Tesla receives an army of robots to construct the Cybertruck.

Tesla will soon receive a small army of Kuka robots, which will be used to construct the Cybertruck electric pickup truck.

At this time, we are not discussing a Tesla Bot army.

The majority of Kuka robots are manufacturing-related industrial arm robots. Along with a few FANUC robots, it is Tesla's favoured robot for the majority of its production line.

In order to construct the Model Y manufacturing lines, Tesla received a sizable consignment of Kuka robots at the Gigafactory Texas last year, as we reported.

A bill of landing discovered by Twitter user @gregtruck indicates that Tesla is currently receiving another sizable purchase of Kuka robots:

Despite being a big quantity, most car assembly lines do not actually require that many robots.

Of course, this could be just one of many shipments to come, but Tesla has also been striving to streamline its manufacturing lines and over the past few years, has been able to dramatically reduce both the number of robots and the amount of production space required.

This batch of robots arrived at the same time as Cybertruck production.For the much anticipated commencement of the Cybertruck's manufacturing in 2023, Tesla has begun taking deliveries and installing production machinery.

Tesla has been aiming for a mid-2023 production start, but it has also consistently stated that after the Model Y enters full production in the Gigafactory Texas, the production teams' attention would switch to Cybertruck.

The car manufacturer just revealed that Gigafactory Texas was able to produce 3,000 vehicles in a single week. The initial target, which Tesla frequently uses when discussing about "volume production," was 5,000 vehicles per week

At its Gigafactory Texas, Tesla intends to produce 5,000 vehicles on average each week.

It would take place at the same time as a shift in emphasis toward starting Cybertruck production in the first several months of 2023.
