I have a model Y. When I went to the dealership (3 days after ordering it using the Tesla app) the car was already waiting for us. In less than five minutes the salesman gave us the key card. I have a background in automotive body repair, sales and mechanics. I walked around the car and checked it, and to end, top to bottom and check the alignment and fitment of all the body panels,, etc. I found absolutely no flaws whatsoever. I saw that the factory that built it was in Texas. We purchased the dual motor, long range; with the more expensive pearl white paint, and the seven row seats. We’ve had them vehicle now for a few weeks, and my opinion of it is that it is absolutely amazing in every way!
Sorry, but I don’t believe you one bit when you say there are no alignment panel fit (gap) issues. Sure, Tesla has come a long way with quality checks and have improved, but they still have quality issues. How would I know? I just picked up a 2024 MYP a few weeks ago and the hood is misaligned and small scratches to the hood on delivery. 🤷🏻
I've done hundreds of Cmp Contracts including factory robotics and other things. I expect to show off those skill but eventually get on the AI team and Optimus. We'll see.
"Body in white" just refers to the car primarily before there are any cosmetics such as carpet, seats etc in the car. The term comes from when the car is coated in primer, which is white. So it can really refer to any part of the process from the whole frame assembly up to when it is being installed with all the interior pieces.
White body is an unpainted car, like a white canvas. The surfacer (primer) can be all sorts of colours, even white cars usually use an offwhite surfacer.
I heard that it is from a now obsolete practice that this first primer was always white and it made it easier to inspect for flaws in welding and fitting.
For anyone curious, theres nothing special about the assembly process this mirrors the assembly line for most Body on Frame vehicles pretty closely actually. -Manufacturing Engineer for a body on frame vehicle in the US
That's what I was curious about when I clicked. How is Tesla's manufacturing process any different than traditional processes. Besides the the battery and the engine it didn't seem different, but there wasn't much of an explanation.
At 4:12 it appears that you are showing seats being attached after the body frame and structural battery pack are already fitted together. You can see the frunk hood and top pillars as the seats are being installed. How can the hood be in view before the seats are installed?
some of the stock video used shows the original (not structural battery) version of the Model Y assembly. All a bit confusing and not up to high standards of editing!

@@JonStallworth Blake is right, they don’t build a car in 30 seconds, it may take hours for it to get to the end, but they are producing a finished product every 30 seconds
You asked the question regarding ordering a Tesla and not being on a waitlist. On October 2, 2022 I bit the bullet and had ordered a Model Y performance from Tesla’s site, and was on the road with the car in less than a week. Delivery was October 8, 2022. Six days from drunken impulse order to new car.
The structural battery pack bit is messed up... You're showing seats bring bolted to the floor from inside the car while on the next shot your correctly show the battery pack with seats already bolted on being inserted from under the chassis (which is correct). The structural battery pack, with seats attached, is inserted from bellow to a chassis with an open floor.
"Body in white" is the 1st stage after its 1st "coating" dip. Wikipedia: "The bodies were painted white prior to the final color. A folk etymology for "body in white" is the appearance of a car body after it is dipped into a white bath of primer (undercoat paint)- despite the primer's actual gray color"
2:04 "in white' is a term borrowed from the furnituremaking trades, where a 'white' piece of furniture is one that has been sanded, filled and prepped for finishing, but not yet had any finish applied to it. The wood usually has a white appearance, unless your work in teak or mahogany etc. a lot.
I grew up in the 1960’s. You ordered your car as car lots were small. Options included, power windows(most cars were toll up), power brakes, power steering. Air conditioning, no power seats, am radio, am/fm etc. arrival time 6 weeks. If you order a MB, BMW, etc., around 6 weeks. My new 2017 model X was 6 weeks all the way to Hawaii. Tesla continues to grow with gas car production down.
My new tesla was missing parts upon delivery! The panels inside the cars popped out, i glass was chipped, chairs were out of whack, noises in the back of car, faster surely did not mean well made. Needed to bring the car back to be fixed….. crazy…. Its not how fast. Its the quality. Then look at rolls royce they are hand built and slow as helllll…. But its built to last at the highest quality.
Its not an equivalent metric unless your factory is identical in the amount of production lines. They also make cars faster than one per 30 seconds, the factory doesn't operate for 365 days per year due to Holidays and it doesn't produce cars 24 hours per day, there is a maintenance period.
02:55 white color is not the easiest and cheapest on Tesla, it’s a multy coat white pearl, it’s a free to customer and more expensive than non multi coat colors for Tesla
It's more expensive in terms of processes and materials to put on the car compared to black, blue, and midnight silver, but the relatively few customer complaints about the condition of the white paint on delivery makes it the cheapest overall, as each customer-rejected car costs a lot more in terms of Tesla employee time. White simply hides defects a lot better than darker colors, which Tesla quickly quantified and addressed based on data they collected from initially offering black as the cheapest color. Currently, the no-cost option for customers is midnight silver metallic (MSM), because it is still relatively low in customer complaints compared to black or blue, it's cheaper than red or white to apply, and it will hopefully diversify the fleet of Teslas on the road, as white was becoming unbearably ubiquitous.
