Setting aside other concers about the company, as a German, it is in fact remarkable at what speed they've built in Berlin. Usually German bureaucracy is pretty slow at approving these kind of projects.
The "bureaucracy" is the sum of all processes of consideration with environment, fairness, competition, past ownerships, employees, safety, stake holders, etc. etc. ... I'm happy for the result, even though personally the process can be painful & annoying at times.
Right so they've gone ahead with building without the bureaucracy and red tape being finalised. What happens when something that's already now been built doesn't get rubber stamped and approved? Do they have to tear it down and is taking the chance of this happening worth the risk? Also aren't there fines or penalties for going ahead and starting to build without approval from the council or the plans being passed first?
@@NikiBechusWTF my guess is Elon is betting on any country accepting free $$$ from tax income and increase of jobs. so hes showing a factory down their throat but its honey coated for a smooth insertion.
So they make their factories out of pre-made components that come from another factory. SO WHERE DOES THAT FACTORY COME FROM, B1M??? Is it factories all the way down? I expect a B1M video about the factory that makes factories any day now.
@@YuriG03042 The first one is undoubtedly true. As a long time fan of this channel i can say without doubt that the quality of the content being produced is steadily decreasing, and that this video is a particularly egregious example.
CORRECTION: *german construction companies* (e.g. goldbeck) know how to build quickly, not tesla. tesla knows what it needs, the rest is up to the construction companies.
@@stisti01 No @kam_iko is right. Telsa don't hire civil and structural engineers, or any contractors for that matter. They hire a design and construction firm to take care of it.
The production layout is made by the manufacturer( in this case Tesla). There must be some intrinsic advantage in their production layout and their budgeting that is enabling the construction company to do its job effectively. If the facility layout required many specialized pieces and custom dimensions for every compartment, there is nothing that a construction company can do to speed this process up( example: if the machines the factory has to house were of comically different dimensions and bear different loads on the building, it takes time to custom make all those rooms, but if all the machinery was of standardized weight and dimensions, the construction company can mass produce the required parts) I just finished my college project report on the manufacturing plant of Jindal Stainless limited in Hisar and the main way they reduced the cost of production and made room for expansion is by standardizing the equipment. Large equipment was divided into several pieces of standard weight and dimensions.
I really like how measured their respect is for the world around them. They aren't so wimpy that they stand down at the first sign of conflict or resistance. but also they delayed building the factory by a few months because one of the trees that were in the way of construction because the tree had bats in it. They are massive users of cobalt (a horrible metal to source because most of it mined and refined unethically) but they have been trying to reduce their use, and are going completely cobalt-free soon. not stopping progress, and continually adapting for the better of everyone. and let's not forget, making a shitload of money in the prosses.
They are legally not permitted by the authorities to clear trees during bat breeding season. It's legally not possible, nothing to do with Tesla ethics
@@coolredpen Actually even if cobalt comed from the drc. It doesn't mean it's child Labour. That's illegal there. What happens is children next to the mine...mine the ground itself and sell the ore to the company... Because they are poor af and what would you do if you born in the hellhole of goma
@@1pcfred i "think" i heard somewhere that creating making larges amounts of something ends up making it cheaper. I dont know how it works and dont remember where i heard it so i could be entirely wrong
Never looked into Tesla's factory, surprised that they are using this type of construction instead of traditional on site method. I wish you can do a video specifically on this, because I know one of the projects Hongkong Zhuhai Macau Bridge utilized this in various ways, im sure there are many impressive projects we would all want to know more about.
"other repeatable building types like schools, prisons, hotels and homes" - anyone else feel like they are just building prisons and using the same templates for everything else?
This video seemed a little light on content, Fred. Maybe you can find out a few more details? What construction software are they using? How are they able to do so much in parallel? How much local content are they using for building materials and labor? How much comes from Tesla headquarters? Inquiring minds want to know much more. They refer to building factories as "building the machine that builds the machine". They're obviously approaching the project as an engineering problem, not a construction problem. They approach all their engineering problems from "first principles", trying to find the most efficient solution using physics to analyze what needs to be done and in what order, and which steps can be done in parallel to minimize build time and investment cost. They claim that engineering a factory is 1000x to 10,000x harder than engineering the product that the factory is going to make, but there's also much more room for optimization.
