Tesla officially announced that it has produced a total of 5 million cars as of this week, about six months before the 4 millionth car rolls off the assembly line.
Tesla currently produces vehicles at four factories, two of which are in the United States, in Fremont, California, and Austin, Texas. In addition, Tesla also has two super factories in Shanghai, China and Berlin, Germany.
It is worth mentioning that the 2 millionth China-made Tesla vehicle just rolled off the assembly line at the Shanghai Gigafactory on September 6. Tesla said that it takes less than 40 seconds for a complete vehicle to roll off the assembly line at Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory. The vehicle leaves the production line and whistles twice to indicate completion of assembly.
Tesla said that 99.9% of the Shanghai Gigafactory are Chinese employees, and the localization rate of the parts of the Shanghai Gigafactory is higher than 95%. It adopts a vertical procurement model to avoid “middlemen making the difference.”
In addition, Tesla also plans to build new factories outside the United States in the next few years to continue to expand its production scope. It is reported that the automaker announced plans to build a new factory in Nuevo Leon, Mexico at the beginning of the year, and there is also news that Tesla is considering building a factory in India.
