New Delhi : What do you do when you are very hungry? Chut opens the Maggi packet in a minute and cooks and eats it in five minutes, isn’t that what they do? Well, now you tell how long a car can be made? Perhaps we do not have the answer to this, because in response to this you will say that you should ask the car maker or Google Baba to answer this. But, let us tell you that American car manufacturer Tesla is making a car in just 40 seconds. And, the surprising thing is that she is not doing this work sitting in America, but is doing it from Gigafactory in Shanghai, China. Isn’t it surprising? Then let’s know how she does this work?
Shanghai’s Gigaplant is the world’s largest electric factory
Let us tell that the American automaker Tesla Inc. is one of the most valuable companies in the world. Tesla manufactures petrol-diesel engine cars as well as electric vehicles. According to a report, in the year 2022, the company has been leading the battery-powered electric car vehicle market with 18 percent share. At present, Tesla is in a lot of discussion due to the continuous production of electric cars from Gigafactory in Shanghai, China. The Shanghai plant from which it is making Danadan electric car is the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturing plant. Recently, a video of making vehicles in the plant has shocked everyone. The speed of making cars in this plant is faster than you think.
Tesla is making a car every 40 seconds
Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory has been one of the major manufacturing facilities for the American electric carmaker. This manufacturing factory is producing a car every 40 seconds, the video of which is going viral on Twitter. The video shows that Tesla rolls out a new Model 3 or Model Y every 40 seconds from this gigaplant in Shanghai. This reflects the sheer scale and efficiency of Tesla’s manufacturing process at the production facility, which serves as a manufacturing hub for Tesla’s Asian markets as well as North America and European countries.
Left Ford behind in car making
Tesla has made one car every 40 seconds at its Shanghai gigaplant, surpassing its rival Ford in terms of remarkable manufacturing speed, which in January this year claimed that its Dearborn truck plant in Michigan was producing one every 49 seconds. The F-150 could build a pickup truck. A video shared on social media gives viewers a glimpse inside the Gigaplant in Shanghai, Tesla’s first gigafactory outside the US. In one frame of the video, a Tesla employee explains how dozens of robotic arms work together at a single station to improve manufacturing efficiency. In another clip, the worker explains how the double-stacked workshops organize production lines efficiently.
Tesla manufactures Model 3 and Model Y popular models in Shanghai
Tesla currently manufactures two of its most popular models, the Model 3 and the Model Y, at the world’s largest vehicle-making gigaplant in Shanghai, China, which is one of the cheapest cars from the American carmaker. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has put a lot of emphasis on increasing the production scale in the last few quarters and launching a car every 40 seconds is an important part of that strategy. The EV maker has revealed in its first and second quarter earnings reports that the Shanghai gigaplant has been running at maximum capacity for several months in a row. The company has also said that it no longer feels the need to increase production in China.
Tesla makes a robot once every 40 seconds
Tesla Asia has shared a video on its official Twitter handle, which shows the Gigafactory visit by an influencer. According to this video, Tesla is producing a Model Y car every 40 minutes in this gigaplant. The company achieves this speed of production with the help of robots and its efficient workforce. Tesla’s Gigafactory is the most productive plant. 20,000 frontline workers and car engineers work here.
