Recently, a German car owner posted on the social platform: The German Tesla Model Y is poorly made, and the gaps in the vehicle's door slits, taillights and frameless glass are very large. It also released several photos of the Model Y vehicle with large gaps. Judging from the pictures released by the owner, the gaps in the vehicle, taillights and frameless glass are indeed a bit large.
In this regard, some netizens said: This is not a common disease, and it is not unusable. Some netizens said: This is the same as Lego, the precision of the abrasive is not good, and no matter how to assemble it, it is also the same.
It is understood that the Berlin factory is located in Glenhead, Brandenburg, a suburb of Berlin, and is the first gigafactory established by Tesla in Europe, the fourth gigafactory of Tesla, and the main production models are Model Y and Model 3. The plant was originally scheduled to start operations in July 2021, but due to the impact of environmental approvals and other related issues, the construction of the plant was suspended several times, and it was not officially opened until March 22 this year, in addition to the delivery of the first Tesla Model Y. According to a number of media reports, some of the current European subscribers have received their orders for model Y, which are produced in the Berlin Gigafactory.
It is worth noting that the first goal of the Berlin Gigafactory is to produce a Model Y body every 45 seconds. In addition, on the notice board of Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory, it can be seen that it reads: "Our team is supported by a large group of robots that can perform tasks such as welding, riveting and bonding car parts." With ultra-high precision and fast movement, we were able to produce a Model Y body every 45 seconds. Assuming that Tesla's initial goal is to produce a car body every 45 seconds, the annual output of the Berlin Gigafactory may be higher than 500,000 vehicles.
In addition, relevant industry insiders have calculated that if the Berlin Gigafactory produces a Model Y body every 45 seconds, the Berlin Gigafactory will produce 700,000 cars at peak capacity. Tesla Musk also said: "The Berlin factory is expected to achieve a continuous production cycle of 45 seconds. On average, it can stay up and running 75% of the time each week, and if it runs around the clock, it is about 10,000 cars produced a week. "For the speed of producing a Model Y body every 45 seconds, this production line speed is really surprising, and this speed is still difficult to ensure that the vehicle is exquisite in terms of production.
According to relevant data: Tesla's global sales in 2021 is 936172 vehicles, ranking first in the sales of electric vehicles, with the growth of Tesla's global sales, Tesla's main problem is the factory's production capacity, with the Berlin factory put into operation and delivery, perhaps for Chinese users, it means that they can pick up the car faster. Earlier, Tesla achieved production capacity in the United States Fremont factory and Shanghai gigafactory. As of the second half of 2021, the Vermont plant will no longer be delivered overseas. Tesla's demand in Europe, Asia and other places is completely supplied and produced by the Shanghai factory, and its first two months of each quarter are mainly used for exports, and the last month will be mainly used for domestic sales. Therefore, the commissioning and delivery of the Berlin factory also means that Tesla has its own production base in Europe, and it also alleviates the problems of long waiting for Chinese consumers to wait for the car.
