greatest question, is
who can first get past
all the "official" red-tape ?
WOW! Great job! Facts w/o fluff. Your now my Tesla source.
These guys are putting to practical use the term exponential !!
However what worries me now is Elon's health ! Last week he invited a youtuber to show him around Boca Chica, and it was obvious Elon was not well. He has been working himself to a mess and not been sleeping atall !!
Someone needs to tell him to take a break! The world needs him more than ever before and we need him alive and healthy and at his effecient best. The human species is at an existential tipping point and there is only like Elon - a thinker, futurist and a doer! A man who puts his own money where his vision is!
Best way at the moment to do that is throttle back sweets and carbs, while embracing fasting, fermented, and anti-inflammatory foods.
Elon's health, is far better than you fear !
Strongly expect more announcements, than ever before !
@@dirktween244 I seriously hope so. During his last interview at Boca Chica he did not seem to be fully fit. I understand he also has back issues, apart from lack of sleep

I suspect the reason Americans suffer from so many inflammatory diseases is because they are consuming partially hydrogenated oil -- trans-fats.
I'm waiting for castings at both ends, 4680 cells (After they've been proven on the road).
However, if other models get the same oversensitive "buttons" on the wheel that the Plaid has, I'll look elsewhere.

I have been following the EV Credits going through congress right now. It looks like Tesla will give a new buyer in 2022 a $8000.00 point of sale off your sticker price. So my order in for the 2022 Model Y with 4680 battery may be -$8000.00 less love that
If giga Nevada doesn't use all their space then Musk could use it to build the Boxabl homes;. After Musk buys Boxabl. There's not enough homes in Reno so the Boxabl employees could live onsite in Boxabl's. I just thought I could think outside the Box . . . . .abl.
I wonder when you going to start covering his factories with solar panel
They make their own panel, what’s the holdup? Doesn’t make sense
Whats happening at the Tilberg factory in the Netherlands, Holland?
Please say "Giga AUSTIN" -- not Giga Texas. You don't say "Giga Germany" do you? Austin is the capital of Texas just like Berlin is the capital of Germany. I live in Austin. We are proud and excited about the Tesla factory now being built here and want to promote that fact. Thanks.
It's been called Giga Texas by tesla, but Austin is an alternate name
Tera Texas sounds even better.

I think that Austin will bring out the first deliveries of cars.
The machine that builds the machine says it ALL! Legacy automotive has NO manufacturing concept of this and cannot make this leap. Proof? Do they have even ONE NEW "Mega/Giga-factory"? Nope.
Tesla has been involved in meetings with Chines manufacturer BYD (Build Your Dreams). BYD has developed their own battery technology called the Blade battery. This was released in March 2021.
I've got an upcoming video about this, which will be released in a few hours.
Great video. Looks like Tesla is preparing to wake up the sleeping giant.
Or! They are the giant!!!!!
It is almost impossible to get a Tesla powerwall. The wait time is over one year. I have been waiting over four months for a similar powerwall from LG for mf off the grid cabin. Hurry up and make those batteries!
Does anyone know why Giga Nevada has shown so little expansion? It's footprint is practically unchanged since all the talk of TWh output and Terafactory five years ago. Even the GWh output has only crept up YoY so it's not getting bigger on the inside! They've built entire Shanghai, Austin and Berlin factories in one year. Nevada seems to have been abandoned!
I would guess the available labor pool of talent willing to relocate there is a factor.
My understanding is they have two problems - not enough water, and not enough housing for workers. In other words, that location was probably not ideal for the size factory they envisioned.
@@SAC311420 I have friends in Sparks NV. It's perfectly fine. I think these workers (or the recruiters) need to check their sense of entitlement. I sure the latte emporiums will come if they build it.

The market is too small and not in the European Union. I doubt it.