If the marxists in democrat clothing who control California get their way Teslas will be built in Nevada or Texas or some other state. Democrats hate the free market/voluntary exchange.
They need to control the quality of car assembly line. My model Y (from TX factory) has so many assembly issues. At least 5 body gaps that the service center can't fix (front fender, trunk hatch, ...), I have to bring my car to body shop to fix it. I don't know how many that I missed under the body.
Correction: you said most of the stamped body panels are aluminum. On the model Y, only the door skins and hood are aluminum. The fenders, quarter panels, rear hatch, basically the entire body, are made of steel.
You show seats being inserted to a completed body through the doorways, and then you show the seats mounted to the structural battery pack while the body is lowered onto it! Well, which is it? LRYs don't have a front gigacasting nor a structural battery pac!
Elon said he's not going to make the smaller cheaper compact car for under $25k a year or 2 ago in his quarterly review. He said this because it will not help his company but hurt it. By the time there is tesla Taxi's that perfectly drive themselves, there will be no point in making the smaller compact car, or even any other vehicle except the semi. Even though he did mentioned again that a team was again working on the smaller car and it may be possibly available to pre-order in 2025, the only way this will happen is if he makes new giga factories so he has the room to create more and new types of vehicles, and will only happen if the Autonomous driving isn't completely ready and still has too many bugs to work out or the government will not let fully driverless Autonomous vehicles drive themselves everywhere yet by around 2025-2027. Then possibly they will introduce a newer vehicle to the mix. It costs the company too much to add a new vehicle to the line up. Even if this happens, it will most likely cost over $30,000. And with the economy going in the wrong direction, it doesn't look bright for the new compact under $25k car. But who knows right, we all know Elon's timelines are overreaching and usually happens 3 years after the date to expect this exciting new vehicle, just like the Cybertruck or Tesla Semi. I myself am highly invested in Tesla, and only hope the company well. Tesla started this Electric revolution with super quality drive trains, I hope it continues to Dominate in the distant future and also on the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Elon is perceived by many to an out of touch douché bag. In my circle of family and friends 4 cars that were going Tesla’s way are lost. Whether this plays to the bottom line and your investment remains to be seen. I love my Y that was built in Austin late summer. Elon needs to understand that his success has been subsidized by policy only supported because enough people in our democracy continue to vote for democrats. His “vote R up and down the ticket” is an insane statement in todays MAGA climate denial conspiracy theory ridden party that have fought against EV and solar for 50 years. Carter put solar panels on the White House and planned investment green tech. Reagan shut it down. Fully industry supported policy of decreasing fleet MPG were reversed by Trump. The guy needs to understand he can truly hurt his companies. I sold Tesla at 300 and not sure when I might buy back in. Muzzling Elon a bit is going to have to follow his preposterous failure at Twitter. I am strongly supportive of the EV competition at this point. My second EV WILL NOT BE A TESLA.
@Yvon Q. hydrogen cars won't be a huge thing any time soon, sorry, too expensive to create it, it would cost too much to have hydrogen stations everywhere. Electric cars are the future for the next 100+ years, every 5 to 10 years we'll figure out a safer more energy dense battery to mass create after extensive testing. This is the future for vehicles...period. I wouldn't want a vehicle full of hydrogen in an accident, huge explosion possible, electric cars have slower burn times for damaged batteries, you can safely exit your vehicle way before it catches you on fire. Plus, I like the idea of free overnight slow charging my car with my solar/battery storage system much better than looking for a hydrogen station that won't exist everywhere in probably.....never, maybe moon base? Mars colony? Good luck with your hydrogen dreams though!
@Yvon Q. I hope you feel better for trolling. Maybe after you learn a bit more, then come back and debate with me. You only have tiny bits of facts. You must look at the whole picture and not only your own opinion. Besides, I don't have time for you right now. Find someone else to talk trash to.
I'm not sure if I'll ever own a new electric car. I would buy one immedietely if they did not use dangerous lithium batteries, and forced WiFi technology. I can't understand why an electric car, also has to be a computer operating system, with auto-updates turned on. We all know how annoying auto updates. Updates are not something you should force on someone, because ultimately it means that the person does not actually own the product. A product that you own, should not be allowed to be tampered with, and there should not be the ability for someone with WiFi to push a button and destroy your operating system on your vehicle. I could be confused, but my understanding is that Tesla basically forces people to update their car's computer system constantly, with regular updates. I don't think you are even legally allowed to opt out of this. That means, they could limit your range, or shut down your car while you're in bed sleeping, through your WiFi connection. It's not right, it's wrong on principle. I hope that they build electric cars in the future that are more simple. For example, a 1993 Tercel. They need to make an electric equivalent to that, without a fancy touch screen computer or digital gauges, etc. This would bring the cost way, way down. Ultimately I think an EV conversion might be the chepeast option here in the future, as the cost of used parts is going to be so low, it will be almost free to get used motors and batteries? I suspect that at some point, you'll be able to do an electric conversion on an old vehicle for a fraction of the cost of a new EV. When battery technology is sufficient, you'll be able to replace the gasoline tank on a car with a battery pack, to get the same amount of range as the gasoline car.
