No question that all the legacy automakers are scared like hell. They lobby like crazy against Tesla behind the scenes, I imagine. But it is definitely too late.
I love my Model Y and I like Tesla, but I don't think Legacy Automakers need to worry , Teslas' EV lowest priced is $50,000 out of door, Model Y is $70,000 out of door. With limited Tesla Service Centers, Tesla's customers base is very different and apart from Legacy Automakers .... End of the day, how many people can afford to buy a Tesla ?? 😁
@@JY-lg6ee Last year Elon talked about a $25K hatchback. Clearly the upscale market is more profitable and should be addressed first. After he saturates that market the low cost cars will be more of a possibility. He will also have an immense experience enabling him to make this happen. I don't know if he can or will want to hit that $25K mark but it looks possible from here.
no doubt lots of under the table remuneration going on. Just look at the SpaceX delay in Texas due to an environmental impact study. They keep delaying it. Gee, I wonder why?
I don't think so. The technology is evolving. The capital can be applied to a generation of technology beyond Tesla. When they do produce their units in bulk, they will have a full cadre of previous loyal customers who will check out their products. I have a Ford and when my current wheels get old, I will shop around.
6:21 It's actually just simple multiplication. If Tesla claims to be able to store up to 1 GWh on only three acres of land area, then with 53 acres, they could cobble together a Megapack system capable of holding almost 18 GWh of solar and generation capacity in the very high megawatt to near gigawatt+ range. Spare electricity could then go on to power a nearby Tesla City housing development for the employees.
@@hecside08 no. It’s unlikely that any of the current model Ys on order will come from Texas. A new model will likely be launched from Texas. Maybe a standard range model
I just ordered it yesterday not realizing the Chevy Silverado EV still has Cubolt and that is the reason for Battery fires. I'm not sure if that is in the Cybertruck Battery also.
Well, get prices low, you mean. Tesla isn't there yet. A long range Model 3 is over 50K: I can get a fully-loaded Touring Accord for 10K less than that. Electric cars can't just compete with other plug-ins, it's a real challenge for sure, but I'm glad Tesla is here to push these main-line manufacturers in the right direction, even for people not interested specifically in Tesla's current products (all above the average cost of a car in the US).
So I ordered my 2022 Model 3 LR about 5 weeks ago with an EDD widow of May 18th-Jun 15th. Can you guys tell me if yours came on-time, early, or late. Thanks for the upload upper, nice vid!
Impossible since they are wildly battery-constrained with the 4680's. They don't have anywhere near the capacity to build even 30,000 cars a year... New 4680 production will be a slow ramp due to the incredible complexity and safety testing requirements.
@@awebuser5914 Wow is that so,it will be interessting to see the reaction of all the Tesla Stockpumpers who thinking we just can switch on production like a electronic device!
Since the entire "structural" battery pack was kind of a joke (it's not structural, it's just convenient for manufacturing), I suspect they will have alternate packs ready that use 2170s. Not leveraging Panasonic cells made at Giga Nevada and essentially "idling" a factory would be completely idiotic.
I really appreciate Tesla as an idea, because it asks a simple question: why are we still using gasoline-powered vehicles? Why does nonsense in Russia mean I have to pay more to drive to the local supermarket? Generating electricity had never been less dependant on fossil fuels than it is today. It grows more and more untenable for cars to be powered strictly by fossil fuels. And Tesla is helping "fuel" this discussion more than niche products like the Prius ever did, because they're all-in. Every other manufacturer has strictly hedged on EVs...now they're going to get completely bypassed by a company willing to stake it's entire reputation on electric vehicles.
Call him whatever you want and yes, he could be a bit off at times, but what this guy had built in his short lifetime is insane !!!! People have no idea what it takes to build one factory like this from ground up. How much money he spends just to do a grand opening for one of these. Just to keep the lights on 24/7. Its just unreal. So Elan, you have my super respect and you can be as crazy as you wish.
unibody is great and all, but i can't fathom the repair process or cost associated for the consumer. a simple dent or a minor collision and your screwed.
@11:50 You're making a mistake if you think that the *4680* cell form factor is for the consumer. It's *_not._* It's so *Tesla* can satisfy its stated/published specs for a _lower cost._ As long as the specs are met, what do you, as a consumer, care? Right?
Since when were improvements in both performance and efficiency _not_ good for the end user? It's like saying the efficiency improvements of a 2019 engine over a 1979 engine only benefit the manufacturer.
@@user2C47 except tesla has previously stated that the vehicles will be the same spec, and the weight reduction will be fairly negligible on overall efficiency, the only thing it will really change is the cost of production and I highly doubt tesla will be passing that onto the consumer.

