Se non erro, i rumours iniziali da Fremont quando le prime gigapress italiane sono andate in funzione, erano di iperboliche percentuali di scarti, forse c'entra anche questo.

Interessante Video di incidenti Tesla: trovo un po' strano che quasi sempre l'auto (Tesla) incidentata venga considerata, dall'Assicurazione, non riparabile (TOTAL LOSS).

Nei pochi casi in cui si è deciso di riparare la vettura, i tempi sono stati molto lunghi

Cio' significa , oltre a parte dei soldi persi, restare senza veicolo x vari  mesi 

 

 

 

Elon Musk has tapped a longtime Tesla executive in China who oversaw construction of the Shanghai gigfactory to help run the automaker’s newest plant in Austin, Texas, people familiar with the matter said.

Tom Zhu, who joined Tesla in 2014 to help build its Supercharger network and most recently has been heading the automaker’s Asia Pacific operations, is in Austin this week and has brought some of his engineering team from China with him to assist in overseeing the ramp up of Giga Texas — a U.S. hub for the Model Y and future production of the Cybertruck — the people said, asking not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak publicly.

It’s not clear how long Zhu will be in Austin for, or whether he will retain his Asia responsibilities, the people said.

Representatives at Tesla in the U.S. and China did not respond to requests for comment. Zhu was not immediately able to be contacted. Musk also did not respond to messages seeking comment.

The shift of Zhu to Austin comes as Tesla has been trying to increase output at its new Texas factory.

The US electric vehicle pioneer originally planned to make Model Y SUVs using its new, larger 4680 lithium-ion cells at the plant, which Musk referred to as a “money furnace” earlier this year.

But instead Tesla has pivoted to using older 2170 cells considering the new batteries were not ready for volume production.

It also comes comes as Musk has been spending time running Twitter after acquiring the social media platform in late October.

He is also chief executive of Space Exploration Technologies, more commonly known as SpaceX, and founded tunneling firm The Boring Co. and brain-chip developer Neuralink.

Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter has sparked concerns about how he is dividing his time between his many companies, and has also weighed on Tesla’s stock, which is down about 50 percent this year.

Indeed, Musk himself as recently as last month admitted he has “too much work” on his plate.

Zhu for years was Tesla’s top executive in China, the EV maker’s biggest market outside of the US. Tesla’s factory in Shanghai makes Model 3 and Model Y cars for domestic consumption and for export into other parts of Asia and Europe.

It was recently upgraded to double the plant’s capacity to about 1 million cars a year and shipments last month soared to a record 100,291 vehicles.

Musk has also often expressed admiration for the Chinese work ethic, praising Tesla China employees for “burning the 3 am oil” while saying that Americans are “trying to avoid going to work at all.”

The billionaire famously caused a stir earlier this year when he gave workers at Tesla globally an ultimatum: return to the office or go and work elsewhere.

Tesla Inc. will shorten production shifts at its Shanghai factory as soon as Monday and has delayed the on-boarding of some new hires, people familiar with the situation said — adding to signs demand for the company’s electric vehicles in China isn’t meeting expectations.

The plant will operate two 9 1/2-hour shifts per day, down from two 11 1/2-hour shifts currently, according to the people, who asked not be named because the information isn’t public. The change is scheduled to take place from Monday, according to a production schedule seen by Bloomberg News, though it may be subject to some last-minute adjustments, the people said. The shorter shifts will lead to reduced monthly pay for production staff, they said.

Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Tesla plans to cut production this month at the Shanghai factory across the Model Y and Model 3 production lines by about 20 percent. A Tesla representative said it was “untrue” the carmaker planned to cut output, without elaborating.

Separately, the on-boarding process of some new hires has been suspended, other people said. Some production staff who were slated to start in November, including in Tesla’s battery workshops and on vehicle assembly lines, were informed by the company their start dates would be delayed. One of the people said they were told by Tesla’s recruiter to be prepared to start after the Chinese New Year holiday, which falls at the end of January, because there isn’t an urgent need for more workers right now.

A Tesla representative in China declined to comment Thursday.

Intanto pare che la giga Berlino sia un disastro, con produzione dimezzata rispetto a quanto previsto e mancanza di lavoratori specializzati ( salari troppo bassi rispetto agli altri).

 

L’idea di fare una giga factory in Germania direi si sta rivelando un disastro, come del resto era prevedibile

..e perche tuttavia stanno ampliando la fabbrica in modo evidente (contro la volonta della popolazione locale e contro grande proteste dei ambientalisti) ??