Porsche Panamera 3.32 seconds! Value $100K plus, Tesla 30sec value $50K = Do the maths Tesla is hugely profitable..the record is Nissan Micra one car every 28 seconds, Sunderland factory UK, value $15K..
Great video but slight slip up on the seat instal, currently there are two versions of the car, one gets the seats installed into the car, the newest version with the structural pack has the seats installed to the pack then as a unit
This is the most straightforward explanation of the production process I've seen. It would be good to see the segments in actual time -- not sped up -- but there may be time constraints and your audience's attention span to consider. Thanks for not obscuring the subject of the video with your face every 5 seconds (see "What's Inside?").
How long does it take you to research for one video? Is it just online research? All your videos explaining processes are surprisingly accurate which isn’t easy to do with your own online research so I’m curious how efficient your research process is. That’s a good skill to have
Although from a manufacturing and production perspective Tesla’s approach w/ the Giga Press for quick automation is certainly a marvel, for the consumer end it’s not as great (quite frankly pretty bad) because it makes maintenance all that more expensive. Less parts => bigger parts that need to be replaced when damaged => more money from the consumer
It’s safer a car that is in an accident that is capable of damaging the frame is going to get repaired by first pulling the frame back in place using chains then cutting and welding a new piece on the frame the frame loses a lot of life in this process and it will never be the same in another accident
Google: Why it is called as body in white? The bodies were painted white prior to the final color. A folk etymology for "body in white" is the appearance of a car body after it is dipped into a white bath of primer (undercoat paint)- despite the primer's actual gray color.
that was a really good video, thanks for doing all the work :) --> 2030 (no waiting list) - was hoping you would show an example of the 30 second production: a clock ticking with a split screen showing the production steps...
I drove by the Texas factory last week. The place is still under construction! Cranes everywhere. Yet they have produced 1000s of cars there already. Crazy.
I notice there is a seam in the carpet on one side. That needs to be fixed. It makes the car seem cheaply made, plus the quality of material they use for their carpets is really cheap and doesn't exude the standard for a car at their price points.
Very good review of Tesla car manufacturing revolutionary accomplishments. Wall Street should dump the naysayers advising them and smell the roses. It's only just begun.
Maybe they should take 45 seconds and actually build something that lines up all the way around. The "naysayers" are just people who don't slob off musk, otherwise known as logical people. If u think a company that makes a .0 % of their competition n are more valuable then every one of their competition combined you're a sucker. Just a giant stock sham is all this company is
We kill to live and live to die.If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose. We must explore the lands beyond the ice wall and center of our Plane directly under Polaris at Magnetic North to see if Hyperborea exists and if there is a portal out of this no win situation.
It's a transposition of a familiar idea from software engineering (a lot of Musk's thinking comes from his background as a dev from what I can see): where there is no code there are no bugs. Obviously this doesn't mean no code at all, but that, if a requirement can be met with no part / code / process, then the payoff in terms of complexity, reliability and cost is significant. Seems obvious but the natural tendency when working on a large project with many teams is to accumulate phantom requirements which don't stem from the target system's goal itself but the interoperability between the teams and siloing of optimisation within each team. So he stresses first widening the scope of optimisation to the requirement space ("the requirements are stupid, question them"), and then refactoring the design with the goal of eliminating complexity that wasn't actually required for the system goal ("the best part is no part"), and only then optimising the remaining parts / processes, otherwise a lot of energy is spent for marginal gains on a part that shouldn't exist in the first place.
@@Jspath3 I could afford to buy a new car. But the modely variant I want is a little to steep for my comfort. With fsd I could buy it without fsd but I don't want to have to buy fsd after they raise the price again.
Likely more with painting. But that’s not the message. He’s not saying end-to-end in 30s, rather another finished car rolls off the line every 30s. Big difference.
Does this explain why there are so many quality control issues like panel gaps, bad/thin paint? Regardless, I'm still getting one because gas cost too much yearly now and I drive a lot lol
@@macavalli2619 not sure I’d completely agree. Some of that depends on definitions, I think. For instance, is that across all factories combined or any given factory, as is described here? Either way, come back in ten years and let’s see where Toyota is. If they don’t get off their laurels very very soon, they will be left behind like Kodak and Blockbuster.
Tesla only 2 cars per minute... look another brands: The top 5 included General Motors with 13 cars per minute and Ford with 12.2 cars per minute. Next come Nissan (11), Honda (10), Fiat-Chrysler (8.8), Renault (7.9) and Peugeot-Citroen (6.9).
@@jaredscott4829 no one is claiming to make a car end-to-end in 30s or 45s. Their exit rate (throughput), the rate at which cars come off the line, is what is being discussed here. This is a lean six sigma term. What others are talking about would be called in lean terms the Process Cycle Time. These two terms are related through a formula that also accounts for the number of things currently in the process, or Work In Process. PCT = WIP / Exit Rate. All the efficiencies you hear about that Tesla is making helps to ensure they have no bottle necks so their exit rate = their start rate. If they can increase their exit rate (and start rate) while maintaining their WIP, their process cycle time will go down - more cars delivered to customers in same amount of time.
