Tesla has been aiming to produce 10,000 vehicles per week at the factory by the end of the year. The ramp up has been difficult as Tesla has been building the Model Ys at Gigafactory Texas with its new 4680 battery cell and structural battery pack, which have been the bottleneck. It is one of Tesla’s most important projects, as it invested billions of dollars in the giant factory, and it will not recoup that money until the plant reaches volume production.Īfter slowly starting production of the Model Y late in 2021, Tesla has been gradually ramping up and started deliveries of Texas-built Model Y vehicles in April.

However, Gigafactory Texas is facing different challenges then Gigafactory Berlin. Will the CT be 100% 4680s? Will there be a 500 mile range? Will Munro teardowns show improved energy density? Increased charging rate? We all eagerly await. I think most investors are looking to the Cybertruck to finally reveal where Tesla is. ![]() So far, they havent met their goals, both in expected production rate, and in energy density.
