Giga Texas Production Shift Change starting 15 July 2024

Күн бұрын

Following up on the End-of-Line (EOL) operations changes I told you about last week, today (15 July 2024) Giga Texas has changed the production line shifts, now Monday to Thursday from 06:00 AM to 06:00PM (formerly Mon - Sat).
This affects both Model Y & Cybertruck lines & there are several key reasons for these changes as I discuss more in detail in the video clip.
Some of these include reducing costs, efficiently using the current work force, line maintenance, completing the move of EOL to the west side & preparing for future production of products later this year.
I do not currently know the expected timelines as to how long these changes will last or how long the revised production schedule will be maintained before ramping back up to the original Mon to Sat.

Ok, so what you are saying is that employees will be working 12 hour shifts 4 days a week, with 3 days off. Remains to be seen what effect that will have on the workers.

Just judging from the number of cars in the employee parking lot it didn't seem like they were running a full production line on Saturday. However, it did seem like casting were produced on weekends.

To help with your channel, look up how water cooling computer systems operate. Water is a great conductor of heat, and that water operates in a closed loop, to run that water through a radiator. Those fan units most likely are being used to suck that warm water out through the radiator, which dissipates that water heat into the atmosphere.

@JoeTegtmeyer Ай бұрын

@@jeffcowell3935 that’s pretty basic for all radiative cooling systems.

So.... was Mon-Sat 8 hour days?

@ReinReads Ай бұрын

10 hour shifts. So they are planning on hitting the same production numbers with 48 work hours that they needed 60 work hours to complete.

@James-pw3xl Ай бұрын

48 hours per week? Are they going to be paid overtime pay for the extra 8 hours?

@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Ай бұрын

Yet another shining example of why we need unions to protect the workers.

@ReinReads Ай бұрын

Texas overtime laws require employers to pay non-exempt employees at least 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek.

@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn the employees voted for this and supported the change. I doubt Unions would be of any benefit and likely a detriment.

@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Ай бұрын

@@JoeTegtmeyer A union would have protected the workers from being fired with little to no warning, and without a valid reason, like what happened a few weeks ago. Also, where I worked, the union contract required not only overtime pay for more than 40 hours in a week.... But we also got overtime pay for more than 8 hours in a day. And overtime was optional. Which I always refused. 🙂 There are more important things than serving the corporation. Anyway, that is my opinion.

So this means that employees have to work 48 hours a week? Or does it mean 2 shifts @ 24 hours a week? To go from 8 hours a day to 12 hours strains any home life situation.

@lukeknowles5700 Ай бұрын

You should subtract meal times from the 6am-6pm start/stop shift time. If they get two meal periods a day on a twelve hour shift, that is 11 hours worked x 4 or a 44 hour week.

My guess is they are going to update the Model Y line for the Juniper version coming soon. May also be creating a line for the Model 2. If Tesla was super savvy they would skip the Model 2 and figure out a way to get the Model Y Juniper down closer to $25,000 even $30,000 and use some new battery tech to get it from about 340, close to 500 mile range. They are already set up to make model Y's and could do a quick ramp. A car like that would dominate the market.