This is, as Eric said, due to waiting for your turn. If 2 months is bad, you'll absolutely hate hypercar manufacturers. You drop £3 million plus on a car and have to wait 2 YEARS or more for it to be built and for pickup. Even cars like the Mercedes AMG One are taking up to 5 years
3:52 This is just one example of how government regulations give big business advantages of smaller ones. There is virtually zero risk that Tesla's building permit would be revoked once the factory is finished, even if their permit application according should be denied according to the rules. A smaller or "less cool" business doesn't have this privilege. This creates a market where the big or "hip" players have advantages over smaller and less flashy ones. The result is centralization, fewer consumer choices and slower technology advancement. Yet, the same people who complain about some businesses being "too big" also support the regulations that creates the supposed problem.
Preliminary building permits must be only be granted if it's most likely that a final building permit is possible. That does not depend on the size of the company. The political influence on the administrations in Germany is small (otherwise BER airport would have opened in 2011). It's not uncommon to start building with a preliminary building permit in Germany. And smaller and less complex projects will need even less time. One advantage of this site was that it was already assigned for industrial use (they hoped that BMW will build there a factory but they decided on Leipzig). The process to reassign an area or agricultural or residential or recreational/environmental (most difficult) use to industrial use is what takes the longest. As for this several administrative and political steps are necessary. And here the risk that this fails is given. Space in densely settled Germany is not endless.
@@abalada I have close to zero confidence in any political or regulatory process in the world as it looks today. It may very well be that German bureaucracy is more objective than that of other countries, but that doesn't mean it's rational or just in the absolute sense. As evidence, I present the absolute insanity of the German government shutting down the most reliable, power-dense and affordable close to zero-carbon emission power source (nuclear) and replacing it with unreliable, extremely land- and raw materials intensive, and more carbon intensive solar and wind.

If you've ever been to any of its gigafactories ...it actually DOESN'T build its factories quickly. It builds in stages, and designs the next stage of upscaling with each iteration/stage of expansion.
Hey guys, first of all, very informative and good video! And second, can you do a video, about reconstructions of old and destroyed buildings in germany? For example, the oldtown in Frankfurt or in Dresden or the Berliner Schloss in Berlin? It would be great and it is an interesting topic.
What a great idea for a video! Your content about specific projects are always great but I've really enjoyed your breakdowns of engineering techniques, processes and tools used to realize the projects in general. I'd very much enjoy a video about engineering solutions for architecture preservation - be it preserving very old buildings / bridges or bringing decades old structures up to modern standards (wink wink)
Tesla was flying their floors (battery trays) for the cars across the country to our facility to be processed and fly them back to Cali. That only lasted just about a year until they could build a completely new line for themselves.
Henry Ford shut down Nikola Tesla's ideas by arguing we don't need electric motors for cars when we already have "perfectly good" internal combustion engines. Henry Ford put the world into over a century of burning fossils for passenger vehicles. Henry Ford is the worst offender in the ICE disease that has lasted 'til 2020 and finally after a century, a cure is found and ICE will be dead within a decade. I used to be a "petrolhead" until I realized I've been lied to by big oil big auto since birth. Now I am just a performance EV enthusiast, a powerhead/electrohead of you will...Henry Ford was a piece of 19th century garbage that caused a century long problem...
@@acur-un8xq Agreed. As much as I see the changing revolution I had challenged a Tesla guy to a race in my 2014 Toyota Camry. It was a distance race, I could get there in one tank (400 miles) but there were no Tesla superchargers on the route.
They’re just following procedures and letting everyone voice their complaints and concerns. That takes time. Most of the main issues have already been resolved, like water usage or the foundations as mentioned in the video. Although I believe that had more to do with the soil composition being different than initially expected and requiring a different type because of that.
@@Leicht_Sinn Corruption is key. Nobody can be THAT Incompetent. But giving money to your pals for over 10 years for working on the airport... That is a masterpiece.
