Every 40 seconds Tesla Giga Shanghai releases a Model Y Body-in-White: report

 A recent report from China has given some information about the operations at the Gigafactory. The massive electric vehicle plant is said to be able to produce a car in 40 seconds or less. In the second quarter of the year, Giga Shanghai was forced to halt operations due to Covid lockdowns in China, and TSLA stock was hit by Musk's acquisition of social media platform Twitter.

 The company was able to produce over one million cars and deliver over one million cars in the next four years. The facility produced its one millionth vehicle in August of 2022. It took less than three years for the company to hit one million vehicles in China. The facility has been able to roll out a Model Y body-in-white every 40 seconds because of its efficiency.

It took less than three years from the delivery of the first Chinese-made model to the achievement of this milestone, which became a phenomenal record in the history of the automotive industry. The publication noted that the Model Y can be rolled off in about 40 seconds.

The factory is able to create an environment for new automotive energy components, which include batteries, automotive chips, autonomous driving systems, and automotive interiors. This helps the facility achieve safety, independence, and controllability. It should be noted that the facility has been designated as the primary vehicle export hub by the company.