👋 excellent video as usual :) If i may suggest something: Please consider your international audience and use both imperial and metric units in future video. Pround to be one of your patreons, keep up the great work! 🚀
In addition, writing the relevant numbers shortly on screen is always very appreciated, at least by me. 😊 The audio doesn't need to cover every km to miles conversion, just showing it would be enough.
Pretty much every American watching this video is interested in science or technology and is fine with kilometers. Many, like me, even prefer kilometers over miles. For these kinds of videos it's better to just use metric units and don't even bother with the medieval units. (...and just ignore all the anti-American trolls trying to ruin our industrial competitiveness by keeping us on medieval units from the days before freedom when we were ruled over by a foreign king.)
I'd love to get some insights to what was shared in this video. I'm a huge fan of Tesla, and have a model Y. I feel as though the one solid piece would be detrimental to Tesla, because if there is a major accident, you can't just fix the skeleton. You'd basically have to replace the car, as you can't just replace a few parts. Second, how can they be selling the new battery packs when they have not been approved yet by the department of Transportation, and its not available on the site?
Most accidents are superficial body damage. Once your frame is tweaked... typically your car is totaled anyways no matter what brand it is. Having a single piece frame means easier construction, better safety crash test results, and cheaper/faster production. All good things. If you get in a wreck where your frame is messed up, you shouldn't be selling it back into the usable market anyways.
@@CaedenV lol……. Aluminum can very easily crack and it’s a structural part of the car so no one can easily know what happened in an accident, there is a reason why heavy duty machines uses steel instead of aluminum, and who know la how those castings are going to survive on super rough African or South American roads!?
@@CaedenV Having a Single piece frame is a piece of crap.It's Cheaper when Cars are hitting $55,000 ? No..you got it all Wrong,Who Cares about Faster/Cheaper...It's Stupid.Why ? You're going to buy a headlight worth $3,000? .....Ugh..you people are so dumb with your single piece frame logic.
And you want a car you can get into a minor accident, without having to shell out thousands of dollars for repairs. Moving from being a status item to an everyday, road-weary vehicle.
@@bernlin2000 And apparently Tesla's take a long time to get repaired after an accident. At least the stories I've read end up being 3 or 4 months to get repaired.
@@geneadams324 This gigafactory is not completed. Eventually the roof will be covered in solar panels, and with wind turbines and batteries, all the factory's electricity needs will be generated on site.
Less and less parts and no modularity to build a new car may sound amazing for Tesla, but it's terrifying for us as users. Any simple crash will take enormous amounts of time and money to repair.
Exactly, just look at old/new cars that are been exported to Africa, South America…… who is going to maintain those cars?! The road conditions are going to crush those aluminum castings and no parts things,
There is a really good reason why cars with very few electronics are still on the roads today, I still see 1980 Mercedes’ trucks and cars on the roads for example.
Yeah I was thinking the same. The battery being more relatively “exposed” on the bottom of the car seems like a lot of risk was introduced for no reason. But I also don’t design cars for a living
Not likely to happen for at least 3-5 more year's outside of new government incentives being inacted like what failed last year to pass. Or buying on the used market in a couple year's coupled with an incentive like exists now in some states for used evs up to 20k. 🤔 Even then it'll probably be a very basic ev if not one built outside the U.S. itself and then imported.
Raw materials supply constraints will not satisfy demand unless much less people than I think want electric. I think I'll look up the demographics concerning how many people can afford $55,000 cars.
@@fireofenergy well the average new vehicle sold is now around 51k. So around 16+million new cars sold in the U.S. last year. It's gotta be at least 20,000,000+people who can afford one due to the pent up demand and wait lists. 🤔
I'm realistic, I know that they'll likely launch a version in around 5 years for 30-35 grand but the demand will outpace supply and most people in situations like myself wouldn't get one for at least 10 years down the road.
Setting up a BESS at Giga Texas will serve several purposes. It will provide the factory with backup power to maintain production during any power outages, it will allow for profit with energy purchasing and sales, and it will maximize self use of their PV plant.
This is why they registered as an energy provider in texas. The main goal here is going to be immune to texas grid failures, but the texas system allows them to sell power to the grid and republicans can't stop them. They can develop a product they can sell to other factories that need stable power around the globe, but also go into business for themselves as a solar energy producer that can still provide power at night with megapacks.
@@_PatrickO tesla is nothing when it sines to solar energy production, they buys all of their solar panels from china, tesla can only do well with batteries. Solar is already universal and any company can sell them
That is crazy. That building is about the same size as the entire south base compound we had at Edward's AFB. I thought the hangers were huge. This is just silly big.
Teratx the new world tesla hq is nearly 1 mile long, with 4 internal levels of production. Well over 4 times the size of any of their other factories. Using all the latest production improvements and tesla tech. I wonder how many millions it'll do once fully ramped up around 2025? For comparison the Shanghai factory has hit an 800k+annualized run rate. My swag is over 4 million units of production for tx alone by the end of 2025. 😀
