HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Snowy Road Performance of Tesla Semi!

Did a fast-moving Tesla catch your eye recently? Asyou all know, American company produces the fastest production car on earth. You might be wondering what type of engine it uses to get that fast. Here is the answer:
<a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a> don&#8217;t have engines. While traditional vehicles have internal combustion engines, Teslas come with electric motors and large battery packs to power them. And furthermore, there is neither a petrol/diesel engine nor any fuel tank, fuel injection system, exhausts, etc. inside Tesla&#8217;s fully-electric models. The whole driving system is based on relatively small motors and thousands of battery cells placed underneath the vehicle.
Related Article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/do-teslas-need-oil-change-tesla-maintenance-guide">Do Teslas Need Oil Change?</a>
To better understand how an engineless Tesla move, you need to know about an EV&#8217;s critical parts. The electric motor and the battery pack are two of the most significant systems on any <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/10-advantages-of-owning-an-electric-vehicle">electric car</a>. But manufacturers aren&#8217;t simply putting some batteries and motors together to create a vehicle. There is more to it than you could guess at first glance.
The inverter, DC/DC converter, on-board charger, battery management system (BMS), and thermal management system (including heat pump) are equally crucial for the electric vehicle to move. Tesla got rid of engines, exhaust, and fuel systems. Instead, they put in more efficient, lighter equipment that guarantees a much faster, cleaner ride. Here is a list of parts that a regular Tesla vehicle equipped with:
&#8211; Power/Traction Battery Pack
&#8211; AC/DC Electric Motor(s)
&#8211; Power Inverter
&#8211; Transmission (mostly a reduction gear, to be precise)
&#8211; OBC (On-board Charger) and Charge Port
&#8211; DC/DC Converter
&#8211; 12V Auxiliary Battery (mostly lead-acid batteries used)
&#8211; Battery Management System (BMS)
&#8211; Thermal Management System (including heat pumps)
&#8211; Power Electronics Controller

At first, Tesla vehicles used a single-motor drivetrain. The first dual-motor AWD Tesla <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ6lZJWL_Xk&amp;t=1s">unveiled in 2015</a>. After that Elon Musk&#8217;s company developed a tri-motor drivetrain powerful enough to set multiple acceleration records in 2021. Tesla Model S Plaid with tri-motor setup is still the fastest mass-production vehicle on the market.
Tesla Model S and Model X have both dual and tri motor drivetrains. The fully-electric Class 8 truck Tesla Semi is also powered by the same drive units with three electric motors. Rumors suggest that Tesla&#8217;s highly-anticipated electric pickup Cybertruck will also have three motors, instead of a quad-motor drivetrain originally promised. Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, on the other hand, offers both single-motor RWD and dual-motor all wheel drive options.

