Show transcript Transcript Search in video Intro 0:00 you've likely heard the name Tesla at 0:01 this point maybe you think these are the 0:03 coolest cars ever to exist maybe you 0:05 think they're ridiculous but one thing 0:07 many are unaware of is Tesla's 0:08 manufacturing process when it comes to 0:11 manufacturing Tesla is at The Cutting 0:12 Edge always experimenting with new 0:14 technologies experimentation is one 0:16 thing but bringing new Manufacturing 0:18 tech to scale is what truly makes a 0:20 difference electric cars by their very 0:22 nature are more expensive to 0:24 manufacturer largely due to their 0:25 battery packs so Tesla doesn't 0:27 experiment for experimentation sake they 0:30 get down to core principles on 0:31 everything to see how their cars can be 0:33 made for Less this is paid off in a 0:35 major way and is the primary driver for 0:37 Tesla being one of the only companies 0:39 that actually makes a profit on their EV 0:41 sales as a matter of fact Tesla has been 0:43 changing the way cars are made since the 0:45 launch of the original model S in 2012 0:48 one of Tesla's latest Innovations which 0:50 we'll cover in this video is one that 0:51 companies are particularly Keen to 0:53 implement themselves and that's their 0:54 large Mega casting used for cars like 0:56 the model y all of this has led Tesla to 0:59 their current manufactur capacity which 1:01 massively outpaces their competitors 1:02 when it comes to EVS in fact Tesla 1:04 produces a new car every 13 seconds 1:07 today we're going to walk through how 1:08 this is possible and how Tesla could 1:10 improve this even more in the future so 1:12 let's get into 1:12 [Music] 1:16 it when looking at a company like Tesla Manufacturing 1:19 you may see Battery Tech or software as 1:21 their true long-term Advantage but 1:22 according to CEO Elon Musk back in 2020 1:25 quote Tesla's long-term competitive 1:27 Advantage will be manufacturing it's 1:29 great to be able ble to make a prototype 1:31 of a car but scaling that up in a 1:33 cost-effective manner is what truly 1:34 makes EVS profitable Tesla has a lot of 1:37 innovation there quote the factory 1:39 system already has more software than 1:40 the car and will probably have an order 1:43 of magnitude more long term Tesla's 1:45 manufacturing website details their 1:47 70,000 plus global Workforce across 1:49 three continents but they started out 1:51 with only one Factory in Fremont 1:53 California today this is still one of 1:55 their most productive factories after 1:57 purchasing this Factory in 2010 from a 1:59 previous joint Adventure between GM and 2:01 Toyota Tesla rolled the first Model S 2:03 out of it in 2012 right from the get-go 2:05 Tesla was innovating the manufacturing 2:07 process at the time the model S was 2:09 significantly different than any other 2:11 car being produced at any sort of scale 2:13 so Tesla automatically had to bring 2:15 things in house this brings the vertical 2:17 integration benefit long term but they 2:19 also were somewhat forced into it with 2:21 certain processes the original model S Model S Manufacturing 2:23 had its battery cells supplied by 2:25 Panasonic and then Tesla assembled those 2:27 into battery packs at their Factory from 2:29 there comes the manufacturing process 2:31 that Tesla was working with around 11 2:33 years ago so this has already changed 2:35 quite a bit first Tesla would start with 2:37 raw materials cut blanks and feed those 2:39 to press lines gigantic dyes would stamp 2:42 panels and they had a rate of one panel 2:44 stamped every 6 seconds those parts 2:47 would then make their way to the body 2:48 shop where the underbody and sides are 2:50 put together using five different 2:52 joining methods and that full body would 2:54 then head to the paint shop there it 2:56 would go through all pre-treatment 2:58 primer base coats and paint all from 3:00 robots then came General Assembly robots 3:03 moved these bodies around the factory on 3:05 magnetic strips and the car was 3:07 assembled From the Inside Out robots 3:09 placed seats glue on windshields and 3:11 more at the time Tesla was building a 3:13 Model S from raw material to completion 3:15 every 3 to 5 days so how have we now 3:17 gotten as low as 13 seconds in 2017 Model 3 Manufacturing 3:20 Tesla shipped the first model 3 this 3:22 vehicle was highly anticipated due to 3:24 its lower cost and it did end up 3:26 changing the Eevee landscape but not 3:28 without massive challenge for the model 3:30 3 Tesla attempted to innovate a lot but 3:32 ultimately found it to be too much at 3:33 the time quote we had this crazy complex 3:36 network of conveyor belts and it was not 3:38 working so we got rid of the whole thing 3:40 around this time is where Elon musk's 3:42 algorithm became more commonplace