Audi Q6 E-Tron | 255 KM Range with a 10-Minute Charge!

Customers received the first Cybertrucks today at an event held at Tesla&#8217;s gigafactory in Austin, Texas. The automaker disclosed that in its most powerful configuration, the long-awaited and long-delayed all-electric truck would be able to tow 4,990 kg and accelerate to 96 kmh/60 mph in only 2.6 seconds.
<h2>The Tesla Cybertruck Outperforms The Porsche 911</h2>
It will also be really effective. To demonstrate, the carmaker released a video showing the Cybertruck outrunning a new 2023 Porsche 911 on a quarter-mile drag strip while pulling another 911.
The most powerful version of the truck, unladen, should be able to reach 96 kmh/ 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in less than 11 seconds. Because of its torque, it can draw a tractor pull sled further down a strip than a Ford F-350 diesel.
With its four-corner air suspension and 35-inch all-terrain tires, the truck will have 17 inches of ground clearance off the drag strip, according to Tesla, meaning there won&#8217;t be a low-hanging differential to worry about.
<h2>Overwhelming Range</h2>
It&#8217;s possible that the Cybertruck&#8217;s lackluster Cd contributes to its predicted 547 kilometers/340 miles range. Even if that is a lot, it falls short of the more than 805 kilometers/500 miles that Tesla projected in 2019. In as short as 15 minutes at a supercharger, it will be able to regain up to 219 kilometers/136 miles of range.
Only the &#8220;All-Wheel Drive&#8221; model with the greatest range is included in that number. The 2025 release of the &#8220;Rear-Wheel Drive&#8221; model will have a range of only 402 kilometers/250 miles, and it will take it 6.5 seconds to reach 96 kph/60 mph. Ultimately, the &#8220;Cyberbeast&#8221; will have a peak speed of 130 mph (209 km/h), compared to the other models&#8217; top speed of 180 kmh/112 mph. This means that it can go 515 kilometers/320 miles.

The Tesla Cybertruck Is Bulletproof And Faster Than A 911

Tesla Cybertruck is definitely the most anticipated vehicle in near history, as <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pre-order numbers</a> show. Design-wise, the long-waited all-electric pickup truck is already finished. Tesla has put Cybertruck in pre-production in late 2022. It will be out before the end of this summer, Elon Musk confirmed multiple times. But where is this popular electric pickup being made? Let&#8217;s find out!
Cybertruck is being made in Texas, United States, where Tesla&#8217;s largest factory Giga Texas stands. Tesla first began tooling for the Cybertruck in October 2022. The pilot production line was up and running in early 2023. In the last couple of months, dozens of production line robots and iDRA&#8217;s 9,000-ton giga-casting machines were delivered to Tesla. According to the automaker and its CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s statements, Cybertruck mass-production is still on track to begin sometime this summer.

<h2>How Many Cybertruck Will Be Made?</h2>
According to Tesla, Giga Texas is the only production plant for the Cybertruck. During Tesla&#8217;s 2023 Annual Shareholder Meeting, Elon Musk revealed that Tesla will produce anywhere between 250,000 to 500,000 Cybertrucks annually. Giga Texas will probably provide half of the planned Cybertruck production capacity. The other half ought to be reserved for another facility. But there are no plans for existing Tesla gigafactories to be involved in the electric pickup truck&#8217;s production. 
Tesla&#8217;s recent announcement confirms that Giga Texas currently produces 5,000 Model Ys in a single week, which translates to an annual production of 250,000 vehicles. When the Cybertruck production starts on its separate production line, the factory&#8217;s output will get closer to its initial goal of 500K.

Tesla uses the world&#8217;s largest aluminum casting machines in the world. Italy-based iDRA designed and built 9,000-ton casting tools specifically for Tesla&#8217;s Cybertruck project. In late last year, Tesla took delivery of 66 production line robots and implemented those machineries to build auto industry&#8217;s one of the most sophisticated vehicle.