The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual's list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy
OMG! snow in Austin! if you play back the factory pics at time 1:07 (quarter normal speed helps) you will see snow on the ground on day 208 Feb. 15th 2021..........
I LIVE HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS !! (821 Gunter Street Casa Marianella Inmigration) MY DREAM IS WORK IN THIS GREAT & AMAZING COMPANY!! TESLA ❤ OUR GREAT FUTURE!!!
The Gigapress is made by an Italian manufacturer. You can see on the Wikipedia that they've sold two whole machines IIRC to another manufacturer, completely unrelated to cars. Tesla are currently their only other (known) customer. I'm sure Ford etc will catch up... you know, when Elon buys them out from sheer pity.
Wrong, tesla isn’t the only IDRA customer, IDRA has been making machines for sooo many car makers and many other companies in different industry sectors over the decades, IDRA isn’t the only company that makes those machines.
everything in that factory looks amazing, but my one concern about the new product variants is- do they plan for battery replacement to ever even be possible with the new architecture? I dont see how they could, but I also dont know how well the long term ownership economics would play out if you have to get a new car instead of a new battery.
Battery replacement isn’t a good idea. To have a battery replacement model, you would need to produce multiple battery packs per car. Batteries are the main production constraint for EVs. So for every battery they produce to sustain a battery swap model, that’s one fewer car they can produce. Much better to just have the battery pack be able to perform at a high level for enough charge cycles to give it a life expectancy greater than or equal to that of a combustion engine.
Isn't the 4680 cell designed to last a million miles? Given the average annual mileage in the US is 14,264 miles, that's over 70 years! Way longer than any of the Tesla vehicles' bodies will last, with the possible exception of the Cybertruck with its stainless steel exoskeleton body. If it does need replacing for some unusual reason, disconnect it, unbolt it from the front and rear giga-castings, and lower it out. Raise a new one in and bolt it up.
@@CYAnomo Let's pray they don't catch fire. So, what you are saying is that once the Tesla car reaches 500k miles, it's time to do a refresh and get a new Tesla. Just recycle the whole car.
I put a preorder on my CT last week. The back order on it is so crazy to get it before the end of 2023 would be a miracle. But I'll wait! It'll be worth it!
Unless it is a very rare case, the battery will not need to be changed. Recently, JB Strauble, co-founder of Tesla, said the batteries would last at least 15 years. On the rare occasion where the battery pack would need to be replaced, the pack could be unbolted from the car and the pack can be dropped down. In those cases the seats and other interior parts would probably be removed from the vehicle prior to dropping the pack down, whereas in the factory those parts would be pre-attached to the battery pack prior to installing it into the vehicle.
@@littlet7556 Don't be silly. 10-year-old Nissan LEAFs still have something like 60% charge even with their inferior batteries and atrocious power/thermal management. (Check out AutoTrader's great vids about the cheapest used Nissan LEAF to see this in action.) In 15 years, Tesla's structural 4680 packs will still hold most of their original charge.
Very surprised and happy that the Giga Texas plant is finally open.Thought I was going to just get an update-instead it's already done. Now when will they start making my Cyber Truck?
great to hear the explanation about the difference with austin and berlin concerning the loading bay. I remebered seeing the path in austin where there was no strutural cross section between them before the ceiling, good to know exactly about it.
You raised good questions about the specs of MY built at Giga Texas. They surely don't want to make it much different than the one coming from Fremont. It is possible that the CA factory will be upgraded to structural 4680 batteries over time when Tesla will unleash the hidden capabilities of the MYs. Giga Texas CANNOT sell MYs until they receive EPA certification for their new MY. This certification will show "Official" EPA the e-milage on the window sticker. Without it Giga Texas can ship it to different locations but cannot sell any car. Maybe EPA will give their certificate before the April 7 Giga Rodeo or Elon will give us an update on this at the gala event.
And no one I know wants a car that has to have a $20,000 battery replacement after about 8 years. Meanwhile the Chinese are copying legacy ICE engines.
Look at your foot. Now imaging it's square instead of foot shaped. Now, multiply that by 8 million. There you go. Now you know exactly how big the Austin Gigafactory is. Easy and intuitive, right?
Anyone have any idea if the Y I have on order will be a Texas 4680? Showing preliminary delivery of June 6 - Jul 18 window. I know it is very hard to speculate but I have a feeling it may be a gradual transition with some being Fremont, some being Texas.
@@Joeybear16 I remember reading that Giga Texas will only be making vehicles for Eastern US. Hopefully things will change so that I can order the new 4680 MY for delivery to CA.
As soon as I'm 100% sure I can order and get an Austin 4680 MY I will sell my 2020 MY and place my order for a PMY. I can get $5K more for my 20-month-old Y than I paid for it and my Y is paid for. It's crazy.
@@krashd So a Tesla isn't a Tesla anymore the minute it's sold? Credit is due where credit is due. I remember when Tesla wasn't credited for what they've achieved. Now some people seem to not credit those companies that help in advancing Tesla further.

