BREAKING - ELON buys 9% stake in Twitter.

FYI. For a long time the Pentagon was considered the largest square foot building at 6.5 million square feet. Just to add some perspective to the size of Gigafactory Texas.

Private sector drives

Was hoping the blade batteries will be installed in them.

And each and everyone of these factories will quadruple in output without needing new factories… Just Giga Texas has a future capability of 2 million teslas PER YEAR. Giga Berlín will also have the same (once’s the final phases are ramped). This is also the same for Giga Shanghai. We are talking about 7-8 million teslas PER year once’s these 4 factories are to their TRUE fullest. This is what Gordon Johnson doesn’t understand… yea Toyota has more factories… but 1 tesla factory is worth 5-7 Toyota factories.

@@MichaelOrtega ya thats not gonna happen. Not enough lithium. You can produce a maximum of about 2 million electric cars a year

@@jebes909090 You know that lithium is the most common material of and EV to produce/mine? Literally.

@@jebes909090 might wanna check those numbers again, 4 million all electric cars were sold in 2021, and 2 million plus in hybrids

Not technically true. In 2019 they had freemont, giga Veda building cells, giga ny building solar&powerwalls, plus gigahai was under construction. But this year vs 2019 sales will likely have more than quadrupled. 😁

That, and the possible upcoming stock split. :)

Tesla does not need Service Centers like the ICE cars. Batteries last for at least 300 000 miles. Some beyond 500 thousand. No transmission and no hundreds of other parts that ICE cars have to fix. I spoke with a Tesla owner whose Model S has already more than 200 000 miles, and he just changed tires, did lots of upgrades int he computer at no cost and the batteries have lost around 20% of potency but do not need to be replaced.

Great idea

It's the future of most jobs and has been happening for thousands of years. Since the first person put a cart behind a house and fired their bearers carry goods. People will find new jobs to do.

I'd be supprised if it is a full 50. Probably mostly a team of remote workers monitoring cameras and real-time stats and sending out telepresence bots or drones for initial investigation. Maybe a team of 50 people world-wide doing that kind of work, and another 10-20 on-site workers to do actual repairs/maintenance on equipment. Most on-site workers will be there to set up new lines, new equipment, or expanding things. The number of people monitoring and working on functioning lines will be pretty small.

Sounds about right

It’s never going to happen, raw materials distribution around the world isn’t equal, plus the processing units of those needs to be well placed to suit environmental protection conditions lol….

@@Joeybear16 yeah like our tax returns.

I love my Model Y and I like Tesla, but I don't think Legacy Automakers need to worry , Teslas' EV lowest priced is $50,000 out of door, Model Y is $70,000 out of door. With limited Tesla Service Centers, Tesla's customers base is very different and apart from Legacy Automakers .... End of the day, how many people can afford to buy a Tesla ?? 😁

@@JY-lg6ee Last year Elon talked about a $25K hatchback. Clearly the upscale market is more profitable and should be addressed first. After he saturates that market the low cost cars will be more of a possibility. He will also have an immense experience enabling him to make this happen. I don't know if he can or will want to hit that $25K mark but it looks possible from here.

no doubt lots of under the table remuneration going on. Just look at the SpaceX delay in Texas due to an environmental impact study. They keep delaying it. Gee, I wonder why?

I don't think so. The technology is evolving. The capital can be applied to a generation of technology beyond Tesla. When they do produce their units in bulk, they will have a full cadre of previous loyal customers who will check out their products. I have a Ford and when my current wheels get old, I will shop around.

All EV makers should unite

Most accidents are superficial body damage. Once your frame is tweaked... typically your car is totaled anyways no matter what brand it is. Having a single piece frame means easier construction, better safety crash test results, and cheaper/faster production. All good things. If you get in a wreck where your frame is messed up, you shouldn't be selling it back into the usable market anyways.

Yea, that's a big problem for tesla, not being able to fix a certain part.. :/

@@CaedenV lol……. Aluminum can very easily crack and it’s a structural part of the car so no one can easily know what happened in an accident, there is a reason why heavy duty machines uses steel instead of aluminum, and who know la how those castings are going to survive on super rough African or South American roads!?

