[TechWeb] News on December 16, recently, a visiting group of more than ten professional respondents from Zhihu Automobile and other fields was invited to visit Tesla’s Shanghai Super Factory and held an in-depth dialogue with Tesla.
Prior to this, Tao Lin settled in Zhihu under her real name and answered many hot questions about Tesla and new energy vehicles.
[Picture] The industry believes that Zhihu has many professionals in the automotive field, from automotive engineers and industry chain practitioners, so Zhihu’s discussions on automotive topics are more professional and in-depth.
The arrival of the world’s leading new energy vehicle companies and the in-depth interaction with the creators of the station mark that Zhihu is becoming one of the most valuable professional discussion forums in the automotive field.
, During this visit, we learned that the respondents ‘primary concern was the production capacity of Tesla’s Shanghai super factory.
It is reported that Tesla’s Shanghai super factory covers an area of about 860,000 square meters, while the Berlin factory covers an area of 3 million square meters.
The earliest California factory also covers an area of 1.
5 million square meters.
But this seemingly pocket-sized super factory has a production capacity of 950,000 units in 2023, and a complete vehicle will be rolled off the production line every more than 30 seconds, completing more than half of Tesla’s total deliveries that year.
During personal visits, visits and dialogues, the Zhihu answers found some answers.
The answer owner “jasoncheng” said that a distinctive feature of Tesla’s Shanghai super factory is its high utilization of space.
“The factory makes full use of the three-story three-dimensional space and closed streamline planning, and does not have warehousing to maximize production capacity and space.
” Zhihu’s answer,”Chengsir Dad”, interpreted this phenomenon from the production process, saying that Tesla’s “integrated die-casting” process makes parts no longer need to be manufactured and assembled separately like traditional processes.
“The time is also shortened to 3-5 minutes, which greatly simplifies the production process and time and improves production efficiency.
” During the visit, Tesla Vice President Tao Lin also answered various questions raised by the respondents on the spot.
When asked if there is any unique working method at Tesla, Tao Lin said,”We advocate a” five-step working method “: the first is to question each requirement to ensure its rationality.
the second is to simplify the process.
The third is to optimize based on the first two steps, the fourth is acceleration, and the fifth is to achieve automation.
Tao Lin said,”In our daily work, we try to avoid unnecessary meetings and strive to be direct and efficient.
In terms of the underlying logic of R & D, our goal is to constantly pursue the limits of physics rather than blindly compare ourselves with others.