Elon Musk is brilliant being able to keep advancing tech in so many areas. This is what makes him special and interesting. Amazing!
I just landed a job with tesla as a IT manufacturing support technician, I can’t wait for the tour this week!
How do repairs look like in the case of an accident? Since the frame is one single piece of metal, i'm not sure how repairs would work.
They want you to pay for their own tesla insurance, just 10k a year!

Thanks for the details. I love it.
Everything is bigger and better in TEXAS! YEAHAW!
No question that all the legacy automakers are scared like hell. They lobby like crazy against Tesla behind the scenes, I imagine.
But it is definitely too late.
I love my Model Y and I like Tesla, but I don't think Legacy Automakers need to worry , Teslas' EV lowest priced is $50,000 out of door, Model Y is $70,000 out of door. With limited Tesla Service Centers, Tesla's customers base is very different and apart from Legacy Automakers .... End of the day, how many people can afford to buy a Tesla ?? 😁
@@JY-lg6ee Last year Elon talked about a $25K hatchback. Clearly the upscale market is more profitable and should be addressed first. After he saturates that market the low cost cars will be more of a possibility. He will also have an immense experience enabling him to make this happen. I don't know if he can or will want to hit that $25K mark but it looks possible from here.
no doubt lots of under the table remuneration going on. Just look at the SpaceX delay in Texas due to an environmental impact study. They keep delaying it. Gee, I wonder why?
I don't think so. The technology is evolving. The capital can be applied to a generation of technology beyond Tesla. When they do produce their units in bulk, they will have a full cadre of previous loyal customers who will check out their products. I have a Ford and when my current wheels get old, I will shop around.
All EV makers should unite
6:21
It's actually just simple multiplication. If Tesla claims to be able to store up to 1 GWh on only three acres of land area, then with 53 acres, they could cobble together a Megapack system capable of holding almost 18 GWh of solar and generation capacity in the very high megawatt to near gigawatt+ range. Spare electricity could then go on to power a nearby Tesla City housing development for the employees.
You deserve this California. Welcome home Tesla. Where a state where we live in reality.
Awesome! Just in time for my MYLR due in the next 3-7 weeks. Very exciting!
Are all Y’s US deliveries coming from this factory now?
@@hecside08 no. It’s unlikely that any of the current model Ys on order will come from Texas. A new model will likely be launched from Texas. Maybe a standard range model
@@NextGenEvs I’d heard about that. Would be nice to be surprised though.

