Tesla has increased production at its Texas superfactory to thousands of units per week and added the Model Y long-range version to the standard range version, according to Electrek.
The multi-billion dollar Texas superfactory is one of Tesla’s most important projects. But Tesla has been tight-lipped about production figures for the Texas superplant.
After starting slow production of the Model Y in late 2021, Tesla has been gradually ramping up production and began delivering Texas-made Model Y models in April of this year.
Tesla’s goal is to produce 10,000 cars per week at the plant by the end of this year. But the rate of production at the Texas mega-factory is unclear, with sources saying it was previously producing less than 1,000 Model Ys a week.
Since the addition of the long-range version of the Model Y, Tesla’s Texas mega-factory is now producing thousands of vehicles per week, sources close to the situation said.
One source said Tesla could deliver up to 5,000 cars a week at the Texas superfactory, but it’s not clear if that rate is sustainable. Another source said Tesla can produce at least 2,000 Model Ys a week at the plant since adding the long-range version of the Model Y.