Where is Tesla Cybertruck Made? | Cybertruck Production Plant

Tesla officially announced its next <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories">gigafactory</a> during its &#8216;Investor Day&#8217; in March 2023. The sixth gigafactory called Gigafactory Mexico, which is located near Monterrey, Nuevo León, is going to be the largest factory Tesla ever built. But when will it be ready to produce Tesla&#8217;s cheapest electric vehicles? Let&#8217;s find out!
It will take 12-15 months to complete the Gigafactory Mexico, according to <a href="https://www.milenio.com/politica/samuel-garcia-estima-12-15-meses-construccion-tesla">Mexican authorities</a> and Tesla&#8217;s recent statements. Based on this information, it&#8217;s safe to say that Gigafactory Mexico will be completed before the end of 2024. Tesla initially intend to beat the Giga Shanghai&#8217;s 9-month record, but it will take more time to design and engineer Tesla&#8217;s next-gen vehicle platform before putting it into the production.
The third generation vehicle architecture Tesla has been cooking up for a while will be a game-changer. Tesla will not only produce cheaper, more efficient EVs, but also produce them fast! Gigafactory Mexico will eventually be the largest car factory in the world, in terms of production output, thanks to the next-gen platform&#8217;s factory footprint reduction.
<h2>Which Tesla Cars Will Be Built in Gigafactory Mexico?</h2>
Elon Musk clearly states that Tesla&#8217;s Mexico factory will be solely responsible for the production of affordable Tesla Model 2/Q. This vehicle can be desribed as a smaller Model Y. There might be another Gigafactory in the near future for producing Tesla&#8217;s next-gen vehicles. But Tesla won&#8217;t use its already-tight production capacity in Fremont, Giga Texas, or Giga Berlin to manufacture cheaper models.
If Elon&#8217;s statements are any sign, Gigafactory Mexico is on track to be the Tesla&#8217;s largest export hub as well. Texas-based automaker plans to sell millions of Model 2/Q every year.

When Will Gigafactory Mexico Be Completed?

After Nevada state officials&#8217; confirmation, Tesla finally announced their next big factory investment at Giga Nevada today. Elon Musk&#8217;s company will invest over $3.6 billion to build Tesla&#8217;s largest EV battery cell production plant in the world.
Related Article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories">How Many Gigafactories Does Tesla Have?</a>
Giga Nevada, also known as Gigafactory 1, is somewhat of a joint venture between Japanese battery maker Panasonic and Tesla. The initial investment made in 2014. Since then, both parties spent a total of $6.2 billion to create one of the largest manufacturing sites in the United States. According to Tesla, as of today, the Giga Nevada team has successfully produced more than 7.3 billion battery cells, 1.5 million battery packs, 3.6 million drive units, and 1 million energy modules.

The next phase of this investment will cost over $3.6 billion and includes a 100 GWh 4680 cell factory, as well as the first high-volume Tesla Semi factory. Tesla has been manufacturing its in-house 4680 cells at Kato Road, California for quite sometime. This new project aims to build Tesla&#8217;s largest battery cell factory. Tesla Semi production will also be ramped up. The all-electric semi truck is currently in low-volume production at Storey County facility near Giga Nevada.

Giga Nevada is capable of producing 35 GWh of battery cells annually, which is enough to manufacture around 500K electric vehicles per year. But that is way less, not even half of what Tesla needs to put into its EVs. Because of that, LG Chem and CATL, two major battery cell suppliers of Tesla, have been shipping billions of cells to Tesla factories every year.
Texas-based EV maker is finally taking this matter into its own hands. 4680 cell manufacturing process is still in the works before reaching perfection at Kato Road. The dry-coating technique that helps Tesla reduce manufacturing costs and the environmental impact of cell production is yet to be scaled up. But there is enough time to improve before starting mass production at the new factory near Giga Nevada.
The estimated capacity of this factory will be 100 GWh, a huge capacity to produce enough batteries for 2 million electric vehicles. Tesla also has plans to build separate battery cell factories in Texas and Berlin, as well.

Tesla Investing $3.6 Billion to Build 100 GWh 4680 Cell Factory and More

Tesla has been aiming to enlarge Gigafactory Texas since the facility&#8217;s launch. But the extent of its intentions hasn&#8217;t been entirely apparent. The manufacturing capacity, surface area, and scope of the factory&#8217;s many projects are all expected to rise significantly due to the several expansion projects for which Tesla has just submitted formal documentation.
According to a report dated January 9, Tesla intends to put $770 million into building expansion projects to build additional structures covering an extra 1.4 million square feet. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation&#8217;s files contain plans for a number of initiatives. The enlargement plan calls for testing and producing battery cells, as well as producing cathodes, drive units, and die shops.
The enlargement project will eventually lead to a significant reworking of the plant&#8217;s present operations. The designated plans call for four distinct buildings, however, specifics may yet alter. Tesla has applied for the structures as &#8220;ground up and complete interior finish out of the production plant,&#8221; as new construction projects.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings show expansion costs at the Austin location
According to the filing, &#8220;Cell 1&#8221; will be the name of Tesla&#8217;s largest new building, which will be 693,093 ft2. Construction of the Cell 1 building will last from January 23, 2023, until February 12, 2024. The cost will be roughly $368 million.
The second-largest building will cost around $85 million to construct and have a surface area of 423,032 square feet. The structure, known as the &#8220;Drive Unit,&#8221; whose construction will start on February 6 and remain until January 15, 2024.
The next-largest structure is suitably dubbed &#8220;Cathode,&#8221; and assuming they are the same project, it was first reported in February when Tesla filed for up to 36 acres. Although the comparable cathode naming pattern would imply that it is, Austin Business Journal reports that it is still unclear if this is the same facility that was in a file on February 2 of last year. According to reports, Tesla started work on this project last August.
Finally, the smallest of Tesla&#8217;s four new structures, the &#8220;Cell Test Lab,&#8221; will be 2,560 square feet in size. The Cell Test Lab will cost roughly $3.7 million. Its development will take place from January 30, 2023, until August 25, 2023.
The news comes ahead of Tesla&#8217;s ambitions to begin producing the Cybertruck at its Texas site later this year. It is just the most recent in the automaker&#8217;s aspirations to expand its operations globally. With these additions, Tesla will grow its position as Central Texas&#8217; largest manufacturer while also adding essential, multi-stage production projects for the components required to make electric vehicles.