@@jeffpicken5057 yeah that's nonsense, the number claimed is irrelevant. More concurrent production lines, makes the number go down, essentially meaningless. By the same pointless metric, Hyundai Ulsan is spitting out a car every 16 seconds...
@@jaredscott4829 Sure, build more and more production lines at the cost of billions or reduce the cost of fewer production lines by building with fewer parts, fewer robots, fewer people, less materials all the while increasing quality over time and increasing margins.

Question How about a comparison and contrast between Tesla, Ford, GM, Chevy, Toyda, etc company to company and best factory to best factory and avg factory to average factory. I would LIVE ton see how Tesla compares to the other major world players.
I'm so looking forward to Elons new ' model 2 ' which hopefully won't be to long arriving in uk , unfortunately unable to purchase a model 3 due to cost so hopefully I can join the growing public in owning a new model 2 and the Tesla Family!!
To be more accurate, the car is out together in 30 seconds on average. Collectively from cutting to stamping to paint to install, it’s actually a lot longer.
This video is selling me a Tesla. 1. Electric 2. Emphasis on Efficiency 3. Robotics 4. Reduce moving parts 5. Reproduce the models that work and do not make meaningless cosmetic changes every year… I’m starting to see a car as an appliance. The main purpose of any appliance is that it works efficiently and reliably for a long time. Whereas style has some importance it should not be the driving force for model changes every year. I might just buy a Tesla because it meets those criteria.
seems rather than selling a lower-cost ev, a bigger focus on building specialized robotaxis at a higher quantity would be even more sustainable/profitable.
nah if they can mass produce a smaller more affordable car that opens them up to a massive market of people who want EV's but can't afford one. Not to mention the size of the car allows a much smaller production line footprint in their factory and less time to produce the full vehicle start to finish. The change is likely do to the much more massive demand due to rising gas costs and the multitude of people stuck with the poor investment of gas guzzlers because they can't afford to make the switch.
Exactly. Even better if taxis made to last, for refurbishment to be easy. ICE vehicles, steel shells just don’t last, are designed to be redundant, need parts. Small, low purchase cost are even worse, don’t save on running costs.
In the lutherie business (violin maker), a violin "in the white" is fully constructed but lacking in the finishing varnish, often called a "white violin". Perhaps the auto industry or at Tesla borrowed the phrase from the lutherie business. It has nothing to do with being painted white.
Funniest thing I've seen in a while. Here in Colorado, the Interstate that runs from Denver to Grand Junction (and beyond) frequently is shut down due to vehicle accidents, land slides, or snow/ice conditions. The other morning the Interstate had been closed for quite some time due to multiple accidents during a snowstorm. All the Tesla chargers were filled up at multiple locations since it being well below freezing, the cars apparently had to stay charged to be able to run their heaters. It looked so much like bunches of livestock lined up feeding. Don't know what happened to folks that came up hoping to use a charger only to find them all filled.
These vehicles are not really appropriate for people going long distances especially in extremely cold climates. They are good daily commuters perhaps. If I ever got a Cyber Truck my first accessory would be a gas generator capable of 240V that I would store in the bed under a cover.
Tesla heat-pumps can keep interiors at 65 degrees for almost two days, losing an average of 2.2 percent of its charge per hour. The Tesla app shows how many stalls are occupied before you arrive. Tesla can do 1000km in under 10 hours with normal safety breaks. Loses ~ 15% range in below zero conditions - about the same as ICE do. In the Norwegian Automobile Federation's annual EV range test, the Tesla Model S lasted for 329 miles in freezing temperatures ~ 19% loss. Another FUD busted....
Tesla "PRODUCES" a car from their factory every 30 seconds. It takes longer than that to "BUILD" a Tesla. This assembly process is tribute to the Engineers, R&D and factory workers, not just Elon. He was involved in the money but the hard work was done by others, so lets not put him on a pedestal. Tesla would be nowhere near where they are if it wwasn't for the sweat and tears of many, many people.
@@tomgeorge3726 The title is correct. Tesla does build a new car every 30 seconds, but it doesn't take 30 seconds to build a car. If you can't understand the difference, I can't teach you.
@@tomgeorge3726 the title is still correct. And to be fair I don't think anyone anywhere would think someone is making a car from start to finish in 30 secs......unless you just don't use ypur brain I guess.
If the supply exceeds demand, tesla will export more to other countries. Then also they will develop more products, like model 2 or a van. Therefore resourcing materials will be a greater constraint than delivering the cars
I don't think there will be a day when you can walk into a Tesla "store" to buy a new car because it would be an inefficient sales model with cars waiting to be purchased. I think the new sales process would be for you to order your new car online with all the options specified, then Tesla will make the car from a factory nearby and ship it directly to you.