at 3:44 Tesla this is detailed in Walter 3:46 isaacson's biography of Elon Musk but 3:48 essentially involves Five Steps step one 3:51 question every requirement step two 3:52 delete any part or process you can step 3:55 three simplify and optimize step four 3:57 accelerate cycle time and five automate 4:01 this step coming last is ultimately what 4:02 they learned the hard way at Fremont 4:04 around this time Tesla partnered with 4:06 Panasonic to build quote the highest 4:08 volume battery plant in the world there 4:10 they started building stationary storage 4:12 batteries along with model 3 batteries 4:13 and Motors then came the tents in 2018 4:16 to help with production capacity Tesla 4:19 debuted the tent this is more permanent 4:21 than an actual tent but far from a 4:23 typical Factory structure but it helped 4:25 test the ramp up production on the model 4:26 3 and ultimately led to the unveil of 4:28 the model y first though Tesla expanded 4:30 to their second vehicle Factory at this 4:32 point they had Fremont making the model 4:34 SX and 3 and Nevada making batteries and 4:36 Motors overseas though they built Giga 4:39 Shanghai this Factory remains one of 4:41 Tesla's most impressive Feats because 4:43 they broke ground there on January 7th 4:45 2019 and produce cars quickly at the 4:47 groundbreaking ceremony Elon Musk said 4:49 quote this will be the most advanced 4:51 Tesla gigafactory with resources here we 4:54 are able to build this Factory in record 4:55 time and we are hoping to have initial 4:57 production of Tesla Model 3 toward the 4:59 end of the year and volume production 5:01 next year when Elon gives a timeline we 5:03 typically add some time to it but here 5:05 Tesla rolled the first chinese-made 5:07 model 3 off the assembly line by 5:08 November of the same year they ramped 5:11 quickly and today Giga Shanghai holds 5:12 the title of Tesla's most productive 5:14 Factory nearing an annual capacity of 1 5:16 million cars in general Tesla is 5:18 following the same basic process as 5:20 Model S production but doing it with 5:22 more advanced automation Cloud systems 5:24 cost reduction localized Supply and more 5:27 Tesla staff said at the time that quote 5:29 you can barely see any staff on the 5:30 production line almost all of the steps 5:32 in the production process are completed 5:34 using Advanced robotics all connected to 5:36 one cloud system pretty quickly it was 5:39 clear Tesla made a ton of improvements 5:40 in manufacturing when building Giga 5:42 Shanghai and they had the advantage of 5:44 Designing that Factory from the ground 5:46 up instead of taking over an existing 5:48 one like they did at Fremont this very 5:50 much influenced their future factories Model Y Manufacturing 5:52 today the model Y is Tesla's bestselling 5:54 vehicle and ultimately this car is what 5:56 has gotten them to their current rate of 5:58 a new car every 13 seconds 6:00 they manufacture this car in two 6:01 distinct ways today and as always Tesla 6:03 is constantly working to simplify and 6:05 bring down cost the first factory to 6:08 produce the model y was Fremont in March 6:10 of 2020 the first model Ys were 6:12 delivered to customers in general this 6:13 car was fairly similar to the model 3 6:15 from the outside and even inside it just 6:18 looks like a bigger model 3 but under 6:20 the surface is where things get really 6:22 interesting this is where some big Tesla 6:24 innovation has brought down cost 6:26 improved production capacity and scared 6:28 competitors over time with the model y 6:30 Tesla began utilizing the Giga press 6:32 this idea somewhat originated from Elon 6:34 Musk looking at a toy model S one day 6:37 according to Walter isaacson's biography 6:38 of Elon quote it looked like a 6:40 miniaturized copy of the real car and 6:42 when he took it apart he saw that it 6:44 even had a suspension inside but the 6:46 entire underbody of the car had been 6:48 diecast as one piece of metal at a 6:50 meeting of his team that day mus pulled 6:52 out the toy and put it on the white 6:53 conference room tablee why can't we do 6:56 that he asked after push back Elon 6:58 simply said ask for a bigger casting 7:00 machine it's not as if that would break 7:02 the laws of physics Tesla finally found 7:04 the company idra from Italy to partner 7:06 with and take on this challenge the goal 7:08 was that a single cast could CH out the 7:10 entire rear and front underbodies of the 7:12 model y here quote the machines inject 7:15 bursts of molten aluminum into a cold 7:17 casting mold which can spit out in just 7:19 80 Seconds an entire chassis that used 7:22 to contain more than 100 parts that had 7:24 to be welded riveted or bonded together 7:27 Tesla has specifically outlined 7:28 Simplicity here with with very clear 7:30 Graphics