If their body shop runs a 40 sec takt time, general assembly would run at a similar rate and the figures are not additive. Worse case, GA could be 10% slower, so around a car every 45 sec.
I researched a ton at the time. There is no evidence the interior or sound dampening is any different in the RWD one. The stereo was way worse than the LR, that’s for sure. But I don’t think the LR has any better build quality. That’s just made up. It’s virtually identical to a long range except it’s missing a motor and extra batteries. In fact, the speakers from the better stereo were actually installed in mine, just not the amp and the speakers were not connected. That’s teslas whole thing. Make them almost the same to streamline manufacturing.
It turns out that leases enable folks to come in from the business credit side and they still get the tax credit. That interesting loophole is going to increase the amount of leasing.
Probably not that fast but not much off. Giga Shanghai makes 3000 3+Y per day, that's 29 seconds for a car. Take out some downtime between shifts and maintenance, probably 55 second each for a Y or 3.
I’m not speculating. It’s in the report that I was responding to.
Not exactly, Tesla increased prices and today reduced them, but not even to the same level they were before increases.