Do Teslas Have Engines? | A Guide to Understanding EVs

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> are getting really popular, but the main concerns, such as short range and long charging times that hold conventional vehicle owners back from switching sides are still yet to be solved. That is where higher-voltage electric vehicles are coming into play. Tesla recently announced its 1000-volt system and hinted more Tesla vehicles will benefit from the new tech. Future EVs will eventually make the switch from 400V to higher voltage systems.
800V or higher voltage electric vehicles are capable of delivering <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">ultra-fast charging</a> rates and offer higher performance while improving the efficiency of the all systems. 800V electric vehicles can only be possible by employing an 800V battery and using SiC (Silicone Carbide) inverter, proper cabling, OBC (On-board Charger), DCDC converter and other electrical equipments that support higher voltage levels. Conventional electric vehicles come with 400V electrical architecture as standard. Because of the voltage limit, today&#8217;s electric vehicles are limited to a maximum of 400-volt when they are connected to a DC charging station. In order to reach higher charge rates, current levels should go up to 600A or even more, which is not ideal for the infrastructure that charging stations heavily rely on.
The first higher-voltage EV is the Porsche Taycan, which has a cutting-edge 800V inverter built-in. Its DC charging rate can go as high as 270 kW with the proper charging setup. After that Hyundai and Kia developed an alternative 800V charging tech to avoid using an expensive 800V SiC inverter. In late 2021, Lucid Motors launched its first vehicle Lucid Air with an industry-leading 924V system developed by <a href="https://eepower.com/news/wolfspeed-announces-the-lucid-air-is-using-its-sic-power-modules/#">Wolfspeed</a>. And one year later, Tesla unveiled its first 1000V vehicle architecture with the launch of the tri-motor electric truck Tesla Semi. <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/ev-charging-800-volt">General Motors</a>, Volkswagen, and, of course, Chinese brands such as Aion, Avatr, Xpeng, Zeekr, BYD, Voyah and Li Auto have also been developing 800V high-voltage electrical systems for their EVs.
In this article, we researched our way into higher voltage electric vehicles and created a list of benefits of owning an 800V EV.
<h2>Faster Charging Compared to 400V Electric Vehicles</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32268" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800V or higher voltage systems allow electric vehicles to be charged at as high as 480 kW, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/xpeng-g9-awd">Xpeng G9</a> proved. Regular 400V electric vehicles aren&#8217;t capable of doing that, because of the charging infrastructure&#8217;s current limit. When you plug your 400V vehicle into a DC charger, you limit your session to 400-volt. To provide faster charging speeds, EV charger should deliver more current, sometimes as high as 600A or even more (The third-gen Tesla Superchargers can deliver up to 660-amper). In order to increase the current, thicker and water-cooled cables are needed. Even using these expensive cables are not enough to lower down the charge efficiency, as conduction losses will increase up to nine times.
EV manufacturers have been developing 800V charging technologies to overcome this fast-charging problem. Some companies such as Porsche/Audi, Lucid Motors, and Xpeng use SiC inverters inside their EVs. These next-gen SiC inverters can handle higher voltages and also improve efficiency. Hyundai and Kia took a different approach to this matter. Korean automakers developed a technology that manages to provide 800-volt charging by using electric motors as generator and a regular IGBT inverter.
Thanks to more advanced electronics, 800-volt charging enables vehicle owners to reach up to 480 kW DC charging rates. For instance, Xpeng G9 and Aion LX Plus are already on sale that support ultra-fast 480+ kW charging. Lucid Air can go as high as 300 kW. Porsche Taycan did perform similiarly. Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 is also capable of delivering up to 240 kW DC charging speeds. 800V charging is definitely the future of EVs!
<h3>More Efficient &amp; More Powerful Electric Drivetrains</h3>

By switching to a 800V architecture, EV manufacturers can make use of higher voltage motors as well. Porsche is the first company to implement an 800V electric motor into its vehicles. Higher voltage improves overall power density of the motor unit and it reduces the maximum torque required to achieve the same output power due to extended RPM range.
As the DC link voltage of the EV motor units increase, the current levels decrease. This leads to lower copper loss and improves efficiency of the electrical traction systems. Higher voltage motors are also tend to produce more power than lower voltage solutions.
From the efficiency perspective, the next-gen SiC inverters used inside 800V electric vehicles are also much more efficient. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-yangwang-u8">BYD recently unveiled</a> its first SiC inverter developed in-house, which scores an efficiency level of 99.5 percent.
<h3>800V Architectures Mean Lighter Electric Cars</h3>

800-volt electrical architectures can be created by using thinner cables between the battery pack and the inverter, DC charging port, OBC, and other equipments. As a result, 800V electric vehicles will use less copper and that would reduce the overall weight of the car.
Higher voltage electric motors are also significantly lighter and more power-dense than regular lower voltage units. That means 800V electric vehicles can be equipped with smaller, lighter motors. That creates more room for batteries as well.
<h3>Reduced Cost of Cabling, Less Copper Used Inside the Vehicle</h3>
Electric vehicles use more copper than any other vehicles. It takes 2 to 4 times more copper to build an EV than an ICE vehicle. But unlike 400V EVs, higher voltage systems don&#8217;t require thick copper cables. That will not only help manufacturers reduce the cost of cabling but also ease up the global copper supply chain. Because EV batteries and heavy investments in EV charging infrastructure have already been causing problems for the copper industry, thinner cables will help in the near future.
Here are some disadvantages of choosing 800V electrical system over a regular 400V architecture:
&#8211; Higher cost of electrical insulation and clearance
&#8211; Higher voltage battery packs tend to perform less reliable than 400V systems, because they contain larger number of series connections. The impact of single cell failure in a pack like this would be much higher than the 400V batteries with more parallel cells.
&#8211; Lower voltage battery packs are more energy-dense than the similiarly designed 800V batteries, which is the result of all the additional electrical clearance requirements around high voltage systems and the much larger BMS.

What is 800V Electric Vehicle? | What are the Benefits of 800V Systems?