They're called harbulary batteries!
Musk is Nikola Tesla reborn.
You forget one thing....the Model Y from Austin will cost more than those sold from Fremont. For sure the highest margin Model Ys will be coming out of Austin first. The Performance version, which will benefit most from the 4680 cell structured pack. So consumers looking for a lower cost Model Y will/should buy the Fremont built version.
I don't think it works that way. It is the same country, the MY is already ramping up in Frement, the US. Texas will just take care of the orders from Texas going up to Canada, and to the right to the Eastcoast. You're not going to be able to buy from Fremont if you live in Austin, Texas or NY, or Florida. It comes out of Texas. Tesla's website says that the Long Range is going to be delivered in December, the Performance is 6 to 8 weeks. The Texas factory is there to take care of the Middle and Eastcoast.
Truly fabulous information!! Well DONE!! Thanks for re-enforcing my investing strategy in the greatest company "OF ALL TIME"!! TESLA!! GIDDYUP!!
S&X demand will increase over time. Eventually freemont will only produce these models.
Saying Giga shanghai is fastest to build is a little misleading. It is way smaller! time scaled for size, Texas will crush it. It has 12x the land area so the future is awesome!
The trend is our friend. At the current pace 01-01-2027 will see Tesla command the heights. Tesla share holders with a long term view should not want share buy backs or a dividend paid before that date. This is a technology company which is on track to disrupt the market in ways never seen. The next 16 quarters are critical to Tesla's long-term health. New product's and expensive costs represent a great challenge for Tesla to achieve its stated mission. We bought into the mission. Let's stick to the game plan.
Are they putting solar cells on the roof. Where will the power come from Fossil Fuel?
I think its gonna double in size
HEOFF📈📈📈 LETS GOOO
wow such great work us humans create. we are creators of our life people, take care
Go big or go home 🚀 Tesla
The internal roads has been removed in the last factory's revision... So no workers will be killed by Semis... 😉
I don't know about that. Other than extreme vertical integration, how do you explain the lack of dock doors on the building? Especially when compared to Shanghai and Berlin. And how to explain why 2/3 of the dock doors on the west side of the building were sealed with concrete panels.
I have this question as well. Berlin has docks out the wazoo. Austin had only a few and then they decided they didn’t need half of them. It’s very curious.
@@haysdb
The only possible explanation is that trailers will be promptly emptied, and new trailers will replace them. That means a parking lot full of trailers in a queue to be brought to docks 24/7. Here is a good use for the Semi.
This is very interesting.
Maybe the semi's will be literally dropping the trailers at the point on the line the goods are needed.
If Tesla make the suppliers use the trailer as the outer box and pack it with minimal packaging (waste, dunnage, call it what you will), time and space will be saved. Less double handling of parts better use of space.
The roads could also be useful for access when upgrading large machinery.
Once you stop thinking like an old oem you can innovate.
I once went round the Foden truck factory in Cheshire it was much more automated than the Bedford truck factory in Luton. The workmanship there was visibly crap and as a haulier I felt I could do better from a standing start.
@@andrewsaint6581 What roads are you referring to?
I watched a video I'm real engineering and for them to start producing the semi trucks they're going to need like 67 GB factories just to do what they need to do because the battery production I feel like they're going to need to build that many because pretty soon the next four or five years the three big oems are going to be gone and so no one's going to be producing a lot of the vehicles we're going to need so like four GM and Dodge are not going to be around or they might get bailed out
God blessing to all peaple Amen
Why is Giga Berlin around 4 times more costly to build?
look at all them diesel trucks delivering parts for EVs
Yep, delivering parts for their own downfall.
I have something to say about Tesla cars. Are the bottoms of there cars protected against road salt. I know how it can affect the resale value of any car. 🤔👍😎
Yes, much more so than the typical car. Look up a picture of the bottom of a Tesla. They are flat and protected.
Except for the annoying adds great video
okay I think I see my ( white) bus by the wall ( could be a truck) I used to be the only bus in March 2016 as of right now Aug 2021, I am not the only bus here at Tesla ..I am also sitting right there , in my bus at the Giga Factory as I type this comment. I have stock in Tesla which is why the headline of this video caught my attention.
I just watched a video of the construction of the new Berlin Giga Plant. It was amazing to see such a mammoth complex. It is ironic that it is being constructed with diesel and gasoline equipment. This huge carbon injection into the Earth ecosystem will probably be ignored when calculating the Tesla vehicle’s environmental impact that roll off of the new assembly lines.
Turn on your brain for a moment. The factory construction is a ONE TIME cost to pollution. EVERY car factory has this in common and has already Cauthen environmental harm. BUT, once the EV car is produced, that’s the end of its pollution impact. ICE cars continue to pollute EVERY single mile they drive.
Wondering just how much the unit cost of a 4689 cell over the current batteries. There is not a lot more to the battery since the cost of doing the tabless likely saves a great deal on the actual manufacturing cost vs the tab style that requires soldering the tabs. Given the real output difference figure the cost is close to being awash but the range output is going to blow the other current batteries out of the water. I can see where the legacy makers of other vehicles are going to be super battery constrained so Tesla will be producing 2 million vehicles annually, while I would be surprised to see anything close to 100000 annually by all of the other car makers combined for the next few years
Better start building more power plants for all of these batteries.
Hm, took me 10 years but ok I finally figured it out - Elon is not human but a highly intelligent extraterrestrial alien sent to Earth to help us move in the right direction….. he is doing things so differently and on such a GIGA scale
Actually he played Factorio and that probably helped him realize what needed to be done.
That is the story of god basically. Humans meets advanced intelligences who taught us, but we confused their super science with magic.,
i've ordered the tri motor cybertruck & it would be SO great if the semi truck would have solar all over on the haul trailers as well with more batteries as well PLUS motors on the trail wheels too!! tell ELON i said so.. LOLhaha..
These solar panels are basically providing enough energy to handle the parasitic currents of the computer. I do not see that surface area as enough to add much range.
Lotta hype
With an intro of major arrest were kind of expecting, well news as such 😎 |
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Lol @ 08:00, poor tesla.... facing the risk that some people have delayed their orders to get a car from another factory. Arent the cars sold out already? Lets hope this risk materialized big time already .... and that there is some secret demand to tapp into once more vehicles are built 👍😂
No one is waiting for Texas to finish, the batteries don't make a difference to the consumer. There is huge demand in the US for the Model Y, and it is going to keep growing. The are delivering 6 to 8 weeks into the future because of the demand. 1.3 million Cybertruck on order, even if half of them go through. 2023 35k car will be the best selling model in the world be 2 ro 3 times. Check back in 2023 when Tesla is making 4 million cars worldwide. LOLOLOLOLOL
Why Tesla not completing giga Nevada ?
Giga Texas seems to be already designed to be a Tera factory. I think Tesla is bulding now only the first 10-20% OF THE WHOLE FACTORY. The rest will come in time after production starts.
I thought that as well, but the factory is going to be used for 3 levels of production. The stories are up to 25 feet tall. We will see.Elon just shared this.
Wow, the old one month free but give me your payment info so we can charge you as soon as you forget to cancel.