Tesla’s Prodigious Plans For Growth At Gigafactory Texas Austin

Tesla has announced the beginning of deliveries for the electric truck, which it began producing in October. On December 1, the company will have a special delivery organization at its facility in Nevada.
When Elon Musk announced the beginning of e-truck manufacturing in October, he also included this date in a tweet. This said that Pepsi delivery will begin on December 1st. But other than that, the announcement became silent once more.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
However, in this situation, Tesla appears to be sticking to its original schedule for the e-truck: For its part, the firm has officially announced via tweet the &#8220;Semi Delivery Event,&#8221; which will take place on December 1 in Giga Nevada.

Although Tesla and Panasonic jointly own the Giga Nevada battery facility, the Semi will really go into serial production in the Austin-based Gigafactory Texas. The vehicle assembly line there, however, has not yet begun production. In a brand-new structure next to Reno&#8217;s Gigafactory 1, Tesla builds up a small truck production line with a weekly capacity of five cars.
Approximately 250 Semi trucks would be produced annually. But Tesla has considerably larger ambitions for the vehicle once it moves manufacturing to the Gigafactory in Texas. The EV manufacturer disclosed that it plans to increase Tesla Semi manufacturing to 50,000 cars annually in 2024. However, it appears that the company&#8217;s production goal for 2022 is far more modest, set at 100 Semi electric vehicles.

Tesla Targets to Produce 100 Semi-Electric Trucks by 2023

Last night, Elon Musk took the stage at Tesla&#8217;s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. He officially announced that <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=tesla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a> has now produced more than 3 million electric vehicles. It was an impressive milestone for a company that struggled to reincarnate the EV industry in its early days. Elon indicated on many occasions that Tesla, for various reasons, had almost bankrupt multiple times throughout its journey.

In recent years, Tesla has made tremendous improvements in the mass production of pure electric vehicles. The Texas-based company built almost half of its total production in the last one and a half year. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Giga Shanghai</a> is the clear champion here, as the Chinese factory doubled Tesla&#8217;s production pace in less than a year. According to the latest information disclosed by the EV-maker, the Shanghai factory&#8217;s annual production capacity is around 750K. Its daily production rate will be ramped up to 2,600 vehicles before the year ends, bringing annual capacity to almost 1 million EVs.
<h2>Tesla will build 10-12 Gigafactories in total</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-17310 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1024x511.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="374" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1024x511.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-300x150.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-768x383.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1536x767.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-2048x1022.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/tesla-gigafactory-texas-1568x782.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Tesla still has a long way forward to be the production giant Elon wants it to become. There are four EV manufacturing plants that Tesla operates today; Fremont, Giga Shanghai, Giga Berlin, and Giga Texas. The automaker will build 6 to 8 more gigafactories in the future. Each factory will be designed to handle at least 1 to 2 million EV production annually. There is no certain timetable for the future factories but Elon heavily hinted that Tesla is looking for a third EV factory location in the North America region, including Canada, Mexico, and United States.
From what we understand, Tesla is certainly planning on increasing its annual output to almost 20 million vehicles in the next decade. This figure will make Tesla become the world&#8217;s biggest automaker. The company will not only produce passenger cars but also electric trucks, pick-ups, and MPVs as well.