the model 3 rear underbody used 7:32 to be 70 pieces in the model y they have 7:34 it down to two and plan to make it a 7:36 single piece today they utilize this at 7:38 all of their factories but Giga Texas 7:40 was built specifically with Technologies 7:42 like these in mind so the entire Structural Battery Pack 7:44 underbody of the model y has essentially 7:46 been simplified to three pieces front 7:48 casting rear casting and battery pack 7:50 this advancement is something that is 7:51 seen on the model y as a whole today but 7:53 we've actually seen another iteration of 7:55 this come with Tesla's 4680 model y that 7:58 utilizes a structural battery pack and 8:00 further simplifies assembly Monroe and 8:02 Associates Automotive manufacturing 8:04 experts disassembled this model Y and 8:06 demonstrated how the structural battery 8:08 takes Tesla's Simplicity to another 8:10 level the seats and interior are 8:12 connected directly to the top of the 8:13 battery pack meaning that General 8:15 Assembly gets that much easier 8:17 advancements like these are huge ways 8:19 that Tesla saves on cost with their cars 8:21 but also speeds up production time to 8:22 get down to where they are today 8:24 producing a car every 13 seconds but 8:26 technically Tesla doesn't actually do 8:28 this pack strategy on the model y 8:30 anymore it will likely return when they 8:31 reintroduced the 4680 cell model y but 8:34 the cybertruck is Tesla's latest car 8:36 with their latest Innovations before we Tesla Production 8:38 get to Tesla's latest car though how do 8:40 we get down to Tesla producing a car 8:42 every 13 seconds well it's fairly simple 8:44 we're not talking about a crazy fast 8:46 manufacturing process where Tesla is 8:48 literally rolling a model y from start 8:50 to finish off of a single assembly line 8:52 in 13 seconds what they are doing though 8:54 is producing cars in such high 8:56 quantities between multiple factories 8:58 with multiple assembly lines that the 9:00 average is a new car produced every 13 9:03 seconds by Tesla a giga Shanghai by 9:05 itself actually Tesla recently raised 9:07 its production capacity to over 950,000 9:10 thanks to a production process that is 9:12 now 95% automated reports are saying 9:14 that Tesla produces a model y out of 9:16 that factory every 30 seconds this is 9:19 for that car alone at one single Tesla 9:22 Factory so let's look at Tesla's entire 9:24 production capacity in California Tesla 9:26 makes four cars they produce 100,000 9:29 model s and X Vehicles annually along 9:31 with over 550,000 model 3s and y's in 9:34 Shanghai they can make over 950,000 9:36 model threes and wise annually in Berlin 9:39 they can make over 375,000 model wise 9:42 and lastly in Giga Texas Tesla can make 9:44 over 250,000 model wise and can make 9:47 over 125,000 cyber trucks a year adding 9:50 all of these numbers up going forward 9:52 Tesla is capable of producing 2, 350,000 9:55 electric vehicles each year compared to 9:58 some other brands this may not sound all 9:59 that impressive but these are 10:01 exclusively electric vehicles all 10:03 requiring large battery packs so this is 10:05 an incredible feat in any case there are 10:08 31,35 6,000 seconds in a year divide 10:11 that by Tesla's annual current 10:13 production capacity and Tesla is 10:14 producing a car every 10:28 13.41% made at an incredible Pace as 10:30 well for Batteries Tesla uses a mix of 10:33 suppliers and their own batteries but 10:35 for Motors they are entirely made in 10:36 house at the end of July Tesla posted a 10:39 huge milestone there they said quote 10:41 produced our 10 millionth Drive Unit 10:43 across all our factories Elon Musk 10:45 responded to say congrats to the Tesla 10:47 drivetrain team but then Tesla 10:48 manufacturing further explained this in 10:50 seconds quote every 5 Seconds we welcome 10:52 a new Drive Unit into the world their 10:55 math seems to be taking uptime into 10:57 account but this also does make a lot of 10:59 sense sense a new car every 133 seconds 11:01 with many of those cars requiring two 11:03 Motors that Tesla when production is 11:05 rolling on Motors makes every 5 Seconds 11:07 the cybertruck model snx also have a 11:10 trim that used three motors Elon further 11:12 expanded here saying one day Tesla will 11:14 make a drivetrain per second in a future 11:17 envisioned by Tesla even without human 11:19 drivers Motors will always be required 11:21 and this would essentially multiply 11:23 Tesla's current manufacturing rate by 11:24 five producing well over 10 million 11:26 Vehicles each year that's a lot of cars 11:28 so how will Tesla achieve this will they 11:31 simply build five times the 11:32 manufacturing capacity or will they 11:34 achieve this with future manufacturing 11:36 advances the ladder