Tramway News: On May 6, Tesla released its 2021 Impact Report, which states that Tesla aims to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy in the world. By 2030, Tesla aims to sell 20 million electric vehicles per year, 20 times more than the annual sales of 940,000 in 2021; in terms of energy storage, Tesla plans to deploy 1500GWh, more than 370 times higher than 4GWh in 2021.
To achieve the target of 20 million annual sales, Tesla needs strong production capacity support. "The problem we face is not limited demand, but limited capacity." Musk said on a conference call.
Shanghai Gigafactory is an important global production base for Tesla, and the data shows that in 2021, Shanghai Gigafactory vehicle deliveries accounted for 51.7% of Tesla's global deliveries in 2021. Recently, Tesla has also clarified the expansion plan of the Shanghai factory. The expanded plant is expected to produce Model 3 and Model Y models, with an annual production capacity of 450,000 units. After the completion of the expansion of the new factory, it will help Tesla increase the total production capacity of the Shanghai factory to 1 million vehicles per year, becoming Tesla's "largest automobile export center" in the world.
Recently, Tesla has also built two gigafactories in a row.
On March 22, Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory in Germany was put into operation, which is planned to produce Model Y with a planned capacity of 500,000 units a year.
On April 8, Tesla's Texas Gigafactory was put into operation, and the delivery of the first batch of Model Y models has been completed, and the annual production capacity is expected to reach 500,000 vehicles.
At present, Tesla has built factories in the United States, China, and Germany, with a total annual production capacity of about 2 million vehicles, and in order to achieve the goal of annual production and sales of 20 million vehicles, Tesla's factory production capacity will be expanded by 10 times.
