mine wasnt much better - I had to google images of an F350 real quick to see if I was misremembering
LOL. That's fair. And, with the assist handle (oh sh!t handle), that A pillar+door trim was substantial.
Production starts in 2 weeks.
The Model Y line would disagree with that statement. They are working the Y line, of course, but still. When I was working at GM doing industrial engineering work on the cross-body harness line, would you care to know how many iterations it took to train someone to work at a typical station? Less than a day. Way less than a day in most cases.
Tesla knows the early production will be in fits and starts so they will probably run the line 2-3 weeks initially without a full complement of line workers because every new human is expensive and they don't want too many low-skilled newbies standing around for hours while the kinks are worked out of the production equipment. There will be engineers and other team members testing out the line initially.
Yup, some experienced Model Y workers who might have been training for Cybertruck go to startup the Cybertruck line.
doesn't giga texas currently make over 25000 model y's a year... if so... why would they not start a brand new line with some experienced workers?? and the start of a prod line is SLOW first turn it on for a few cars... make those tinker and fix the line then try again... STARTING production should require FAR fewer linemen than running it all out.
I watch LinkedIn profiles for a handful of "Cybertruck" stamped individuals. Some I have seen promote within the higher rolls still on the project.
Gotta hire the people who are going to train the people on the line and they have to assemble the methods first to do that, and in doing so, they make the first production-intent trucks.