@@hecside08 No, just being hopeful. I'm in New England and hoping it's coming from Austin rather than Fremont.
I’m very excited!! One step closer to getting my cyber truck!!
I just ordered it yesterday not realizing the Chevy Silverado EV still has Cubolt and that is the reason for Battery fires. I'm not sure if that is in the Cybertruck Battery also.
The rest of the automakers should be concerned, this’ll help keep prices low while making a better designed vehicle.
Western automakers are most concerned by Chinese competitors...
Low? Eventually, maybe. Not today.
Not able to figure out that low prices. May you help us?
Well, get prices low, you mean. Tesla isn't there yet. A long range Model 3 is over 50K: I can get a fully-loaded Touring Accord for 10K less than that. Electric cars can't just compete with other plug-ins, it's a real challenge for sure, but I'm glad Tesla is here to push these main-line manufacturers in the right direction, even for people not interested specifically in Tesla's current products (all above the average cost of a car in the US).
Yep. Tesla isn't gonna let them catch. Elon stays hungry. And hi companies put money in r&d and none in advertising
So I ordered my 2022 Model 3 LR about 5 weeks ago with an EDD widow of May 18th-Jun 15th. Can you guys tell me if yours came on-time, early, or late. Thanks for the upload upper, nice vid!

@@Joeybear16 yeah like our tax returns.
Judging by Giga Shanghai, I believe Giga Texas will be able to (Conservatively) achieve 350,000 vehicle production by the end of the year
No i think about 60k cars(
Impossible since they are wildly battery-constrained with the 4680's. They don't have anywhere near the capacity to build even 30,000 cars a year... New 4680 production will be a slow ramp due to the incredible complexity and safety testing requirements.
@@awebuser5914 Wow is that so,it will be interessting to see the reaction of all the Tesla Stockpumpers who thinking we just can switch on production like a electronic device!
Since the entire "structural" battery pack was kind of a joke (it's not structural, it's just convenient for manufacturing), I suspect they will have alternate packs ready that use 2170s. Not leveraging Panasonic cells made at Giga Nevada and essentially "idling" a factory would be completely idiotic.
@@awebuser5914 Do you have data about how quicklyTesla will ramp up their 4680 production?
Great place Texas or Florida Tesla is the best
I really appreciate Tesla as an idea, because it asks a simple question: why are we still using gasoline-powered vehicles? Why does nonsense in Russia mean I have to pay more to drive to the local supermarket?
Generating electricity had never been less dependant on fossil fuels than it is today. It grows more and more untenable for cars to be powered strictly by fossil fuels. And Tesla is helping "fuel" this discussion more than niche products like the Prius ever did, because they're all-in.
Every other manufacturer has strictly hedged on EVs...now they're going to get completely bypassed by a company willing to stake it's entire reputation on electric vehicles.
Call him whatever you want and yes, he could be a bit off at times, but what this guy had built in his short lifetime is insane !!!! People have no idea what it takes to build one factory like this from ground up. How much money he spends just to do a grand opening for one of these. Just to keep the lights on 24/7. Its just unreal. So Elan, you have my super respect and you can be as crazy as you wish.
unibody is great and all, but i can't fathom the repair process or cost associated for the consumer. a simple dent or a minor collision and your screwed.
Elon Musk the best entrepreneur of our time.
@11:50 You're making a mistake if you think that the *4680* cell form factor is for the consumer.
It's *_not._* It's so *Tesla* can satisfy its stated/published specs for a _lower cost._
As long as the specs are met, what do you, as a consumer, care? Right?
Since when were improvements in both performance and efficiency _not_ good for the end user? It's like saying the efficiency improvements of a 2019 engine over a 1979 engine only benefit the manufacturer.
@@user2C47 except tesla has previously stated that the vehicles will be the same spec, and the weight reduction will be fairly negligible on overall efficiency, the only thing it will really change is the cost of production and I highly doubt tesla will be passing that onto the consumer.