In the past white was the most expensive color. Also white has special coating just like red. Are you sure white is the easiest the produce? My M3 from 2019 had the most expensive white color and black was the base color. During 2019 they changed this with white becoming the base color and the started charging extra for black.
The video is simply wrong here. White became the no-cost color option for several years mostly because it hides defects better than any other color offered. It is a multi-coat so it's more expensive in terms of processes and materials to put on the car compared to black, blue, and midnight silver, but the relatively few customer complaints about the condition of the paint on delivery makes it the cheapest overall, as each customer-rejected car costs a lot more in terms of Tesla employee time. Currently the no-cost option is midnight silver metallic (MSM), because it is still relatively low in customer complaints compared to black or blue, it's cheaper than red or white to apply, and it will hopefully diversify the fleet of Teslas on the road, as white was becoming unbearably ubiquitous.
30 seconds? With their build quality, that sounds about right. Say, aren't even the best chinese electric vehicles known for bursting into flame? Most expensive and quick matches ever made.
White metal is a blanket term used to refer to any combination of alloys that consist of non-precious metals. They are also sometimes known as pot metal. Thus this white metal being assembled would be refereed to as body in white.
I have a question I'm sure some of you can answer! Are Giga castings engineered such that portions can be cut out and new pieces (i.e. fenders, bumpers) attached back into the casting? Or does this mean Teslas will have a higher rate of write-offs because of the difficulty and expense of repairing a Giga casting?
It’s been said before by Munro & others, if accident impacts as deep as casting, any car would be a write-off - or should be. It’s old FUD. Best to avoid "accidents", using driving aid software etc.
@@priusnv Hi. I hope you went back to Munro type sources, don’t just take my word for it. I just selectively parrot what I read or watch, I’m no panel beater or car expert. Sandy has long advocated for Gigacastings. The Tesla FSD software is proving a great driver aid for helping to avoid many accidents, just working in the background, even before full autonomy is achieved. We are just so used to cars being crashed, we have whole industries catering for such, over last 70 odd years. Can’t stop it all, but a lot are avoidable. Crash design now focuses on protecting occupants, not on repairability. Human repair is expensive. Russians might do different maths. :-(
Whenever I hear someone say “Elon Musk didn’t start Tesla, he just bought it.” I’ll send them this video. How many gigafactories did Tesla have when he bought the company?
Pretty odd Tesla advertisement video material. No real timeline. In 2:22 the body is painted, but the painting process is shown at 2:41. The graphic model shown at 3:14 is Tesla, but the model show at 3:55 is random. The scene from 4:17 to 4:30 is complete bullshit, as it has nothing to do with the real manufacturing process. The only difference to any other car brands are (currently) the giga castings shown at 3:39.
The thumbnail is wrong: if a factory outputs a Tesla every 30 seconds, it doesn't mean it took 30 seconds to build 1 car. So 'built in 30 seconds' is a wrong text on the thumbnail.

"Body in white" just refers to the car primarily before there are any cosmetics such as carpet, seats etc in the car. The term comes from when the car is coated in primer, which is white. So it can really refer to any part of the process from the whole frame assembly up to when it is being installed with all the interior pieces.
White body is an unpainted car, like a white canvas. The surfacer (primer) can be all sorts of colours, even white cars usually use an offwhite surfacer.

You asked the question regarding ordering a Tesla and not being on a waitlist.
On October 2, 2022 I bit the bullet and had ordered a Model Y performance from Tesla’s site, and was on the road with the car in less than a week.
Delivery was October 8, 2022. Six days from drunken impulse order to new car.
The North American website states 1-2 months I read that as 4-6 weeks. It is amazing that you got it in 6 days.
@@MinecraftWarrior22 most likely from a person who reserved the same exact configuration months earlier but decided to cancel the order.
"drunken impulse order" - just be sure to be sober when driving it, it's intoxicating enough :)
I think the key on your quick delivery was that you ordered performance which is a bigger ticket item.
That was one interestingly high bender... Out did anything I and my friends ever did.
Enjoy!
The structural battery pack bit is messed up... You're showing seats bring bolted to the floor from inside the car while on the next shot your correctly show the battery pack with seats already bolted on being inserted from under the chassis (which is correct).
The structural battery pack, with seats attached, is inserted from bellow to a chassis with an open floor.
Great video, side note, Nevada had the first Giga factory, then Shanghai, Berlin, Austin... Keep up the good work, and informative videos. Thanks.
"Body in white" is the 1st stage after its 1st "coating" dip.
Wikipedia:
"The bodies were painted white prior to the final color. A folk etymology for "body in white" is the appearance of a car body after it is dipped into a white bath of primer (undercoat paint)- despite the primer's actual gray color"
2:04 "in white' is a term borrowed from the furnituremaking trades, where a 'white' piece of furniture is one that has been sanded, filled and prepped for finishing, but not yet had any finish applied to it. The wood usually has a white appearance, unless your work in teak or mahogany etc. a lot.