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.
<h2>Tesla&#8217;s Largest Cell Factory Will Be Based in Nevada, USA</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-11102" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/model-y-structural-battery-4680-1024x673.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="493" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/model-y-structural-battery-4680-1024x673.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/model-y-structural-battery-4680-300x197.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/model-y-structural-battery-4680-768x505.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/model-y-structural-battery-4680-1536x1009.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/model-y-structural-battery-4680-1568x1031.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/model-y-structural-battery-4680.jpg 2045w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
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 does not currently have a &#8220;Model 2&#8221; on its list of planned vehicles. But the carmaker has hinted at the existence of a more affordable, more compact model on several occasions.
It appears as though a forthcoming, &#8220;cheaper&#8221; Tesla model is all anybody can speak about. It is debatable if the US electric car manufacturer needs to build more inexpensive EVs in order to effectively advance its aim. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has stated as much. Despite the fact that it seemed like the manufacturer was truly contemplating releasing it shortly, following all the enthusiasm, those plans appeared to shift quite rapidly.
There have been rumors that Tesla is planning a tiny sedan or hatchback for $25,000. Although the rumors weren&#8217;t entirely verified, Musk and Tesla executives acknowledged the necessity for a less expensive model. Soon after, Tesla will create the forthcoming model in China for growing global demand.
According to Tesla&#8217;s recent announcement, there is a chance that we will see the vehicle architecture of this cheaper Tesla next March. Texas-based EV maker will share more details regarding its generation three platform at Investor Day on March 3. Tesla is long due for a new vehicle platform. This might be the platform that the $25,000 Model 2 would be based.
<h2>Tesla Cybertruck Can be Taken As a Model</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-5639" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1024x648.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="475" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-300x190.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-768x486.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1536x972.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-2048x1297.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tesla-cybertruck-production-time-21-1568x993.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Unlike traditional automobile manufacturers, Tesla, which produces its own seats, strives to optimize the interior cabling design and tries to produce the vehicle chassis by dividing it into the least possible number of parts. Tesla also reduces the weight by making the battery pack a part of the vehicle chassis. It has always continued its innovations in production until today. This time, Tesla will bring all his experience together on the third-generation platform.
Tesla designed an unpainted vehicle with no body-chassis separation without the need for a paint shop investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It integrated the largest aluminum casting machines used in the automotive industry into Cybertruck production. It is estimated that the new platform, like <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/tesla-cybertruck-single-motor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cybertruck</a>, has been developed to break away from traditional automobile production habits. Tesla&#8217;s ultimate aim is to reduce the cost in terms of both materials and labor.
<h2>Cheap Model 2 Expectation May Extend to 2025</h2>
Even if most rumors regarding Tesla&#8217;s smaller, less expensive future car still carry a $25,000 price tag, it&#8217;s difficult to predict what the beginning price will truly be in the middle to late 2025. The Tesla Cybertruck will not be available at the pricing mentioned during its public introduction. Tesla&#8217;s objective would be to undercut or equal appealing competitors. Another objective is to make sure that the next less expensive model would be qualified for the full tax credit.
According to the Loup Ventures study, Tesla China might already be working on the more cheap Tesla model. The Cybertruck, Full Self-Driving Beta version 11, a new North American plant, scaling up Tesla Semi production, a concentration on 4680 battery manufacturing, a revised Model 3, and now perhaps a less expensive Model Y, it appears Tesla may have plenty on its plate for many months to come.

Tesla May Introduce the $25,000 Model 2 in 2024

During Friday night&#8217;s Tesla Semi unveiling, Elon Musk glanced up at a slide and said, &#8220;It&#8217;s a beast.&#8221;  Musk also hinted at a feature that looks to be available for Cybertruck throughout the presentation. We will sort out some important points about the Tesla semi-truck.
First, it&#8217;s vital to address why Tesla is considering entering the trucking industry. People who live close to warehouses, ports, and other areas where there is a lot of truck traffic may suffer harmful health consequences from semi-trucks fumes.
Musk said that the Semi will do more than only fight climate change. Additionally, it is quiet, will enhance air quality, and will enhance the health of those who live close to motorways. The Semi, according to him, is &#8220;a vital piece of the jigsaw&#8221; that will further Tesla&#8217;s goal of hastening the switch to more environmentally friendly energy sources.
<h2>Tesla Semi Truck Accelerates from 0 to 60 mph/96.5 kmh in 20 Seconds </h2>
High power is not surprising to us given that the car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph/96.5 km/h in 20 seconds when fully loaded. By the way, fully loaded is 82,000 lbs/37,195 kg Gross Combination Weight (GCW), as opposed to 80,000 lbs for diesel cars, which is the allowable GCW for BEVs.This is probably why a substantially loaded Tesla Semi is able to easily accelerate when driving uphill on an incline.