seems to be much 11:38 more in play here especially in the Cybertruck 11:40 immediate future for the cybertruck 11:41 Tesla designed it from the ground up 11:43 with Manufacturing in mind and they have 11:45 implemented some of their most 11:46 impressive technology on it first is 11:48 that structural pack we just talked 11:50 about with the model y the cybertruck 11:52 seats are attached right to the 11:53 cybertruck battery pack simplifying 11:55 assembly then this features the largest 11:57 castings ever done on a vehic vehicle 11:59 the cybertruck utilizes a 9,000 T Giga 12:02 press from idra it's a massive machine 12:04 but it CHS out huge castings that 12:06 simplify the Cyber trucks production 12:08 just like the model y did this is 12:09 actually Tesla's latest most advanced 12:12 vehicle and Tesla gave everyone a tour 12:14 of the production line at their event we 12:15 can see disassembled cybertruck pieces 12:17 on display here but on the assembly line 12:20 itself is where we have tons of robotss 12:22 here's one demonstrating adhesive 12:24 application and another demonstrating 12:26 vertical lifts right here is a robot 12:28 they've been using for for a while now 12:29 but a version specifically for the Cyber 12:31 truck's giant windshield we can see it 12:33 flip around get adhesive applied and 12:35 then put the glass onto the Cyber Tru 12:38 it's incredibly impressive to see and 12:39 it's what has surprisingly to many made 12:41 the cybertruck ramp up production so 12:43 quickly an annual production capacity of 12:45 125,000 is incredibly impressive for 12:48 this car and even if Tesla isn't there 12:49 today they are on their way the 12:51 cybertruck was already the bestselling 12:53 electric truck in America for Q2 but 12:55 churning out cars that lose money 12:57 doesn't matter much in the long run at 12:58 the end of the day unless e can be 13:00 scaled profitably they won't last for 13:02 the cybertrucks competitors like the 13:04 F-150 Lightning they're still losing 13:06 tons of money in fact for each EV Ford 13:08 sold in q1 of this year including their 13:10 whole lineup of EVS they lost about 13:13 $132,000 rivian for Q2 lost about $ 13:17 32,7 per vehicle delivered that's 13:20 actually a huge improvement over 13:21 previous quarters but it shows how 13:23 difficult this project is Tesla's 13:25 Innovation is a big reason why even 13:26 though the cybertruck is by far the most 13:28 recent release of all these cars they 13:30 may get it profitable first in Tesla's 13:32 most recent shareholder deck they said 13:34 cybertruck production more than tripled 13:36 sequentially and remains on track to 13:38 achieve profitability by end of year 13:40 like it or not Tesla is the best company 13:42 in the world at making electric vehicles 13:44 profitable and other automakers are 13:46 starting to take note back in 2023 13:48 Rogers reported that Toyota planned to 13:50 adopt Tesla's Giga casting technology to 13:52 improve performance and lower the cost 13:54 of their future EVS when it comes to 13:56 savings like this it can be hard to 13:58 quantify but Reuters says quote for 14:00 Tesla the use of a single component in 14:02 the rear of the model y its best-selling 14:04 model allowed it to cut related costs by 14:07 40% 40% is a massive Improvement in cost 14:10 especially when it comes to the core 14:12 structure of a vehicle but this savings 14:14 comes in multiple forms from that piece 14:16 itself but also the elimination of tons 14:18 of manufacturing equipment step two of 14:20 that Tesla algorithm is to delete any 14:22 part or process that you can and with 14:23 that Giga press quote Tesla was able to 14:25 remove 600 robots from assembly the 14:28 cybertruck is the latest vehicle to 14:29 utilize this taking it to the next level 14:31 beyond the model Y and on top of Toyota 14:34 we're seeing GM Hyundai and Volvo 14:36 working on this technology while many 14:38 automakers are working on adopting this 14:40 Mega casting technology which multiple 14:42 suppliers are making machines for at 14:44 this point Tesla is never standing still 14:46 remember that vision of a single stamped 14:48 underbody for a Tesla vehicle well Tesla 14:50 still wants to get there Tesla's 14:52 upcoming small vehical platform was 14:53 supposed to be the first time that Tesla 14:55 would do the entire underbody in a 14:57 single piece quote the long longterm 14:59 goal was to radically simplify 15:01 manufacturing and slash costs this was 15:03 their goal here but things have shifted 15:05 around a bit for that project now it 15:07 seems that going all the way for a 15:08 single underbody proved too difficult at 15:10 least for now they're sticking with the 15:12 underbody comprising three pieces for 15:13 now but the major reason for this 