All Tesla has to produce 7 000 Model 3 in a week

4 December 2018

The American company is confidently moving forward

Recently Elon Musk set a new goal to produce thousands of electric cars Tesla Model 3 a day. If these words were spoken just a year ago, many twisted a finger at a temple: then the company started to produce the Model 3, but from-for fallen on it of problems collected literally in a few instances a day. But to the current time, much has changed. And new frontier has been successfully taken.

On reaching it became known from a letter to Elon musk to his subordinates. Head of "Tesla" has confirmed that the company has reached a production level of 1 000 Model 3 a day.

Now, the billionaire was asked to focus on the further optimization of the Assembly line. He asked all involved to think about how you can reduce production costs and increase the speed. According to him, now, the limiting factor is the body Assembly.

Also, the Mask urged to consider reducing the cost of individual components. According to him, now the cost of release Model 3 with the base battery is about $38 000. And since in this electric car has about 10,000 unique parts, each of them costs an average of $3.8. So now the fight will be for every cent.

last month, the head of Tesla, said that within six months, Tesla will bring to market a basic version of Model 3 for $35 000. Such initial price tag originally appeared in talking about "budget" electric car before, when Model 3 was announced.

Future plans "Tesla" on speeding up production lines are not yet available. Musk wants to increase production to 10,000 cars a week, but as yet does not name even approximate terms. Perhaps, further growth will lead to new difficulties, but given the fact that Tesla is already able to collect 7 000 electric vehicles in this series in a week, increasing the production capacity by another 40% does not seem an impossible task.
