Very detailed video of Gigafactory Shanghai.
At 35 seconds, they are showing us the new battery cells and pack.
At 46 seconds they show us the robot welding the fusible links from each cell to a current collector on an entire battery pack (no more battery modules). Btw, this battery architecture is one of many reasons why Tesla battery packs don’t catch fire like the GM ones do.
At 1:31 they show two workers guiding seats into the car. I know that used to be completed automated for Model S back in the day at Fremont, interesting that it requires humans now (either because it’s a Model Y or ?).
1:43 they show Autopilot camera aiming which I thought was interesting. Those round targets aren’t going to catch slight rotations, but that’s handled during in car calibration when you first get the car.