15:15 retreat has to do with short-term 15:17 expenditure Tesla needs to get a more 15:19 affordable vehicle out next year and 15:20 they now plan to do this with a mix of 15:22 their new and old platform this will Groundup Manufacturing 15:24 allow them to build this car in existing 15:26 assembly lines but by no means will we 15:28 never see this techn ology come to be in 15:30 fact Tesla has a lot planned here so far 15:32 we've mainly talked about Tesla 15:34 improving aspects of what is a fairly 15:35 Standard General Assembly process but 15:38 soon they plan to revolutionize that 15:40 process entirely in March of 2023 Tesla 15:43 held their investor Day event they 15:44 detailed a lot of things at that event 15:46 all of which relate to cost cutting but 15:48 the first thing they detailed was their 15:49 new groundup manufacturing process 15:52 traditionally a vehicle goes through 15:53 these various steps this is a process 15:56 that has been largely unchanged in 100 15:58 years and if there is a problem anywhere 16:00 along this line it ties up the whole 16:02 Factory Tesla's head of vehicle 16:03 engineering Lars moravy even called this 16:05 process silly when showing an 16:07 illustration of how it all works you 16:09 take stamped panels put them together 16:12 put them in a framing station build a 16:14 body put the doors on paint them take 16:16 the doors off assemble the interior 16:18 through openings in the car lift the car 16:21 up put the battery underneath put the 16:23 seats in seal it with glass and then 16:25 reattach the doors it's a very complex 16:28 process but as as of right now it's the 16:29 best we can get Tesla has made 16:31 improvements like we've talked about 16:33 throughout this video but their unboxing 16:35 process will allow more people or robots 16:37 to work on the car at the same time by 16:39 splitting each process up this allows 16:41 for better operator density and improves 16:44 quote SpaceTime efficiency without 16:46 entering in and out of the car it's far 16:48 easier to automate in practice this will 16:50 lead to parallel and serial assembly 16:53 with a much smaller final assembly line 16:55 Tesla will assemble the parts of the car 16:57 entirely on their own 16:59 here we can see the full interior being 17:01 assembled the doors complete the front 17:03 and rear castings complete with drive 17:05 units and more they paint what needs to 17:07 be painted early on and it's far easier 17:10 for many different robots to work on 17:12 this car simultaneously quote we aren't 17:14 moving heavy objects around and doing 17:16 nothing to it and it means we're doing 17:18 more work on the car more of the time 17:21 then they take all of these 17:22 subassemblies and do one single assembly 17:25 the battery with seats comes in from 17:27 below or above the the sides attach 17:29 complete and then the car is closed off 17:32 one single time with the doors here they 17:34 accurately demonstrate this on a Model y 17:36 but they are very clear that this is a 17:38 process that will not be for this car 17:40 this is for illustration but it's a 17:42 process that will come to their next gen 17:44 vehicle whenever that comes this process 17:47 looks good on the surface but how does 17:48 it actually save Tesla first it saves in 17:51 time because these cars can be assembled 17:53 even faster but it reduces their 17:55 manufacturing footprint by 40% or more 17:58 then when it when it comes to cost they 17:59 expect a 50% reduction the thing with a 18:02 revolutionary process like this though 18:04 is that it requires a lot of investment 18:06 upfront lots of trial and error 18:08 originally Tesla's plan here was to 18:09 build Giga meico from the ground up to 18:12 build this car that factory would have 18:13 been designed to Manufactured this car 18:15 specifically and then Tesla would copy 18:17 and paste that factory once optimized to 18:19 their other factories around the globe 18:21 fill out Giga Texas Shanghai and Berlin 18:24 with this new assembly line or unboxed 18:26 parallel assembly process that was the 18:28 plan and Tesla's nextg vehicle was 18:30 talked about for quite some time but 18:32 things have changed on this front Tesla 18:34 changed plans to First build this at 18:36 Giga Texas this would optimize their 18:38 vertical integration process allowing 18:40 Engineers to work directly on the 18:41 assembly line in real time as it gets 18:43 going on their Q4 2023 earnings report 18:46 they said we continue to make progress 18:48 on our next Generation platform but 18:50 things changed for q1 of 2024 on that 18:53 report Tesla said we have updated our 18:55 future vehicle lineup to accelerate the 18:57 launch of new models ahead of our 18:59 previously communicated start of 19:01 production in the second half