It's good news for us, but they are supposed to start with Y production. So even with a completed factory they may not be making Cybertrucks right away.
The beautiful thing about any plants built beyond Fremont is the lines are planned along and before construction. Fremont is a maze of intersecting lines that were constructed to fit a plant wayyy before Tesla.
Model Y is a simple modification of the M3. There is no new tech in the MY from the M3. Ok, the heat pump, and we've all seen the DIY Home Depot heat pump wood strips to attach those.....
Not true, there was actually quite a bit of new tech, manufacturing processes and design changes to improve the Y, the frame is almost down to one to two pieces and requires far less welding which has now been improved on the 3 as well. You should watch the Sandy Munro tear down as he covers it incredibly well.
Those changes are all evolutions of what Tesla has been building since 2012. With CT, on top of all of the evolutionary changes (like tri-motor, etc), add all-new window material, all-new body material (this is the biggest question mark), all-new battery cell and pack construction, and on and on. Obviously, this entire thread is speculation, we will eventually know how it turns out. But IMO, thinking that CT will be early, or even on time, is wildly wishful thinking. I say that as someone who has been a customer of Tesla for over 10 years.
I'm...stunned. That spelling is normally supposed to be "bated breath", but because of the phrase before it, you managed to make that misspelling accidentally correct. So with the cat eating the cheese, he has breath that smells like cheese, so that could act as "bait" that would attract a mouse to come to the cat's open mouth, so breath that is bait. Bravo! I've never seen that before.
Based upon the report of a "pilot" CT line being built at Fremont to work out production for TeraTexas, combined with the S/X lines getting extensive rework done, I've speculated in the Investment thread how the CT pilot line might start producing vehicles for delivery well before the CT production in Texas begins.
, it would be great to see something like this unfold.Based upon the report of a "pilot" CT line being built at Fremont to work out production for TeraTexas, combined with the S/X lines getting extensive rework done, I've speculated in the Investment thread how the CT pilot line might start producing vehicles for delivery well before the CT production in Texas begins.
What if the two lines for S/X were combined and production capacity significantly improved, freeing up one of the two S/X lines for CT development?
This leads me to dream upon the possibility of Tesla delivering BEV pickups from Fremont to customers well ahead of Rivian, GM, and Ford offerings, while making headlines in the process.
It is a speculative long-shot, but, fingers crossed