No wonder our 40 year old fridge has better build quality than tesla 😄
I grew up in the 1960’s. You ordered your car as car lots were small. Options included, power windows(most cars were toll up), power brakes, power steering. Air conditioning, no power seats, am radio, am/fm etc. arrival time 6 weeks. If you order a MB, BMW, etc., around 6 weeks. My new 2017 model X was 6 weeks all the way to Hawaii. Tesla continues to grow with gas car production down.
Great job. I work in the industry and we achieve 58 seconds / vehicle. 30 seconds is an awesome achievement.
My new tesla was missing parts upon delivery! The panels inside the cars popped out, i glass was chipped, chairs were out of whack, noises in the back of car, faster surely did not mean well made. Needed to bring the car back to be fixed….. crazy….
Its not how fast. Its the quality. Then look at rolls royce they are hand built and slow as helllll…. But its built to last at the highest quality.
Its not an equivalent metric unless your factory is identical in the amount of production lines. They also make cars faster than one per 30 seconds, the factory doesn't operate for 365 days per year due to Holidays and it doesn't produce cars 24 hours per day, there is a maintenance period.

02:55 white color is not the easiest and cheapest on Tesla, it’s a multy coat white pearl, it’s a free to customer and more expensive than non multi coat colors for Tesla
It's more expensive in terms of processes and materials to put on the car compared to black, blue, and midnight silver, but the relatively few customer complaints about the condition of the white paint on delivery makes it the cheapest overall, as each customer-rejected car costs a lot more in terms of Tesla employee time. White simply hides defects a lot better than darker colors, which Tesla quickly quantified and addressed based on data they collected from initially offering black as the cheapest color. Currently, the no-cost option for customers is midnight silver metallic (MSM), because it is still relatively low in customer complaints compared to black or blue, it's cheaper than red or white to apply, and it will hopefully diversify the fleet of Teslas on the road, as white was becoming unbearably ubiquitous.
All facts presented efficiently, distinctly and NO music cover up. Great!
Takes longer than 30 seconds
I live in Texas, my Model Y performance took 44 days from order to delivery, built in Freemont. Not that bad. They are definitely improving.

They need to control the quality of car assembly line. My model Y (from TX factory) has so many assembly issues. At least 5 body gaps that the service center can't fix (front fender, trunk hatch, ...), I have to bring my car to body shop to fix it. I don't know how many that I missed under the body.
Correction: you said most of the stamped body panels are aluminum. On the model Y, only the door skins and hood are aluminum. The fenders, quarter panels, rear hatch, basically the entire body, are made of steel.

Elon said he's not going to make the smaller cheaper compact car for under $25k a year or 2 ago in his quarterly review. He said this because it will not help his company but hurt it. By the time there is tesla Taxi's that perfectly drive themselves, there will be no point in making the smaller compact car, or even any other vehicle except the semi. Even though he did mentioned again that a team was again working on the smaller car and it may be possibly available to pre-order in 2025, the only way this will happen is if he makes new giga factories so he has the room to create more and new types of vehicles, and will only happen if the Autonomous driving isn't completely ready and still has too many bugs to work out or the government will not let fully driverless Autonomous vehicles drive themselves everywhere yet by around 2025-2027. Then possibly they will introduce a newer vehicle to the mix. It costs the company too much to add a new vehicle to the line up. Even if this happens, it will most likely cost over $30,000. And with the economy going in the wrong direction, it doesn't look bright for the new compact under $25k car. But who knows right, we all know Elon's timelines are overreaching and usually happens 3 years after the date to expect this exciting new vehicle, just like the Cybertruck or Tesla Semi. I myself am highly invested in Tesla, and only hope the company well. Tesla started this Electric revolution with super quality drive trains, I hope it continues to Dominate in the distant future and also on the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Elon is perceived by many to an out of touch douché bag. In my circle of family and friends 4 cars that were going Tesla’s way are lost. Whether this plays to the bottom line and your investment remains to be seen. I love my Y that was built in Austin late summer.
Elon needs to understand that his success has been subsidized by policy only supported because enough people in our democracy continue to vote for democrats. His “vote R up and down the ticket” is an insane statement in todays MAGA climate denial conspiracy theory ridden party that have fought against EV and solar for 50 years. Carter put solar panels on the White House and planned investment green tech. Reagan shut it down. Fully industry supported policy of decreasing fleet MPG were reversed by Trump.
The guy needs to understand he can truly hurt his companies. I sold Tesla at 300 and not sure when I might buy back in. Muzzling Elon a bit is going to have to follow his preposterous failure at Twitter.
I am strongly supportive of the EV competition at this point. My second EV WILL NOT BE A TESLA.
@Yvon Q. hydrogen cars won't be a huge thing any time soon, sorry, too expensive to create it, it would cost too much to have hydrogen stations everywhere. Electric cars are the future for the next 100+ years, every 5 to 10 years we'll figure out a safer more energy dense battery to mass create after extensive testing. This is the future for vehicles...period. I wouldn't want a vehicle full of hydrogen in an accident, huge explosion possible, electric cars have slower burn times for damaged batteries, you can safely exit your vehicle way before it catches you on fire. Plus, I like the idea of free overnight slow charging my car with my solar/battery storage system much better than looking for a hydrogen station that won't exist everywhere in probably.....never, maybe moon base? Mars colony? Good luck with your hydrogen dreams though!