of 2025 19:04 these new vehicles including more 19:05 affordable models will utilize aspects 19:08 of the Next Generation platform as well 19:10 as aspects of our current platforms and 19:12 will be able to be produced on the same 19:14 manufacturing lines as our current 19:16 vehicle lineup this update may result in 19:18 achieving less cost reduction than 19:20 previously expected but enables us to 19:22 prudently grow our vehicle volumes in a 19:24 more capex efficient manner during 19:27 uncertain times this would would help us 19:29 fully utilize our current expected 19:31 maximum capacity of close to 3 million 19:33 Vehicles enabling more than 50% growth 19:36 over 2023 production before investing in 19:39 new manufacturing lines our purpose 19:41 built Robo taxi product will continue to 19:43 pursue a revolutionary unboxed 19:45 manufacturing strategy right there was a 19:47 big shift for Tesla it seems that 19:50 whatever this next Tesla will be in 19:51 early 2025 it will utilize some aspects 19:54 of their next Generation platform but 19:56 won't quite bring the massive changes we 19:58 were EXP expecting in part this comes 20:00 because the overall focus seems to be 20:01 their FSD and Robo taxi project if they 20:04 can achieve that though that unbox 20:06 strategy will prove even more valuable 20:08 since these cars would in theory be 20:10 autonomous taxis with a ton of demand 20:12 all of this to say it could be some time 20:14 before we see Tesla truly Implement 20:16 their unbox strategy in fact it could 20:19 even come alongside a single piece 20:20 casting underbody we just assume that it 20:23 won't happen next year that doesn't mean Teslas Future 20:25 it isn't coming though things like this 20:27 do move very slowly taking huge risks 20:29 like this take time after all the 20:31 cybertruck did come to Market but it 20:33 came to Market a full 4 years after it 20:35 was unveiled with that said the unboxed 20:37 process isn't the only thing we'll see 20:39 from Tesla in the future to bring down 20:40 cost and speed things up at that 20:43 investor day they detailed how the power 20:44 train for the model 3 sees continuous 20:46 Improvement and how their next power 20:48 train will be even more scalable they're 20:50 planning for a 75% reduction in silicon 20:52 carbide compatibility with any battery 20:55 chemistry a 50% reduction in Factory 20:57 footprint and $1,000 reduction in all-in 21:00 cost another big piece there is that 21:02 their next Generation permanent magnet 21:04 motors will eliminate rare earth 21:06 materials entirely when it comes to 21:08 electronics electronic controllers and 21:10 general wiring add up in EVs and Tesla 21:13 plans for their next Generation vehicle 21:14 to have 100% Tesla designed controllers 21:17 the big one though is Tesla's future 21:19 shift to 48volt architectures this is an 21:22 advancement that they already ship on 21:24 the Cyber Tru and it's a big deal for a 21:26 number of reasons cars have operated 21:28 with 12volt architectures for a very 21:30 long time at this point quote in 21:32 traditional 12volt Systems wiring and 21:34 components have to be larger and heavier 21:36 to withstand the high electrical loads 21:38 as EVS are requiring more and more here 21:40 it keeps adding weight quote A 48volt 21:42 system can accommodate High loads more 21:45 efficiently which reduces the size and 21:47 weight of wiring especially for low draw 21:49 componentry this translates to better 21:51 vehicle efficiency better handling and 21:54 production efficiency some have even 21:56 gone as far as to call this an industry 21:58 game changer it's one that only Tesla 22:00 could really make at this point since it 22:01 requires Innovation for every piece of 22:03 the vehicle and they started with the 22:05 cybertruck which at this point is an 22:07 expensive Niche vehicle after working 22:09 everything out with the 48 volt 22:10 architecture there and bringing down 22:12 cost through scale they can then bring 22:14 it to their upcoming cheaper Vehicles 22:16 another Evolution for the cybertruck 22:18 that should be perfect for their future 22:19 unboxed car is the ethernet controller Ethernet Controller 22:22 wiring harnesses are a huge mess when 22:24 you truly look at the core of a vehicle 22:26 quote typically every sensor and 22:27 electrical component on a vehicle must 22:29 be connected to the central controller 22:31 and the low voltage system for power 22:34 sometimes this means many wires for 22:35 complex parts let's take the door as an 22:38 example it might comprise sensors to 22:39 Signal the car's computer whether it is 22:41 open closed or at an angle this is also 22:44 true for the windows which feature 22:46 buttons to trigger opening and closing 22:48 the switches are connected