Tesla, the world’s largest electrical automotive producer, revealed that its potential annual manufacturing output barely elevated, and as of the top of Q2, it stands at greater than 2,025,000 items (25,000 greater than on the finish of Q1).

The change is related to the Giga Berlin plant, the place the capability is estimated at 375,000 (in comparison with 350,000 beforehand). The estimated capability in different factories stays on the similar stage as three months in the past.

It is value noting that Tesla‘s manufacturing in Q2 reached a brand new file of 479,700 (up 86 % year-over-year), which if repeated 4 occasions, can be greater than 1.9 million a yr.

It is anticipated that in 2023, Tesla will ship round 1.8 million automobiles. In the meantime, Tesla’s cumulative manufacturing exceeded 4.5 million items.

In accordance with Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk, throughout the third quarter, manufacturing may decelerate barely, as a result of some factories will probably be upgraded.

On this put up, we’ll stroll by Tesla’s EV manufacturing vegetation to see what’s new at every of the websites and what the progress is like because it pertains to the Tesla Semi Class 8 all-electric truck and the Tesla Cybertruck pickup.

Tesla’s Fremont manufacturing facility has the potential to supply as much as 550,000 Mannequin 3/Mannequin Y a yr, and as much as 100,000 refreshed Mannequin S/Mannequin X. There is no such thing as a change in comparison with Q1.

In April 2023, there was a report that the corporate is constructing a brand new battery pack meeting line on the website. We do not know the main points.

Tesla’s first gigafactory is a lithium-ion battery cell plant, which makes 2170-type cylindrical battery cells in partnership with Panasonic, in addition to different merchandise (drive items, energy electronics, vitality storage techniques, and elements). In June we heard that Panasonic intends to extend manufacturing on the website by about 10 %.

In early 2023, Tesla formally introduced a $3.6 billion funding on the website to additionally produce the all-new 4680-type cylindrical battery cells (100 GWh per yr with a possible for extra) and Tesla Semi electrical vehicles (probably roughly 50,000 Tesla Semi per yr).

The Tesla Semi’s standing is “Pilot manufacturing” (no change right here), described additionally as restricted manufacturing by Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk. The earlier standing was “Early manufacturing” within the Q3 2022 monetary report and “In growth” within the Q2 2022 monetary report.

Up to now, the corporate most likely delivered a two-digit variety of Tesla Semis.

The Tesla Giga Shanghai plant has the potential to supply over 750,000 Mannequin 3/Mannequin Y per yr (no change right here). The plant stays the corporate’s export hub.

“Since our Shanghai manufacturing facility has been efficiently operating close to full capability for a number of months, we don’t anticipate a significant enhance in weekly manufacturing run price. Gigafactory Shanghai stays our major export hub.”

Tesla Giga Berlin in Grünheide close to Berlin, Germany produces the Tesla Mannequin Y (powered by 2170-type cylindrical battery cells) since March 2022, and in Q2, began manufacturing of the Commonplace Vary model.

In March, the corporate introduced that the manufacturing price reached 5,000 Tesla Mannequin Y items per week. The capability is now estimated at 375,000 yearly (in comparison with over 350,000 beforehand).

“Our manufacturing facility in Germany produced normal vary Mannequin Y automobiles in Q2 for the primary time. Constructing off momentum from its success in Q1, Mannequin Y was the best-selling automobile of any variety in Europe year-to-date (primarily based on the newest obtainable information as of Might).”

In some unspecified time in the future sooner or later, the corporate intends to start out manufacturing of a brand new model powered by 4680-type cylindrical battery cells.

Tesla Giga Texas in Austin began manufacturing of the Tesla Mannequin Y in April 2022. This model of the Mannequin Y is supplied with 4680-type cylindrical cells and a structural battery pack.

Nevertheless, as a result of the provision of 4680-type cells was restricted, the plant later began manufacturing of the “legacy” model with 2170-type batteries and non-structural batteries.

In accordance with the corporate, in Might 2023, the plant achieved a manufacturing price of 5,000 Mannequin Y (all variations) per week.

In December 2022, the provision of 4680-type cylindrical battery cells elevated to 1 million items per week, which is sufficient for greater than 1,000 electrical vehicles (a 3rd of the plant’s manufacturing). In June 2023, Tesla revealed that the ten millionth 4680-type battery cell was produced on the Giga Texas website (on prime of Tesla’s Kato Street pilot facility in Fremont, California).

“We’ve got made notable progress on yield enchancment of our 4680 cell manufacturing strains. We proceed constructing capability for cathode manufacturing and lithium refining within the U.S.”

The manufacturing facility is now making ready to start out manufacturing of the Tesla Cybertruck pickup.

“At Gigafactory Texas, along with the continued success of the Mannequin Y ramp, we’re additionally engaged on tools set up for Cybertruck manufacturing, which stays on monitor for preliminary deliveries this yr.”

The Tesla Cybertruck will enter manufacturing in Texas in mid-2023. In July, we noticed the primary RC (launch candidate) unit constructed on the website. The Tesla Cybertruck’s present standing is “Tooling.” Quantity manufacturing is predicted no sooner than 2024.

In March 2023, Tesla introduced that its sixth gigafactory plant will probably be inbuilt Santa Catarina municipality close to Monterrey (Nuevo Leon), Mexico.

The plant will probably be used for next-generation electrical automobiles – probably a mass market, inexpensive electrical automotive, with annual manufacturing counted within the tens of millions per yr.

Car manufacturing may probably begin in 2025.
