It is said that following the Texas plant, Tesla’s Berlin plant also reached the milestone of producing 3,000 vehicles per week, but it was later than the original plan.
According to reports in April this year, the shutdown of Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory ended, with a weekly production of 350 Model Ys. Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory had planned to increase production by 200% from October 2022. As for the new goal of Tesla’s Nevada Gigafactory: Megapack energy storage battery production Q3 increased by 85% from the previous quarter. The secret of Tesla's self-produced batteries is actually: low-key layout for 5 years, crushing peers with cost.
I In 2021, it is reported that Tesla and LG Energy Solutions will start negotiations on the construction and production of 4680 battery factories.
In October this year, Tesla will reduce the cost of self-developed lithium batteries, and plans to manufacture lithium batteries around the clock in San Francisco.
II Recently, Tesla is building a pilot battery production line in Fremont and designing its own battery production equipment.
III Recently, there has even been news that Musk will step down as CEO of Twitter. Is this closely related to the frequent reduction of Tesla holdings during the year? Shareholders said: Musk abandoned Tesla; hope he "leaves get out of class". Twitter polls have also kept Musk out of office, but Tesla investors are clearly looking forward to it. All of this is inseparable from the fact that the company's market value has evaporated by 5.5 trillion yuan during the year.
IV On the other hand, two Tesla employees have been fired for complaining and criticizing Musk's tweets and company policies. In this incident, Tesla was accused of illegally firing employees who criticized Musk. Last month, Twitter programmers were also unfortunately fired when Twitter publicly pointed out that Musk's tweets were wrong. Many companies are also very worried about Musk taking over Twitter, so they have suspended advertising.
V Recently, a well-known brokerage firm downgraded Tesla's stock rating, and Tesla's stock price fell to a new low since November 2020.
But fortunately, there are related reports that Tesla will announce the construction of a super factory in northern Mexico as early as Friday, with a total investment of US$10 billion.
The plant is the fifth auto manufacturing super factory in the world. Tesla has already picked a site near Monterrey, Mexico, on the Mexican border, near the plants of Kia and General Motors. Mexico has become a new hot spot for global auto companies! Musk met with Mexican government officials in October on the matter.
The doubling of Model Y output at Tesla’s German factory this time is also inseparable from Tesla’s plan to increase capital expenditures by US$1 billion.
