IT Home news on April 4, Tesla has officially opened the Berlin Gigafactory on March 22, and has completed the first batch of Model Y deliveries.
So, there will definitely be small partners who are curious about how Tesla's Model Y produced in the new factory in Germany is different from the model produced in China. Now there is a European YouTuber to bring you a comparison video, let's take a look at the difference between the Model Y made in Germany and the one made in Shanghai.
IT Home learned that before March 22, almost all Model Y cars in Europe were imported from China, which also affected Tesla's delivery volume in China.
YouTuber @Nico PQ now has a brand new Tesla Model Y High Performance Edition, which is said to be the 22nd customer car produced at the Berlin factory, and delivered and signed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself, coincidentally he also happens to have a model Y long-endurance version from the Shanghai Gigafactory in China.
Nico explained that some of the changes on the new performance model are not only because it was made in Germany, but also upgraded in some details. He also stressed that Tesla has made similar changes to the new high-performance version produced in China, but unfortunately he only has a long-endurance version.
As shown in the figure, the new Model Y High Performance Edition features a heat-enabled windshield wiper and a new version of the cleaning fluid nozzle.
He believes that both cars are of first-class quality in terms of manufacturing quality, but he also points out that there was initially a problem with the installation of the driver's side doors of the German-made Model Y, but later adjusted. It's even more interesting to compare the two Model Ys with some of the models made at Tesla's Fremont factory.
Nico also showed us the more detailed sections, and he also brought a tape measure to measure. He said the two electric crossovers are extremely similar in almost every way. Inside, for example, the new Model Y features a larger camera lens, softer door panel material, a new cargo hatch, and a new AMD Ryzen™ processor. However, previous revelations indicate that models produced at the Shanghai factory will also upgrade AMD Ryzen™ processors.
In addition, @ruanyf released aerial videos of his Berlin Gigafactory. Shoot in the order of the Model Y production line at Tesla's Berlin factory, i.e. stamping- die-casting- welding- painting- final assembly- PDI inspection area.
Judging from the video, there are very few assembly line workers in Tesla factories, and the precision links are all robot automation. It is reported that the stamping machine in the most difficult, the technical difficulty is very high, you can take a look at it together.
