Want some interesting Giga Texas updates & information? This is assembled from various channels & a few observations I've made.
Model Y production will be paused for line upgrades in the beginning of July. The period of down time is scheduled to last approximately 5 days.
Giga Texas is switching away from swing shifts, instead going to Day and Night shifts only. This will take into effect after the production line upgrades are completed. This seems to be a very popular change with employees.
Expect an initial short-term decline in Model Y production rate after the upgrades. This is to allow employees to be trained & become familiar with the revised production lines, equipment, & layouts, then rapidly recover.
After this short period, expect production rate to increase (more Model Y’s can be produces per unit of time) … uncertain what the increased production weekly rates will be, but higher than the recent 5K Model Y’s per week rate Giga Texas achieved.
Personnel who were formerly on the swing shift are being redirected to the Cybertruck production lines to finalize testing, calibration & get the lines into production status. This will likely take place throughout July and into early August.
There is a new Tesla manufacturing site just south of Austin in the Kyle, Texas area (about 20 miles or 32 Km southwest of Giga Texas). This site is reported to produce seats & possibly some other sub-assemblies.
This new manufacturing site may support both Model Y and Cybertruck. Uncertain when this facility will begin production, but likely within the next few months. The idea is to increase overall production capacity.