Pretty much every American watching this video is interested in science or technology and is fine with kilometers. Many, like me, even prefer kilometers over miles. For these kinds of videos it's better to just use metric units and don't even bother with the medieval units.
(...and just ignore all the anti-American trolls trying to ruin our industrial competitiveness by keeping us on medieval units from the days before freedom when we were ruled over by a foreign king.)
THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE U.S.A.
I'd love to get some insights to what was shared in this video. I'm a huge fan of Tesla, and have a model Y. I feel as though the one solid piece would be detrimental to Tesla, because if there is a major accident, you can't just fix the skeleton. You'd basically have to replace the car, as you can't just replace a few parts. Second, how can they be selling the new battery packs when they have not been approved yet by the department of Transportation, and its not available on the site?
Most accidents are superficial body damage. Once your frame is tweaked... typically your car is totaled anyways no matter what brand it is. Having a single piece frame means easier construction, better safety crash test results, and cheaper/faster production. All good things. If you get in a wreck where your frame is messed up, you shouldn't be selling it back into the usable market anyways.
Yea, that's a big problem for tesla, not being able to fix a certain part.. :/
@@CaedenV lol……. Aluminum can very easily crack and it’s a structural part of the car so no one can easily know what happened in an accident, there is a reason why heavy duty machines uses steel instead of aluminum, and who know la how those castings are going to survive on super rough African or South American roads!?
@@CaedenV Having a Single piece frame is a piece of crap.It's Cheaper when Cars are hitting $55,000 ? No..you got it all Wrong,Who Cares about Faster/Cheaper...It's Stupid.Why ? You're going to buy a headlight worth $3,000? .....Ugh..you people are so dumb with your single piece frame logic.
2:00 please choose different colours
If they could come up with a sub $30,000 version. Most people can't afford a $60,000+ car. Not to mention three grand a year for insurance.
And you want a car you can get into a minor accident, without having to shell out thousands of dollars for repairs. Moving from being a status item to an everyday, road-weary vehicle.
@@bernlin2000 And apparently Tesla's take a long time to get repaired after an accident. At least the stories I've read end up being 3 or 4 months to get repaired.

@@MrAlanfalk73 awesome that's going to be a massive amount of solar collection! I guess Tesla cannot make enough solar tiles to do this haha

This gigafactory is not completed. Eventually the roof will be covered in solar panels, and with wind turbines and batteries, all the factory's electricity needs will be generated on site.

3:40 wasn't the Cybertruck canceled? I understand this was probably recorded earlier but still look at the name of your channel..
Less and less parts and no modularity to build a new car may sound amazing for Tesla, but it's terrifying for us as users. Any simple crash will take enormous amounts of time and money to repair.
Insurance is all in house at Tesla. Beyond that any accident the cars are in creates an incident report in their database
Exactly, just look at old/new cars that are been exported to Africa, South America…… who is going to maintain those cars?! The road conditions are going to crush those aluminum castings and no parts things,
There is a really good reason why cars with very few electronics are still on the roads today, I still see 1980 Mercedes’ trucks and cars on the roads for example.
@@mlaw1123 lol….. that means nothing
Yeah I was thinking the same. The battery being more relatively “exposed” on the bottom of the car seems like a lot of risk was introduced for no reason. But I also don’t design cars for a living
How do they get snow off of there or doesn't it snow there?
This is great an all but I wanna know when an "affordable " one will be available for people making under 35 000 annually.
Not likely to happen for at least 3-5 more year's outside of new government incentives being inacted like what failed last year to pass.
Or buying on the used market in a couple year's coupled with an incentive like exists now in some states for used evs up to 20k. 🤔
Even then it'll probably be a very basic ev if not one built outside the U.S. itself and then imported.
Raw materials supply constraints will not satisfy demand unless much less people than I think want electric. I think I'll look up the demographics concerning how many people can afford $55,000 cars.
@@fireofenergy well the average new vehicle sold is now around 51k. So around 16+million new cars sold in the U.S. last year. It's gotta be at least 20,000,000+people who can afford one due to the pent up demand and wait lists. 🤔
I'm realistic, I know that they'll likely launch a version in around 5 years for 30-35 grand but the demand will outpace supply and most people in situations like myself wouldn't get one for at least 10 years down the road.
Never

GREAT WORK GUYS
Setting up a BESS at Giga Texas will serve several purposes. It will provide the factory with backup power to maintain production during any power outages, it will allow for profit with energy purchasing and sales, and it will maximize self use of their PV plant.
This is why they registered as an energy provider in texas. The main goal here is going to be immune to texas grid failures, but the texas system allows them to sell power to the grid and republicans can't stop them. They can develop a product they can sell to other factories that need stable power around the globe, but also go into business for themselves as a solar energy producer that can still provide power at night with megapacks.