The first Gigafactory of Tesla in Europe, the fourth one overall, is officially opened today by the company’s CEO Elon Musk. The initial announcement of building a factory in Europe was made two and a half years ago. The <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories/">Giga Berlin</a>-Brandenburg has started officially running today in the German capital.
During the opening ceremony, Tesla has delivered the first 30 Model Ys to the customers. These <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-y-performance/">Model Y</a> compact SUVs are the performance configuration of the vehicle and have a range of 320 miles.
The German government has given Tesla provisional approval to start commercial production at the factory in early March. This has allowed Tesla to produce up to 500.000 EVs per year at the Giga Berlin-Brandenburg. The original plan was to begin production in summer 2021; however, the coronavirus pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and environmental concerns have postponed the opening of the factory.
In February 2020, Tesla had to temporarily stop the construction of the factory due to environmental concerns of the local government. Defending the impact of the factory on the environment, Elon Musk argued that the water use of the factory will be relatively very little. He also stated that the forest cleared before the construction wasn’t natural because the trees had been planted for the company’s cardboard factory.

Although Tesla has aimed to produce up to 5,000 cars and 59 GWh of battery capacity annually at Giga Berlin, Musk has previously stated that increasing production will be a real challenge for the company. To achieve this objective, Tesla already hired over 3,000 workers and the number will go up to 12,000 eventually.
In the opening ceremony, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a speech that acknowledges the importance of Tesla&#8217;s investment in Germany.
&#8220;The opening of the Tesla factory with Elon Musk in Brandenburg is an important sign: Germany is a strong location for industrial investments. This is how we will succeed in becoming carbon neutral and leading the transformation. The future belongs to electromobility.&#8221;
The Giga Berlin-Brandenburg will be a crucial logistical hub for Tesla because the company currently imports vehicles to Europe from its other factories. The Berlin Gigafactory is the fourth factory after Nevada, New York, and Shanghai. The fifth one is currently underway in Texas, where Tesla will also have its headquarters.

How Many Gigafactories Does Tesla Have? Tesla Factory Locations

Tesla is pushing for a new EV production record as there aren&#8217;t many days left in 2021. The Texas-based automaker has been constantly increasing the pace of production at its facilities. But now Giga Shanghai is at another level of its own. The latest drone footage shows that one <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-y-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Model Y</a> produced every 38 to 44 seconds at the site! That means that the annual production rate of Giga Shanghai is at a whopping 683,000 vehicles.
When the Gigafactory 3, the Giga Shanghai first started to produce Model Y electric SUVs in February 2021, the estimated production pace is around one vehicle every 2 minutes. According to the latest drone shots, the Tesla China factory almost tripled its Model Y production pace in less than one year.
At the beginning of 2021, Tesla China can only make 29 Model Ys per hour. Now the Shanghai factory can produce more than 90 electric SUVs every hour. That is an outstanding performance, even for Tesla. Next year, Giga Shanghai will keep increasing its production rate to an annual total of 1 million EVs.

<h2>Giga Berlin and Giga Texas waiting for the final approvals</h2>
Tesla&#8217;s fourth and fifth vehicle production facilities can&#8217;t make it into production this year. But Tesla is confident that as soon as the final approvals are received Giga Berlin and Giga Texas will start producing EVs at a reasonably high pace next year. Austin-based Gigafactory 5 will probably start operating in the first weeks of 2022. Giga Berlin, on the other hand, is still waiting for German authorities&#8217; approval of its documents. The most recent footage came from Berlin shows a couple of German-made Model Ys assembled and parked in the parking area.

Tesla produces more than 90 Model Ys per hour in China

Tesla has been preparing for the start of production at its newest factory in the US. The automaker recently moved its headquarters from Fremont, California to Gigafactory Texas, as the factory site is getting crowded with more Tesla employees every day. Elon Musk just announced on his Twitter account that Tesla&#8217;s Gigafactory Texas investment will be more than $10 billion over time, generating 20,000 direct and +100,000 indirect jobs in the US.
<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars/2021-tesla-model-y-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Model Y</a> production is expected to be started in Texas before the end of the year. Texas-based EV maker probably spent more than $1 billion for the first phase of this facility as of today, but its investment for Gigafactory Texas is not completed yet. Elon Musk confirmed that their second US EV factory will need more than $10 billion investment to be finished. The next phase of the factory probably includes the production of the famous electric pickup <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars/tesla-cybertruck-dual-motor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cybertruck</a>.
Texas facility will double Tesla&#8217;s US production output when it is fully ramped up. Once the Cybertruck and Tesla&#8217;s first heavy-duty electric vehicle Tesla Semi production phases are complete, the overall production output of the Giga Texas will reach more than 500,000 vehicles per year. 
Gigafactory Texas will solve American carmaker&#8217;s &#8216;delivery problem&#8217; once starts operating. Right now, a new customer ready to pay for a brand-new Tesla EV needs to wait almost a year to take delivery of its order. The Model Y is the most popular Tesla in the market, Texas facility will surely help Tesla clear up its tight delivery schedule.