Well they constructed the smoke extracter system wrongly. So the finished airport never got approved by the authorities. One of the reasons is corruption. Another one is the one guy in charge who faked his degree and wasn't an expert. And then there were changes made in the layout of the airport, even though construction already started. The only good news is that the airport officially opens end of this month :).
fjellyo32 yes that was an exaggeration on my side, I live in Berlin myself and totally see the things that went wrong there... Really looking forward to its opening on the 31th 😁
I don't have a doubt in my mind Tesla will become the best manufacturing company in the world. They are learning so fast and applying the new discoveries even faster.
TSLA is AMZN/AAPL in car market space. It only come once in every generation/decade. The price of stock will go beyond amazon , faster than amazon itself since there's no competitor that has capital to build infrastructure, cost effective battery, fully automous technology, and Elon front frontier leadership. So if you haven't own Tsla stock, buy everydip you can get and simply add more everytime you have more money to invest.
@@veduci22 more like investing in the wrong technologies. What dooms companies is becoming obsolete and irrelevant. When it's going good you can absorb excess and inefficiency. When you're a dinosaur it is the tar pits for you then though.
If they're "pre-fab" can the parts be sold/disassembled for use elsewhere? Is someone keeping an international inventory about what is, what can be, and what not to consider while a unit is still in use?
That's OK because within a decade you won't be able to buy an ICE vehicle anyways, and although you may not actually ever outright buy a Tesla you will still purchase something one day that uses a Tesla battery or derivative product
I love these videos but my only issues are that they are not long enough or detailed enough. I'd love to see a 20-30 minute long video about this. Even if it was a second channel more podcast style thing with less focus on visuals. More of a slide show with discussion and a walk through the construction process. This video is super cool but doesn't actually say much about how it's actually being built, it's such an overview and I come away wanting more on this topic
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a type of technology that creates digital models of buildings and project sites. Architects, engineers, and contractors use VDC models to visualize and plan building designs, processes, schedules, budgets, and more. VDC technology allows companies to analyze construction plans from start to finish before breaking ground.
@1:31, unfortunately this is incorrect. Having worked as one of the Senior Factory Design Managers at Tesla on a few of the Gigafactories, I can tell you there is no such template that the company uses to avoid reinventing the wheel, nor is there any such Design Manual (in fact, I was on the Reno team that proposed early on to create that manual). Quite the opposite, every new site is a new opportunity to re-optimize absolutely everything from the industrial layout of the plant, the manufacturing process design, down to the building itself and all the utility distribution systems (power, compressed air, gases, other chemicals, chilled/heated water systems, etc.). Of course, there are "lessons-learnt" that carry over from one project to the next, but surprisingly very very little is common between the Sparks/Reno, Shanghai, Berlin, and Austin factories (let alone the Fremont factory and other sites in NorCal). Templatizing is honestly not at all a contributing factor to the company's speed of deploying new production facilities. Such an approach would be very contrary to Elon's and the company's "first principles" approach to problem solving. You are correct that prefabrication is used as one of the schedule relief methods, but there's nothing revolutionary here, all companies have access to the same prefab techniques, so this is hardly an advantage that Tesla has over any other manufacturers in the world. Also, it is not necessarily the case that prefab will be used on all Tesla projects. This is chosen on a site-by-site basis, and is related to the overall schedule constraints, which varies greatly from one factory to another (a complete supply chain analysis dictates here). The company's secret is in its culture. I know that sounds vague, but the company's biggest strength is in how in-tune Elon himself and his top COs are with the details on the ground and in the design/planning process, and in the team's ability to pivot on a dime with a simple email from Elon, it's unlike anything you've ever seen how effectively a change in direction cascades down through the management ranks (perhaps outside of non-conventional military organizations - like guerilla groups), I think that is 100% the company's biggest advantage. That, and having the courage/technique to effectively put pressure on the biggest bottlenecks in a construction project: the regulatory/permitting process.
Setting aside other concers about the company, as a German, it is in fact remarkable at what speed they've built in Berlin. Usually German bureaucracy is pretty slow at approving these kind of projects.
This is because they are already building without having all the permits
The "bureaucracy" is the sum of all processes of consideration with environment, fairness, competition, past ownerships, employees, safety, stake holders, etc. etc. ... I'm happy for the result, even though personally the process can be painful & annoying at times.

If you've ever been to any of its gigafactories ...it actually DOESN'T build its factories quickly. It builds in stages, and designs the next stage of upscaling with each iteration/stage of expansion.
