Tesla, the world’s largest electrical automobile producer, formally confirmed that its potential annual output elevated to greater than 2 million electrical automobiles yearly (up 100,000 in comparison with the earlier quarter).
Through the first quarter of 2023, the corporate produced a document variety of 440,808 electrical automobiles (up 44 % year-over-year) and bought a document variety of 422,875 electrical automobiles (up 36 % year-over-year). It is anticipated that in 2023, Tesla will ship round 1.8 million automobiles. Tesla’s cumulative manufacturing exceeded 4 million models in March 2023.
On this publish, we are going to stroll by way of Tesla‘s EV manufacturing vegetation to see what’s new at every of the websites and what the progress is expounded to the Tesla Semi Class 8 all-electric truck and the Tesla Cybertruck pickup.
Tesla’s Fremont manufacturing facility has the potential to provide as much as 550,000 Mannequin 3/Mannequin Y a yr, and as much as 100,000 refreshed Mannequin S/Mannequin X.
In line with Tesla, every of its EV factories produced a document variety of automobiles in 2022, so additionally Fremont is operating at its peak.
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 but.

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, power storage techniques, and elements).
In early 2023, Tesla formally introduced a $3.6 billion funding on the website to provide additionally 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 at the moment “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.
Up to now, the corporate in all probability delivered a two-digit variety of Tesla Semi.

The Tesla Giga Shanghai plant has the potential to provide 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 count on significant improve of weekly manufacturing run price. We launched gross sales in Thailand, a brand new market provided out of Shanghai. So far, the reception has been very optimistic. Giga Shanghai stays our foremost 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.
In March, the corporate introduced that the manufacturing price reached 5,000 Tesla Mannequin Y models per week. The capability is now estimated at over 350,000 yearly (in comparison with 250,000 beforehand). Because of this the whole capability of all automobiles is now above 2 million models per yr.
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 provided with 4680-type cylindrical cells and a structural battery pack.
Nevertheless, 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 line with the corporate, the plant just lately produced 4,000 Mannequin Y (all variations) in a single week.
In December 2022, 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). Tesla famous this month that the manufacturing price of the 4680-type battery cells continued to enhance sequentially in Q1 2023, with out offering particulars.
It is necessary to notice that the 4680-type cylindrical battery cells are produced now additionally domestically at Giga Texas (on high of Tesla’s Kato Street pilot facility in Fremont, California).

The Tesla Cybertruck to enter manufacturing in Texas in mid-2023. Its present standing is “Tooling”, as the corporate is producing Alpha variations for take a look at functions. In line with the most recent replace, the manufacturing line for sequence manufacturing is beneath development.
“Tools set up for Cybertruck manufacturing at Gigafactory Texas continued in Q1 and stays on monitor.”
Quantity manufacturing is predicted no sooner than 2024.

In March 2023, Tesla introduced that its sixth gigafactory plant might be in-built Santa Catarina municipality close to Monterrey (Nuevo Leon), Mexico.
The plant might be used for next-generation electrical automobiles – probably a mass market, inexpensive electrical automobile, with annual manufacturing counted within the hundreds of thousands per yr.
