Tesla, the world’s largest electrical automobile producer, has a possible annual output to supply roughly 2 million electrical autos yearly.
Contemplating that in This autumn, the corporate produced and bought greater than 400,000 models, we will assume that the crops are already working at over 1.6 million models per yr, with a goal to attain 1.8 million gross sales in 2023.
On this submit, we’ll stroll via Tesla‘s EV manufacturing crops to see what’s new at every of the websites and what’s the progress associated to the Tesla Semi Class 8 all-electric truck and the Tesla Cybertruck pickup.
Tesla’s Fremont manufacturing unit has the potential to supply as much as 550,000 Mannequin 3/Mannequin Y a yr, plus as much as 100,000 refreshed Mannequin S/Mannequin X.
In keeping with Tesla, every of its EV factories produced a report variety of autos in 2022, so additionally Fremont is working at its peak.

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 models, energy electronics, vitality storage methods, and components).
Earlier this month, Tesla formally introduced a $3.6 billion funding on the website to supply additionally the all-new 4680-type cylindrical battery cells (100 GWh per yr with a possible for extra) and Tesla Semi electrical vans (probably roughly 50,000 Tesla Semi per yr).
The Tesla Semi’s standing is presently “Pilot manufacturing,” 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 improvement” within the Q2 2022 monetary report.

The Tesla Giga Shanghai plant has the potential to supply over 750,000 Mannequin 3/Mannequin Y per yr. The plant stays the corporate’s export hub.
“Since our Shanghai manufacturing unit has been efficiently working close to full capability for a number of months, we don’t count on significant sequential quantity will increase within the close to time period. Gigafactory Shanghai stays out foremost export hub, supplying autos to most markets outdoors of North America.”

Tesla Giga Berlin in Grünheide close to Berlin, Germany produces the Tesla Mannequin Y (powered by 2170-type cylindrical battery cells) since March 2022.
In December, the corporate introduced that 3,000 Tesla Mannequin Y had been produced in a single week for the very first time. The capability is estimated at over 250,000 yearly.
Sooner or later sooner or later, the corporate intends to start out manufacturing of a brand new model powered by 4680-type cylindrical battery cells. In the meantime, clients can choose new premium paint colours:
“We additionally launched two new multi-layer paint colours from our superior paint store at our Berlin manufacturing unit – Quicksilver and Midnight Cherry Purple.”

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.
Nonetheless, as a result of the availability of 4680-type cells is restricted, the plant later began manufacturing of the “legacy” model with 2170-type batteries and non-structural batteries.
In keeping with the corporate, the plant just lately produced 3,000 Mannequin Y (all variations) in a single week. In the meantime, the availability of 4680-type cylindrical battery cells elevated to 1 million models per week, which is sufficient for greater than 1,000 electrical automobiles (a 3rd of the plant’s manufacturing).
It is vital to notice that the 4680-type cylindrical battery cells are produced now additionally regionally at Giga Texas (on high of Tesla’s Kato Highway pilot facility in Fremont, California). Sadly, we do not know the manufacturing charge.
In mid-2023, the Giga Texas plant will begin manufacturing of the Tesla Cybertruck all-electric pickup (present standing “Tooling”), though Tesla says that we’ve got to attend till 2024 for quantity manufacturing.
