Tesla’s Master Class In Modular Assembly

[Cyber Canuck]

Eye opening Model Y modular assembly video for me, thought I would share. I can only imagine what they have in store for the Cybertruck in cost reduction and simplicity!

Check out the Cybertruck’s minimalist interior. You simply can’t remove anything else from the cabin.

The Tesla designers have specced an interior that should be easy and quick to assemble. It will also help lower Cybertruck manufacturing costs.

The driver is treated to 4 items after getting seated. A steering wheel, display, accelerator pedal and brake pedal.

Say goodbye to old school stalks! Owners will be activating the turn signals via buttons on the steering wheel.

note the fasteners attaching the upper SS roof section to the BIW

It looks like if Tesla gets into a price war, it could have half price deals on these and still make money. The sad thing is nobody except Chinese can give them that price war (certainly not the big three, especially after this strike). He said the "Jigga casting" was the expensive part. I wonder if it is damaged in an accident how much the quote will be for it, or will the car be considered totaled.

Never even noticed there was a glovebox until now.

Don't forget the rear view video display.

You can always remove a tad more ego from the cabin.

something tells me.that photo of the CT is not a current production run. More of a beta build.

This makes it clear what Optimus first job will be. Especially with what is happening with UAW, Tesla must be getting ready to replace the remaining workers with Optimus if they become demanding.

CT interior is so no-nonsense in your face matter of fact. It's a PERFECT example of the keep it simple stupid approach. K.I.S.S

I personally love the minimalist interior of the Cybertruck. It‘s as futuristic as the exterior and will be easy to keep clean.

My favorite interior feature are the LED light strips running across the dash and all 4 doors. They are most likely color adjustable as well.

To the moon, baby! And then Mars.

• main housing 139 individual stamped components

Sarcasm aside this Tesla modularity and engineering for efficient assembly (and ease of service) is impressive.

Several years ago, I took my 2010 Camaro into the dealer under warranty for an evaporator replacement and an oil cooler leak.

When I went in to check on the car, it was half disassembled. I said WTF to the service rep and he explained:

Evaporator replacement: (located in the dash).
Step 1: remove the windshield. (I kid you not)
Step 2: remove 2 long bolts from the dash at the base of the windshield.
etc.

Accumulator replacement:
Step 1) remove the front fascia.

Oil Cooler replacement:
Step 1) Remove the engine lower K frame.

I was speechless.

Keep in mind that the FSD robo taxi will most likely not have the "steering wheel, display, accelerator pedal and brake pedal." Seems there are still items that can be removed from the cabin. Well, there might be an entertainment screen with info on how the trip is going so maybe the display will still be there.

That’s was surprisingly interesting for me. Thanks!
