Tesla assembly Plant for the first time due to product line upgrades, to speed up Model S production

According to a news report in Beijing July 22, the only assembly plant in Tesla was discontinued for the first time due to a product line upgrade, Bloomberg reported. Tesla said the adjustment was aimed at speeding up Model S production and preparing for the production of electric SUV models.

Simon Sproule, a spokesman for Tesla, said it would begin reconfiguring the production floors of the Simon Sproll in Mon, Calif., in Monday, with Auto assembly resuming on August 4, with the aim of boosting capacity by 25%.

Sproll said the upgrade would invest 100 million dollars, add 25 robots, and adjust factory bodies and General Assembly lines. "This is the biggest investment we've ever made since I started it, and it allows us to get higher capacity," said Splinter, "and we're ready to make model X and assemble model S on the same product line." ”

Tesla CEO Ellon MASC Elon Musk has said he expects Tesla to deliver at least 35,000 model S to global customers this year, up 56% per cent from last year. Tesla's global expansion plan was the first to start shipping to the Chinese and British markets in the second quarter of this year, and the company will also ship to Hong Kong, Japan and Australia in the second half of the year.

Musk said in a letter to investors May 7 that Tesla's car production was around 700 per week at the end of the first quarter of this year, with the goal of raising it to 1000 units later this year. Model S is priced at $71,000 in the United States.

Sproll said Tesla's weekly car production was close to 800 per week before the product line was upgraded. Musk said in May that the upgrade would allow factory production to idle for about 10 days in July.