to the 22:49 vehicle's controller which in turn is 22:51 connected to the window actuators to 22:53 lower or raise the glass add the 22:55 speakers into the equation and you 22:57 understand why wiring harness are such a 22:59 mess wires spread for Miles inside a 23:01 modern vehicle adding complexity costs 23:04 and weight worse than that building and 23:06 installing them is done by hand with 23:08 ethernet Tesla has been able to 23:09 eliminate tons of wiring quote for 23:11 cybertruck design we have moved to a 23:13 local controller where the wire is 23:15 connected to the nearest controller and 23:17 those controllers are connected over 23:19 ethernet wires are routed to the nearest 23:21 controller where the data is converted 23:23 into a network packet for transmission 23:25 to the correct location in the car they 23:27 specifically say eliminated most cross 23:30 vehicle wires in the Cyber Tru and then 23:32 for the next gen car they will eliminate 23:33 all of them thanks to this technology 23:36 you might think that there's nothing 23:37 more that Tesla could do here but there Dry Cathode 23:39 actually is back in 2020 Tesla detailed 23:42 plans for their future Battery 23:43 Technology made in house the 4680 cell 23:46 today this is the battery cell shipping 23:48 on the cybertruck they make it 23:49 themselves but recently they had a 23:51 breakthrough which could further speed 23:52 up production at the end of the day the 23:54 lower Tesla can bring down cost on their 23:56 cars the faster they will be selling 23:58 them and that's where the dry cathode 24:00 comes into play recently Tesla posted 24:02 through their cybertruck page on X 24:03 saying quote First prototype cybertruck 24:06 with inhouse dry cathode 4680 cells 24:08 making it an all dry cathode vehicle 24:11 when asked what the advantage of this is 24:12 they went on to say cost reduction also 24:15 a much more environmentally friendly 24:16 manufacturing process that will enable 24:18 us to scale production much quicker Elon 24:21 Musk expanded further saying it's a 24:23 major breakthrough the dry cathode 24:25 process is something Tesla acquired when 24:26 they acquired Maxwell technology but 24:28 proving it out has proved difficult the 24:31 wet cathodes process is one of the most 24:33 costly processes in current battery 24:35 manufacturing and this new process once 24:37 scaled allows Tesla to make these with a 24:39 10x reduction of factory space and 10x 24:42 reduction in energy this side by side is 24:45 their original 4680 presentation and 24:47 shows how much this simplifies the 24:49 process Sawyer Meritt further detailed 24:51 the advantages here on X saying that 24:53 this will help Tesla reduce costs by 15 24:56 to 30% on batteries this allows for 24:58 smaller more efficient factories could 25:00 lead to higher density batteries which 25:02 means more range from the same size pack 25:04 and it's better for the environment he 25:06 finished by saying last thing I'll note 25:08 is that various battery companies have 25:10 been working on the dry method for a 25:12 while but all of them have only achieved 25:14 it at lab or Pilot scale at best so it 25:17 may seem like Tesla is at that point but 25:19 on Tesla's recent earnings call they 25:21 said we've built our first validation 25:22 cybertruck with dry cathode process made 25:25 on our mass production equipment which 25:27 is a huge Tech technical Milestone and 25:29 we're super proud of that so yes one 25:31 validation truck for now but it wasn't 25:33 made in isolation it was made on the 25:35 equipment that will allow this to be 25:37 scaled for Tesla they also added that 25:39 they plan for a production launch with 25:41 the dry cathode in Q4 of this year 2024 25:44 which brings the cost significantly 25:46 below Alternatives this is the 25:47 Breakthrough that Tesla talked about 25:49 four years ago at battery day so it is a 25:51 very big deal it is what will help them 25:53 make their own in-house batteries cost 25:55 less than those coming from suppliers 25:57 and it's what once scale will further 25:59 drive down their EV cost in turn we 26:01 could see this be a large piece of what 26:03 helps them ship their more affordable 26:04 EVS in 2025 and then the robo taxi the 26:08 one with that unboxed process so this is 26:10 how Tesla today is producing a new 26:12 vehicle every 13 seconds with their 26:14 current technology and advancements at 26:16 multiple factories they figured out how 26:18 to produce EVS at scale and make them 26:20 profitable they've done this by 26:22 automating many parts of the 26:23 manufacturing process simplifying Parts 26:26 through Technologies like the Giga 26:27 casting and continuously iterating on 26:29 every piece of their vehicles thanks to 26:31 vertical integration