You are not in a futuristic version of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times but at Tesla’s Giga Shanghai.
Tesla shared a short video on X, showing its Giga Shanghai assembly line operating at 95% automation. This allows it to complete a manufacturing cycle in just 39.62 seconds. Of course, it takes more than 40 seconds to build a complete Tesla, but this figure represents the production rate of models that leave the line every 40 seconds!
A totally crazy but very real number. Giga Shanghai built its first million cars in two and a half years, while the second million took only 12 months.
Tesla is currently manufacturing the Model Y SUV and its updated Model 3 sedan at the GigaFactory, and the automaker celebrated reaching two million vehicles produced last September.
Last month, Tesla’s Model Y production at the Shanghai plant accelerated significantly, now manufacturing twice as many Model Y as Model 3.