@@CaedenV Having a Single piece frame is a piece of crap.It's Cheaper when Cars are hitting $55,000 ? No..you got it all Wrong,Who Cares about Faster/Cheaper...It's Stupid.Why ? You're going to buy a headlight worth $3,000? .....Ugh..you people are so dumb with your single piece frame logic.

Money

Sir I refer you to beyond the press youtube channel, apparently only 20-25 kg of high explosives. If you pay cash around $40000-50000 us. And despite searching I have yet to find any data about how much one tesla Vehicle produces in very highly toxic waste. Not the actual production but the materials required. So for starters 2-10 human lives, this will increase due to very, very toxic waste. Approximately 10000 kg per 100 g of electronics. Not to mention all the plastic from the petrochemical industry. In actual fact the least environmentally damaging components of a tesla is the metal used in the frame. As for a stressed battery pack, yeah that's just effin scary, a stressed battery pack in a collision, sorry I'm already 20% crispy critter. Musk is a conman, sorry I had the same children's book he is trying to sell 20 years out of date as I had in the 70's. Just the other day I saw a promotion about a start up wanting to drill 20km for geothermal energy. 12500 m is the best and even then they gave up. Ffs fusion power has been increasing by 5 years every 5 years. Thorium reactors that produce more fuel than they consume. Seriously where are you going to store radioactive waste that keeps increasing (suggest milking the Thorium cow). I chose not to breed, I'm not going to fluffy cloud land with the invisible magical space pixies. Sorry but o.k. boomer is a badge of pride. 10-30 years what do i care. But hey good luck, when you make the same mistakes in new and interesting way you are gonna need it. Again good luck.

And you want a car you can get into a minor accident, without having to shell out thousands of dollars for repairs. Moving from being a status item to an everyday, road-weary vehicle.

@@bernlin2000 And apparently Tesla's take a long time to get repaired after an accident. At least the stories I've read end up being 3 or 4 months to get repaired.

Western automakers are most concerned by Chinese competitors...

Low? Eventually, maybe. Not today.

Not able to figure out that low prices. May you help us?

Well, get prices low, you mean. Tesla isn't there yet. A long range Model 3 is over 50K: I can get a fully-loaded Touring Accord for 10K less than that. Electric cars can't just compete with other plug-ins, it's a real challenge for sure, but I'm glad Tesla is here to push these main-line manufacturers in the right direction, even for people not interested specifically in Tesla's current products (all above the average cost of a car in the US).

Yep. Tesla isn't gonna let them catch. Elon stays hungry. And hi companies put money in r&d and none in advertising

They want you to pay for their own tesla insurance, just 10k a year!

I just ordered it yesterday not realizing the Chevy Silverado EV still has Cubolt and that is the reason for Battery fires. I'm not sure if that is in the Cybertruck Battery also.

Yes, the chassis is three pieces (as I understand it). The end pieces are attached to the structural battery pack in the middle.

No i think about 60k cars(

Impossible since they are wildly battery-constrained with the 4680's. They don't have anywhere near the capacity to build even 30,000 cars a year... New 4680 production will be a slow ramp due to the incredible complexity and safety testing requirements.

@@awebuser5914 Wow is that so,it will be interessting to see the reaction of all the Tesla Stockpumpers who thinking we just can switch on production like a electronic device!

Since the entire "structural" battery pack was kind of a joke (it's not structural, it's just convenient for manufacturing), I suspect they will have alternate packs ready that use 2170s. Not leveraging Panasonic cells made at Giga Nevada and essentially "idling" a factory would be completely idiotic.

@@awebuser5914 Do you have data about how quicklyTesla will ramp up their 4680 production?

Freedom units only

GREAT WORK GUYS

You could say it's shaped like an emerald mine.

