According to foreign media reports, there was news at the beginning of this month that Tesla’s Texas Gigafactory will suspend the production of Model Y and electric pickup truck Cybertruck to upgrade the factory’s No. 2 and No. 3 assembly lines. Judging from the news given by aerial photography sources, Tesla's Texas Gigafactory, which has suspended the production of Model Y and Cybertruck, will also be suspended for a period of time, which is expected to last until the end of the month.
However, this person who often takes aerial photography of the Texas Gigafactory also mentioned that in his latest aerial photography, you can see more employee vehicles parked in the parking lot of the Gigafactory. He also believes that Tesla is conducting additional equipment testing, calibration and employee training.
Tesla's upgrade of the Texas Gigafactory means that it will add related equipment. In aerial photography in recent weeks, there have been scenes of new equipment entering the factory, including industrial robots with the words "CTZoneX" on the outer packaging box, which are believed to be equipment for the Cybertruck production line.
Tesla's Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, is the largest vehicle factory they are building. It is used to produce Model Y and electric pickup Cybertruck. The former started production at the beginning of last year, and its weekly output reached 5,000 units in May. The electric pickup Cybertruck started production in July, and it was reported that 100 units had been produced by the end of last month.
After Tesla previously upgraded its Fremont factory in California and its Shanghai Gigafactory, production has increased. Upgrades to the Texas Gigafactory are also expected to increase production. Especially for the Cybertruck, which is scheduled to be delivered later this year, if the production line of this electric vehicle is upgraded, it will have stronger production capacity and delivery capacity will also be improved after completion.