@Yvon Q. I see arguing with someone with not enough knowledge is pointless, good luck with your future hopes and dreams
@Yvon Q. I hope you feel better for trolling. Maybe after you learn a bit more, then come back and debate with me. You only have tiny bits of facts. You must look at the whole picture and not only your own opinion. Besides, I don't have time for you right now. Find someone else to talk trash to.
I'm not sure if I'll ever own a new electric car. I would buy one immedietely if they did not use dangerous lithium batteries, and forced WiFi technology. I can't understand why an electric car, also has to be a computer operating system, with auto-updates turned on. We all know how annoying auto updates. Updates are not something you should force on someone, because ultimately it means that the person does not actually own the product. A product that you own, should not be allowed to be tampered with, and there should not be the ability for someone with WiFi to push a button and destroy your operating system on your vehicle. I could be confused, but my understanding is that Tesla basically forces people to update their car's computer system constantly, with regular updates. I don't think you are even legally allowed to opt out of this. That means, they could limit your range, or shut down your car while you're in bed sleeping, through your WiFi connection. It's not right, it's wrong on principle. I hope that they build electric cars in the future that are more simple. For example, a 1993 Tercel. They need to make an electric equivalent to that, without a fancy touch screen computer or digital gauges, etc. This would bring the cost way, way down. Ultimately I think an EV conversion might be the chepeast option here in the future, as the cost of used parts is going to be so low, it will be almost free to get used motors and batteries? I suspect that at some point, you'll be able to do an electric conversion on an old vehicle for a fraction of the cost of a new EV. When battery technology is sufficient, you'll be able to replace the gasoline tank on a car with a battery pack, to get the same amount of range as the gasoline car.

I drove by the Texas factory last week. The place is still under construction! Cranes everywhere. Yet they have produced 1000s of cars there already. Crazy.
I notice there is a seam in the carpet on one side. That needs to be fixed. It makes the car seem cheaply made, plus the quality of material they use for their carpets is really cheap and doesn't exude the standard for a car at their price points.
The way things are going, I say Tesla will be able to 3D print the entire car in the next 5 years within seconds

Very good review of Tesla car manufacturing revolutionary accomplishments. Wall Street should dump the naysayers advising them and smell the roses. It's only just begun.

"Prototyping is easy, production is hard" - Elon Musk
But... If there was "no process" and "no part" then nothing would be produced, so there has to be at least one of each. 🤔
Indeed... Getting it down to "one process" and "one part" is actually what's best... Not nothing at all. 👍
It's a transposition of a familiar idea from software engineering (a lot of Musk's thinking comes from his background as a dev from what I can see): where there is no code there are no bugs. Obviously this doesn't mean no code at all, but that, if a requirement can be met with no part / code / process, then the payoff in terms of complexity, reliability and cost is significant. Seems obvious but the natural tendency when working on a large project with many teams is to accumulate phantom requirements which don't stem from the target system's goal itself but the interoperability between the teams and siloing of optimisation within each team. So he stresses first widening the scope of optimisation to the requirement space ("the requirements are stupid, question them"), and then refactoring the design with the goal of eliminating complexity that wasn't actually required for the system goal ("the best part is no part"), and only then optimising the remaining parts / processes, otherwise a lot of energy is spent for marginal gains on a part that shouldn't exist in the first place.

@@jaredscott4829 no one is claiming to make a car end-to-end in 30s or 45s. Their exit rate (throughput), the rate at which cars come off the line, is what is being discussed here. This is a lean six sigma term. What others are talking about would be called in lean terms the Process Cycle Time. These two terms are related through a formula that also accounts for the number of things currently in the process, or Work In Process. PCT = WIP / Exit Rate. All the efficiencies you hear about that Tesla is making helps to ensure they have no bottle necks so their exit rate = their start rate. If they can increase their exit rate (and start rate) while maintaining their WIP, their process cycle time will go down - more cars delivered to customers in same amount of time.

This video is selling me a Tesla. 1. Electric 2. Emphasis on Efficiency 3. Robotics 4. Reduce moving parts 5. Reproduce the models that work and do not make meaningless cosmetic changes every year… I’m starting to see a car as an appliance. The main purpose of any appliance is that it works efficiently and reliably for a long time. Whereas style has some importance it should not be the driving force for model changes every year. I might just buy a Tesla because it meets those criteria.
seems rather than selling a lower-cost ev, a bigger focus on building specialized robotaxis at a higher quantity would be even more sustainable/profitable.
perhaps a van based on the cybertruck drivetrain?
nah if they can mass produce a smaller more affordable car that opens them up to a massive market of people who want EV's but can't afford one. Not to mention the size of the car allows a much smaller production line footprint in their factory and less time to produce the full vehicle start to finish. The change is likely do to the much more massive demand due to rising gas costs and the multitude of people stuck with the poor investment of gas guzzlers because they can't afford to make the switch.