Great job team Tesla
The Gigapress is made by an Italian manufacturer. You can see on the Wikipedia that they've sold two whole machines IIRC to another manufacturer, completely unrelated to cars. Tesla are currently their only other (known) customer. I'm sure Ford etc will catch up... you know, when Elon buys them out from sheer pity.
Of course the Italian company is owned by the Chinese.
@@alechorn1109 Most car companies are now owned by the Chinese. Like Volvo...
Wrong, tesla isn’t the only IDRA customer, IDRA has been making machines for sooo many car makers and many other companies in different industry sectors over the decades, IDRA isn’t the only company that makes those machines.

Loving the Renewable power that will be used by this plant- VERY Green mix for Texas Teslas : )
One hundred BILLION models Y’s!
everything in that factory looks amazing, but my one concern about the new product variants is- do they plan for battery replacement to ever even be possible with the new architecture? I dont see how they could, but I also dont know how well the long term ownership economics would play out if you have to get a new car instead of a new battery.
The batteries will last over 500k miles. No need to replace.
Battery replacement isn’t a good idea.
To have a battery replacement model, you would need to produce multiple battery packs per car. Batteries are the main production constraint for EVs. So for every battery they produce to sustain a battery swap model, that’s one fewer car they can produce.
Much better to just have the battery pack be able to perform at a high level for enough charge cycles to give it a life expectancy greater than or equal to that of a combustion engine.
Isn't the 4680 cell designed to last a million miles? Given the average annual mileage in the US is 14,264 miles, that's over 70 years! Way longer than any of the Tesla vehicles' bodies will last, with the possible exception of the Cybertruck with its stainless steel exoskeleton body. If it does need replacing for some unusual reason, disconnect it, unbolt it from the front and rear giga-castings, and lower it out. Raise a new one in and bolt it up.
@@hillmans69 dude you're drinking the kool-aide.
@@CYAnomo Let's pray they don't catch fire. So, what you are saying is that once the Tesla car reaches 500k miles, it's time to do a refresh and get a new Tesla. Just recycle the whole car.
When you trade one in for a new one do you get a standard trade in value?
Prediction: total auto production in Texas in 2022 about 300-400K cars. 2023, 1 million just out of the Texas plant (including early Cybertruck)
I put a preorder on my CT last week. The back order on it is so crazy to get it before the end of 2023 would be a miracle. But I'll wait! It'll be worth it!

@@fauxbro1983 I’ll say fangirls tbh!
I think Giga Texas will Produce 200.000 vehicles in the first year
I was gonna predict 250k by end of 2022.
I think it could be closed to a million cars once they get everything figured out and run to full specs
How to change the battery if it is part of the structure of the car ?
Unless it is a very rare case, the battery will not need to be changed. Recently, JB Strauble, co-founder of Tesla, said the batteries would last at least 15 years. On the rare occasion where the battery pack would need to be replaced, the pack could be unbolted from the car and the pack can be dropped down. In those cases the seats and other interior parts would probably be removed from the vehicle prior to dropping the pack down, whereas in the factory those parts would be pre-attached to the battery pack prior to installing it into the vehicle.
Chances are the battery will last longer than the car.
Five years from now it may get boring seeing so many identical cars. Wish I had one now in BZE.
@@bbcooter388 hahaha! 15 years! You'll have 5% charge by then
@@littlet7556 Don't be silly. 10-year-old Nissan LEAFs still have something like 60% charge even with their inferior batteries and atrocious power/thermal management. (Check out AutoTrader's great vids about the cheapest used Nissan LEAF to see this in action.) In 15 years, Tesla's structural 4680 packs will still hold most of their original charge.

great to hear the explanation about the difference with austin and berlin concerning the loading bay. I remebered seeing the path in austin where there was no strutural cross section between them before the ceiling, good to know exactly about it.
Thanks again for good stuff.
You raised good questions about the specs of MY built at Giga Texas. They surely don't want to make it much different than the one coming from Fremont. It is possible that the CA factory will be upgraded to structural 4680 batteries over time when Tesla will unleash the hidden capabilities of the MYs.
Giga Texas CANNOT sell MYs until they receive EPA certification for their new MY. This certification will show "Official" EPA the e-milage on the window sticker. Without it Giga Texas can ship it to different locations but cannot sell any car.
Maybe EPA will give their certificate before the April 7 Giga Rodeo or Elon will give us an update on this at the gala event.
So what does this place employ like 8 people?
And no one I know wants a car that has to have a $20,000 battery replacement after about 8 years. Meanwhile the Chinese are copying legacy ICE engines.