Hey Fred and Co! Keep up the great content!
Before I opened the video, I guessed they 3D printed it!
I watch this channel so much I started to get youtube ads about construction software lol
Hey guys, first of all, very informative and good video!
And second, can you do a video, about reconstructions of old and destroyed buildings in germany?
For example, the oldtown in Frankfurt or in Dresden or the Berliner Schloss in Berlin? It would be great and it is an interesting topic.
Great respect for the workers on the construction site. They work like bees. Well done keep it up
What a great idea for a video! Your content about specific projects are always great but I've really enjoyed your breakdowns of engineering techniques, processes and tools used to realize the projects in general. I'd very much enjoy a video about engineering solutions for architecture preservation - be it preserving very old buildings / bridges or bringing decades old structures up to modern standards (wink wink)
Tesla was flying their floors (battery trays) for the cars across the country to our facility to be processed and fly them back to Cali. That only lasted just about a year until they could build a completely new line for themselves.
He's like a modern day Henry Ford
He is waaaaay beyond Henry Ford
Like a modern day Leonardo Da Vinci.
Henry Ford shut down Nikola Tesla's ideas by arguing we don't need electric motors for cars when we already have "perfectly good" internal combustion engines. Henry Ford put the world into over a century of burning fossils for passenger vehicles. Henry Ford is the worst offender in the ICE disease that has lasted 'til 2020 and finally after a century, a cure is found and ICE will be dead within a decade.
I used to be a "petrolhead" until I realized I've been lied to by big oil big auto since birth. Now I am just a performance EV enthusiast, a powerhead/electrohead of you will...Henry Ford was a piece of 19th century garbage that caused a century long problem...

Agreed. As much as I see the changing revolution I had challenged a Tesla guy to a race in my 2014 Toyota Camry. It was a distance race, I could get there in one tank (400 miles) but there were no Tesla superchargers on the route.
Quick answer: Thinking in 1st principles throughout the organization allowed them to optimize every part of the process
"Tesla" is not a car maker!
"Tesla" is a technology company!
It’s transforming into a global energy company.
Tesla is a car maker bro
The boring company is a technology company
@@rokky9162 It's just like saying that Apple is a phone maker or that Amazon is a book seller company.
@@gliga841 If Apple stop making phones they are in trouble. If Telsa stop making cars they are in trouble. If Amazon stop selling books...

"Inhabited Continent"
Yo Antarctic factory gonna be lit.
I wonder what's stopping the government from giving them the final permits.
They’re just following procedures and letting everyone voice their complaints and concerns. That takes time. Most of the main issues have already been resolved, like water usage or the foundations as mentioned in the video. Although I believe that had more to do with the soil composition being different than initially expected and requiring a different type because of that.

Love him or hate him, Elon Musk is a Genius!!
Efficient! I like this guy... I was on the fence but the more info, the more I appreciate his brain.
„Germany‘s construction sector as a leader in offsite“... and this while the nearby Airport is due to open for over 10 years now...
well many incompetent politics where involed and really made stupid decison which later came back hard
@@Leicht_Sinn Corruption is key. Nobody can be THAT Incompetent. But giving money to your pals for over 10 years for working on the airport... That is a masterpiece.
Well they constructed the smoke extracter system wrongly. So the finished airport never got approved by the authorities. One of the reasons is corruption. Another one is the one guy in charge who faked his degree and wasn't an expert. And then there were changes made in the layout of the airport, even though construction already started. The only good news is that the airport officially opens end of this month :).
fjellyo32 yes that was an exaggeration on my side, I live in Berlin myself and totally see the things that went wrong there... Really looking forward to its opening on the 31th 😁
@@iwankazlow2268 yep there has to be corruption but nobody ever really adressed that in german media.
He is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will, that's why.
This sounds like an ad for Tesla.
They have a factory factory
Not a very in-depth explanation on how they are built so quickly.
Considering the length of the Video it had an insane information density
@@alexanderkopke2420 Really? You think so, I don't.
I don't have a doubt in my mind Tesla will become the best manufacturing company in the world. They are learning so fast and applying the new discoveries even faster.
Funny how Musk says such good things about the German construction sector while all German megaprojects are delayed and overpriced.