Exactly. Even better if taxis made to last, for refurbishment to be easy. ICE vehicles, steel shells just don’t last, are designed to be redundant, need parts. Small, low purchase cost are even worse, don’t save on running costs.
In the lutherie business (violin maker), a violin "in the white" is fully constructed but lacking in the finishing varnish, often called a "white violin". Perhaps the auto industry or at Tesla borrowed the phrase from the lutherie business. It has nothing to do with being painted white.
Funniest thing I've seen in a while. Here in Colorado, the Interstate that runs from Denver to Grand Junction (and beyond) frequently is shut down due to vehicle accidents, land slides, or snow/ice conditions. The other morning the Interstate had been closed for quite some time due to multiple accidents during a snowstorm. All the Tesla chargers were filled up at multiple locations since it being well below freezing, the cars apparently had to stay charged to be able to run their heaters. It looked so much like bunches of livestock lined up feeding. Don't know what happened to folks that came up hoping to use a charger only to find them all filled.
These vehicles are not really appropriate for people going long distances especially in extremely cold climates. They are good daily commuters perhaps. If I ever got a Cyber Truck my first accessory would be a gas generator capable of 240V that I would store in the bed under a cover.
Tesla heat-pumps can keep interiors at 65 degrees for almost two days, losing an average of 2.2 percent of its charge per hour.
The Tesla app shows how many stalls are occupied before you arrive.
Tesla can do 1000km in under 10 hours with normal safety breaks. Loses ~ 15% range in below zero conditions - about the same as ICE do.
In the Norwegian Automobile Federation's annual EV range test, the Tesla Model S lasted for 329 miles in freezing temperatures ~ 19% loss.

I don't think there will be a day when you can walk into a Tesla "store" to buy a new car because it would be an inefficient sales model with cars waiting to be purchased. I think the new sales process would be for you to order your new car online with all the options specified, then Tesla will make the car from a factory nearby and ship it directly to you.
Using Henry Ford’s philosophy!
Production issues???
In the past white was the most expensive color. Also white has special coating just like red.
Are you sure white is the easiest the produce?
My M3 from 2019 had the most expensive white color and black was the base color. During 2019 they changed this with white becoming the base color and the started charging extra for black.
The video is simply wrong here. White became the no-cost color option for several years mostly because it hides defects better than any other color offered. It is a multi-coat so it's more expensive in terms of processes and materials to put on the car compared to black, blue, and midnight silver, but the relatively few customer complaints about the condition of the paint on delivery makes it the cheapest overall, as each customer-rejected car costs a lot more in terms of Tesla employee time. Currently the no-cost option is midnight silver metallic (MSM), because it is still relatively low in customer complaints compared to black or blue, it's cheaper than red or white to apply, and it will hopefully diversify the fleet of Teslas on the road, as white was becoming unbearably ubiquitous.
great presentation!
The two best companies in the world , Apple and Tesla both owe their success to manufacturing in China.
At a rate of 1 car per 30 seconds, that equates to just over 1 million cars per year.
For just one factory, that is mighty impressive.
30 seconds? With their build quality, that sounds about right. Say, aren't even the best chinese electric vehicles known for bursting into flame? Most expensive and quick matches ever made.
I see the panel vibrating when dropped in the stamping machine and the mood stamps it. Now I see why there’s quality issues.
White metal is a blanket term used to refer to any combination of alloys that consist of non-precious metals. They are also sometimes known as pot metal. Thus this white metal being assembled would be refereed to as body in white.
I have a question I'm sure some of you can answer! Are Giga castings engineered such that portions can be cut out and new pieces (i.e. fenders, bumpers) attached back into the casting? Or does this mean Teslas will have a higher rate of write-offs because of the difficulty and expense of repairing a Giga casting?
It’s been said before by Munro & others, if accident impacts as deep as casting, any car would be a write-off - or should be. It’s old FUD. Best to avoid "accidents", using driving aid software etc.

Whenever I hear someone say “Elon Musk didn’t start Tesla, he just bought it.” I’ll send them this video. How many gigafactories did Tesla have when he bought the company?
So what makes it giga?
Excellent recall & update of the Tesla Saga!!!
Pretty odd Tesla advertisement video material. No real timeline. In 2:22 the body is painted, but the painting process is shown at 2:41.
The graphic model shown at 3:14 is Tesla, but the model show at 3:55 is random.
The scene from 4:17 to 4:30 is complete bullshit, as it has nothing to do with the real manufacturing process.
The only difference to any other car brands are (currently) the giga castings shown at 3:39.
The Grand Turismo 5 intro suddenly started playing in my head as soon as i saw the metal press
Inaccurate description of the most revolutionary part of the process - Giga Press castings. These are incorporated in the BiW not the "skateboard."
The thumbnail is wrong: if a factory outputs a Tesla every 30 seconds, it doesn't mean it took 30 seconds to build 1 car. So 'built in 30 seconds' is a wrong text on the thumbnail.
