Start of the fourth Tesla assembly plant in the world
- The Californian electric car manufacturer Tesla will start car production in its fourth assembly plant located in Austin (Texas, USA) which it has just inaugurated. This new plant joins those in Fremont (California, USA), Shanghai (China) and Berlin (Germany, EU). Its mission is to meet the growing demand for Tesla models as the Fremont plant with a production capacity of 500,000 vehicles per year reaches saturation, with 445,000 units produced in 2021. The Austin plant which has a production capacity of 500,000 vehicles per year, aims to manufacture more than one and a half million vehicles by 2023, and thus to be among the top 15 manufacturers in the world for the first time.
- In 2021, Tesla manufactured 930,000 vehicles worldwide, including 485,000 in China and 445,000 in the USA, with the European plant in Berlin due to start in the spring of 2022. The new factory located in Austin is to take on the production of 500 000 Model Y per year before the arrival of the Cybertruck pickup whose production is due to start in 2023 (with some delay, priority having been given to the Model 3 and Model Y). Let's add that the factory should also assemble the humanoid robot Optimus.
- The production capacity of Tesla in the world will therefore be next summer 500,000 in Austin + 500,000 in Fremont + 500,000 in Shanghai + 250,000 in Berlin = 1.75 million units. But the manufacturer plans to double production capacity in Shanghai from 2023 and to double production capacity in Berlin in 2025. That year, Tesla will therefore be able to produce 2.5 million vehicles worldwide, including one million in the USA, one million in China and 500,000 in Europe.