across the company 26:33 but they aren't stopping anytime soon 26:36 coming up we're going to see Tesla 26:37 introducing new technologies like 48volt 26:39 architectures ethernet controllers dry 26:42 cathode batteries and much more to their 26:44 consumer Vehicles some of these will 26:46 also be assembled using their unboxed 26:48 manufacturing process that could forever 26:50 change how vehicles are made the 26:51 question now is will this come to 26:53 Consumer vehicles that we drive or will 26:55 Tesla actually solve self-driving and go 26:58 all in on their autonomous Robo taxi 27:00 only time will tell in the meantime if 27:02 you want to see the latest news coming 27:04 from Tesla you can check out that video

When you have all the parts assembled and painted separately and then have to bring them together and attach them together, you have to be careful not to damage any of those parts or any of the painted surfaces. I’m curious to see how this will be done. Perhaps with the upcoming RoboTaxi, it will be a such a uniquely shaped vehicle that it will allow the process to work. 2 Reply @fredricgrethel1717 1 month ago 13 seconds!

Good job. 1 Reply @Smedleydog1 11 days ago A car may be finished or produced every 13 seconds off of more than one line out more than one factory. You said that casting one frame takes 80 seconds (I'm sure that doesn't include cleaning and machining). On most automotive assembly lines the cycle time per station is around 1 - 1.5 minutes. Actual "building" a car takes about 6hrs to assemble including sub assembly and assembly line time. Painting alone is probably 4hrs per body. E.D. coating, sealing, primer and painting all takes time because of oven time and travel time through the paint shop. At the plant I worked at you could figure about 8hrs through body and paint and about another 6hrs through Trim & Final, depending on line stops. Then you have tester line and final inspection. Almost 2 full 8hr shifts total.

Thanks for all the info that i wouldn't get anywhere else i read or watch!! 1 Reply @canadagood 1 month ago (edited) Twenty-two years ago I was working as a software contractor in the same NUMMI factory in Fremont, California that later got sold to Tesla. During my time there we were making a car (Corolla, Prizm or Vibe) every 65 seconds and a Tacoma pickup every 90 seconds. And NUMMI was operating two shifts a day. I have wondered whether Tesla gutted the convoluted two assembly line system winding through multiple connected buildings or did they largely start over from scratch. The simplified castings is impressive. During my time at NUMMI, subassemblies were shipped in 'just in time' fashion from several sources. As an example, for the Toyota Tacoma trucks, the frame assemblies arrived every morning from Stockton for cars assembled later that day. The cargo beds were assembled and shipped from Long Beach. I expect that Tesla has similar issues. They must be shipping batteries and battery packs across country every day. Are the electric motors assembled in each factory at the same pace as the cars? Or are they made in some other location and distributed to the Giga assembly plants? The paint plant was a big NUMMI chokehold. Slight changes of weather or chemistry made subtle noticeable differences to paint surfaces. If you painted doors at a different time or date than the rest of the body then things didn't quite match up in final assembly. 1 Reply @stevenbarrett7648 1 month ago I understand the cost of batteries per Kwh is under $100 now so a battery pack for the Model Y would be about $8000 or less plus once they start using robots to build their cars the price can only go down. 2 Reply @ernestv10 1 month ago Unfortunately, they sell 1 every 13 days. 7 Reply @BradHouser 1 month ago At 09:46 it says Installed Capacity Does Not Equal Production Rate.

The old MIl-1553 system had similar issues with contention, but at least had the capability to "disregard" damaged sensor and local controllers, from the main busses. There are already videos on the Inet, where people trapped inside burning Teslas, CANNOT get the windows down, or doors open. This is very dangerous technology, and needs to be regulated for passenger safety (especially if the cars have a tendency to have failed batteries, and complete loss of power). That is another danger of the 48V systems. GM worked on these decades ago, and in those days "filament bulbs" did not have the suitable longevity. Now with LEDs and arc lamps this is no longer a problem. If Tesla uses the Main battery for the 48V power (stepdown converter), then the car may again be susceptible to at least TWO single point failures, right off the bat. That's not counting the failures of the multiple local controllers, if the Jam the busses. On the Inet, this is called a DDOS attack.