Except, more valuable. @@velvetypotato711

Insurance is all in house at Tesla. Beyond that any accident the cars are in creates an incident report in their database

Exactly, just look at old/new cars that are been exported to Africa, South America…… who is going to maintain those cars?! The road conditions are going to crush those aluminum castings and no parts things,

There is a really good reason why cars with very few electronics are still on the roads today, I still see 1980 Mercedes’ trucks and cars on the roads for example.

@@mlaw1123 lol….. that means nothing

Yeah I was thinking the same. The battery being more relatively “exposed” on the bottom of the car seems like a lot of risk was introduced for no reason. But I also don’t design cars for a living

Yes, with an airplane.

Teratx the new world tesla hq is nearly 1 mile long, with 4 internal levels of production. Well over 4 times the size of any of their other factories. Using all the latest production improvements and tesla tech. I wonder how many millions it'll do once fully ramped up around 2025? For comparison the Shanghai factory has hit an 800k+annualized run rate. My swag is over 4 million units of production for tx alone by the end of 2025. 😀

It’s Texas! 🚀

I'd be so excited I'd probably also forget to hit the record button.

cheaper to buy new

Good observation. BMW plant in South Carolina you have to get to work at least 45 minutes early,wait till shift change drive around like maniac to get "closer" parking spot,go thru security, run to your work area to clock in. This adds an hour to front and back end of 10 hour grueling shift. Then fight 4pm rush hour traffic for a couple more hours depending on where you live, and 90% of employees can't afford the area around the plant, so realistically it is a 14-15 hour shift. I don't even wanna say anything about inclement weather...I quit !!

I heard they're installing a new "beam me up scotty" transporter room.

Probably never……. We never know lol!!

I was gonna predict 250k by end of 2022.

Not likely to happen for at least 3-5 more year's outside of new government incentives being inacted like what failed last year to pass. Or buying on the used market in a couple year's coupled with an incentive like exists now in some states for used evs up to 20k. 🤔 Even then it'll probably be a very basic ev if not one built outside the U.S. itself and then imported.

Raw materials supply constraints will not satisfy demand unless much less people than I think want electric. I think I'll look up the demographics concerning how many people can afford $55,000 cars.

@@fireofenergy well the average new vehicle sold is now around 51k. So around 16+million new cars sold in the U.S. last year. It's gotta be at least 20,000,000+people who can afford one due to the pent up demand and wait lists. 🤔

I'm realistic, I know that they'll likely launch a version in around 5 years for 30-35 grand but the demand will outpace supply and most people in situations like myself wouldn't get one for at least 10 years down the road.

Never

This is why they registered as an energy provider in texas. The main goal here is going to be immune to texas grid failures, but the texas system allows them to sell power to the grid and republicans can't stop them. They can develop a product they can sell to other factories that need stable power around the globe, but also go into business for themselves as a solar energy producer that can still provide power at night with megapacks.

@@_PatrickO tesla is nothing when it sines to solar energy production, they buys all of their solar panels from china, tesla can only do well with batteries. Solar is already universal and any company can sell them

@@_PatrickO Please don't get into political BS here man.

@@KB-ke3fi You go vote for abbott and trump somewhere else. Don't get mad at normal people because you feel shame.

The batteries will last over 500k miles. No need to replace.

Battery replacement isn’t a good idea. To have a battery replacement model, you would need to produce multiple battery packs per car. Batteries are the main production constraint for EVs. So for every battery they produce to sustain a battery swap model, that’s one fewer car they can produce. Much better to just have the battery pack be able to perform at a high level for enough charge cycles to give it a life expectancy greater than or equal to that of a combustion engine.

Isn't the 4680 cell designed to last a million miles? Given the average annual mileage in the US is 14,264 miles, that's over 70 years! Way longer than any of the Tesla vehicles' bodies will last, with the possible exception of the Cybertruck with its stainless steel exoskeleton body. If it does need replacing for some unusual reason, disconnect it, unbolt it from the front and rear giga-castings, and lower it out. Raise a new one in and bolt it up.

@@hillmans69 dude you're drinking the kool-aide.