<h2>It Has Tri-Motor System</h2>
The unique tri-motor technology that drives the Tesla Semi consists of three independent electric motors, as opposed to four. Because the front axle is not powered, the motors power the second and third rear axles.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-29167 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tesla-semi-drive-units-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tesla-semi-drive-units-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tesla-semi-drive-units-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tesla-semi-drive-units-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tesla-semi-drive-units-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tesla-semi-drive-units-1568x882.jpeg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tesla-semi-drive-units.jpeg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The fact that the electric motors have carbon-sleeved rotors, precisely like the Tesla Model S and Model X Plaid debuted in 2021, is an intriguing feature. This indicates that Tesla gave it everything it had to optimize the drive unit&#8217;s output.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-29164 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tesla-1MW-DC-Charging-1024x604.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="442" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tesla-1MW-DC-Charging-1024x604.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tesla-1MW-DC-Charging-300x177.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tesla-1MW-DC-Charging-768x453.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tesla-1MW-DC-Charging.jpg 1380w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />Tesla’s new, super-powerful charging capabilities are available for the Tesla Semi Truck and Cybertruck
Last but not least, Tesla has a new, fast-charging system, and a battery with greater range than competitors. The DC fast-charging system delivers up to 1MW. It employs a water-based coolant to ensure it’s safe in delivering that power. It will also be available to power up Cybertrucks, the consumer pickup truck Tesla is planning.

The Main Features Of The Tesla Semi and Why It Exists

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

Tesla has become an automotive giant that builds electric vehicles all over the world. From the old GM-Toyota factory in Fremont, California to China&#8217;s largest EV production hub in Shanghai, Tesla cars are made in five locations (including Tesla Semi pilot line in Nevada) on three different continents.
Elon Musk calls its Tesla plants &#8216;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gigafactories&#8217;</a>. These production sites are currently building five different electric vehicles. Tesla Model Y is the most popular EV in the world. Understandably, it has the most diverse production operation as well. Model Y has been built in four locations; Fremont Factory, Giga Shanghai, Giga Texas, and Giga Berlin. Mid-size electric sedan Model 3 is manufactured at the Fremont and Shanghai factories. High-end EVs Model S and X&#8217;s production is exclusive to Fremont facility. And the newest member of the Tesla family, the electric truck Tesla Semi has been in low-volume production at a manufacturing site close to Giga Nevada. Semi&#8217;s mass production will be held at Giga Texas, hopefully starting next year.

Giga Shanghai is Tesla&#8217;s export hub and has the highest production output among other gigafactories. Therefore, Shanghai factory produces more than half of the Model Ys and Model 3s built in the world. That will change when the new Texas and Berlin factories ramp up their Model Y production. According to the latest info, Giga Berlin will reach a 5,000 Model Ys per week production rate in Q1 2023. Texas facility&#8217;s output will be lower than Berlin because of the slower than expected implementation of the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/what-is-structural-battery-ctc-ctb-ev-battery-packs-explained">structural battery pack</a> that uses Tesla&#8217;s proprietary cell design 4680.

According to rumors, the Shanghai factory would get a chance in 2023 to produce Chinese versions of the Model S and Model X to avoid hefty import taxes. Tesla China will also develop and produce a budget-friendly Tesla model at the expansion site right next to Giga Shanghai.
Cybertruck is the most desired future model that Tesla fans eagerly waiting for. It will be made in Giga Texas, where a special production line is designed specifically for the famous electric pickup truck. The unique design and the platform of the Cybertruck will allow Tesla to reduce production costs a lot. That will help Texas-based company lower its starting price to keep up with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-f-150-lightning-pro-extended-range">Ford&#8217;s F-150 Lightning</a> and the Amazon-backed Rivian&#8217;s promising offering <a href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1t">R1T</a>.
Tesla&#8217;s second-generation Roadster is also due production in Texas. Tesla is committed to making Austin, Texas its largest manufacturing hub. There is a 4680 battery cell production line in Texas as well. Both the Cybertruck and Roadster will only be possible with the new structural battery pack and Tesla&#8217;s bigger cell design.

How Many Gigafactories Does Tesla Have? Tesla Factory Locations

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.
