Tesla needs a new Shanghai factory

What's the last character? Can anyone tell?

Why?

2 is twice as better as one

"Giga Shanghai operates a 95% automated production line, enabling a cycle time of less than 40 seconds! From taking 2.5 years for the first million cars to be produced, the second million was done in just 12 months " Total cars produced in Shanghai is 2 million.

Not if you don't need to produce that many cars.

I lucked out with a Shanghai build, a long with many other Canadians before the Chinese EV tarrifs came into effect as of Oct. 1st.

95% capacity article mentions i believe

Do you think Tesla needs to be producing more cars right now?

No, it says 95% automated, not that they are using 95% of their capacity. Tesla says they still have excess capacity, from the last quarterly update letter: > Plans for new vehicles, including more affordable models, remain on track for start of production in the first half of 2025. These vehicles will utilize aspects of the next generation platform as well as aspects of our current platforms and will be able to be produced on the same manufacturing lines as our current vehicle line-up. > This approach will result in achieving less cost reduction than previously expected but enables us to prudently grow our vehicle volumes in a more capex efficient manner during uncertain times. **This should help us fully utilize our current expected maximum capacity of close to three million vehicles, enabling more than 50% growth over 2023 production before investing in new manufacturing lines.** https://digitalassets.tesla.com/tesla-contents/image/upload/IR/TSLA-Q2-2024-Update.pdf

The orange (Putins puppet ) mans buddy is going to teach him how to cut costs by moving our manufacturing to Chiner then charging us a 10% tax to buy it. GENIOUS!!

LOL. yea right think he would admit The orange man is his puppet?

weird, they ship from CN instead of the US?

Impressive

Yeah logistically it doesn't make sense lol. But most likely it was due to allocate all US builds to maximize customers to receive the federal tax credit. But that's all changed since both US and Canada have implemented Chinese EV tarrifs.

Agreed!

so awesome!