TSLA is AMZN/AAPL in car market space. It only come once in every generation/decade. The price of stock will go beyond amazon , faster than amazon itself since there's no competitor that has capital to build infrastructure, cost effective battery, fully automous technology, and Elon front frontier leadership. So if you haven't own Tsla stock, buy everydip you can get and simply add more everytime you have more money to invest.
How Tesla Builds Its Factories So Quickly
Spoiler: They spend a lot of money.
In the future: How Tesla shuts down their factories so quickly?
Answer: Trade unions. :D
@@veduci22 more like investing in the wrong technologies. What dooms companies is becoming obsolete and irrelevant. When it's going good you can absorb excess and inefficiency. When you're a dinosaur it is the tar pits for you then though.
If they're "pre-fab" can the parts be sold/disassembled for use elsewhere? Is someone keeping an international inventory about what is, what can be, and what not to consider while a unit is still in use?
I am really intersted in Tesla’s technologies and inovations but have no interest in purchasing their cars
That's okay, they have plenty of demand for their vehicles.
@@KabzieMusic so much so that they NEVER stopped being rescourse and production constrained. they cant make them fast enough to meet demand!
That's OK because within a decade you won't be able to buy an ICE vehicle anyways, and although you may not actually ever outright buy a Tesla you will still purchase something one day that uses a Tesla battery or derivative product
In future maybe
@@marcozolo3536 Do you really believe ICE cars will go the way of the dinosaurs this fast? Get real.
I love these videos but my only issues are that they are not long enough or detailed enough. I'd love to see a 20-30 minute long video about this. Even if it was a second channel more podcast style thing with less focus on visuals. More of a slide show with discussion and a walk through the construction process. This video is super cool but doesn't actually say much about how it's actually being built, it's such an overview and I come away wanting more on this topic
Agreed. Would love more details.
imagine if tesla goes into construction
I all ways look in my notifications specifically for B1M videos
Most valued car maker - yeah only because it’s valued too highly
How do you manage to constantly deliver high quality videos 😮👌
Volkswagen is scared ...
This video is going to do well
This video is bland ... perhaps an introductory to a more expansive one.
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a type of technology that creates digital models of buildings and project sites. Architects, engineers, and contractors use VDC models to visualize and plan building designs, processes, schedules, budgets, and more. VDC technology allows companies to analyze construction plans from start to finish before breaking ground.
You can do everything as quickly as you want with money.
@1:31, unfortunately this is incorrect. Having worked as one of the Senior Factory Design Managers at Tesla on a few of the Gigafactories, I can tell you there is no such template that the company uses to avoid reinventing the wheel, nor is there any such Design Manual (in fact, I was on the Reno team that proposed early on to create that manual). Quite the opposite, every new site is a new opportunity to re-optimize absolutely everything from the industrial layout of the plant, the manufacturing process design, down to the building itself and all the utility distribution systems (power, compressed air, gases, other chemicals, chilled/heated water systems, etc.). Of course, there are "lessons-learnt" that carry over from one project to the next, but surprisingly very very little is common between the Sparks/Reno, Shanghai, Berlin, and Austin factories (let alone the Fremont factory and other sites in NorCal). Templatizing is honestly not at all a contributing factor to the company's speed of deploying new production facilities. Such an approach would be very contrary to Elon's and the company's "first principles" approach to problem solving.
You are correct that prefabrication is used as one of the schedule relief methods, but there's nothing revolutionary here, all companies have access to the same prefab techniques, so this is hardly an advantage that Tesla has over any other manufacturers in the world. Also, it is not necessarily the case that prefab will be used on all Tesla projects. This is chosen on a site-by-site basis, and is related to the overall schedule constraints, which varies greatly from one factory to another (a complete supply chain analysis dictates here).
The company's secret is in its culture. I know that sounds vague, but the company's biggest strength is in how in-tune Elon himself and his top COs are with the details on the ground and in the design/planning process, and in the team's ability to pivot on a dime with a simple email from Elon, it's unlike anything you've ever seen how effectively a change in direction cascades down through the management ranks (perhaps outside of non-conventional military organizations - like guerilla groups), I think that is 100% the company's biggest advantage. That, and having the courage/technique to effectively put pressure on the biggest bottlenecks in a construction project: the regulatory/permitting process.
