Tesla Giga Shanghai’s only needs ~2.5 hours to build a Model YL end-to-end. This is a 75% reduction from Tesla’s pre-2023 internal KPIs of 8-10 hours, achieved via unboxed parallel assembly (where subassemblies like chassis, battery, and interior converge simultaneously rather than sequentially). For context, VW’s legacy plants clock in at 20-30 hours per vehicle, …
There is robotics revolution in manufacturing, with a focus on Tesla, Foxconn and Nvidia as major players driving the shift toward AI-driven and robotic factories. Key points: The U.S. is entering a new era of manufacturing powered by automation, AI, and robotics, aiming to reshore production and increase efficiency. Foxconn and Amazon have experimented with …
DNA nanostructures can perform some of the complex robotic fabrication process for manufacturing and self-replication. Building things and performing work with nanorobots has been a major technical and scientific goal. This has been done and published in the peer reviewed journal Science. Nadrian C. “Ned” Seeman (December 16, 1945 – November 16, 2021) was an …
Tesla is heading to a few big lego pieces put together by Teslabots in less than one hour. This is the unboxed process and the progression of casting large and complex pieces. In 2020, the Tesla Model 3 had 10,000 parts and took about ten hours to build from the start of the carbuild in …
There is video evidence that Teslabots are in a Tesla factory working on production equipment on a production process to make production parts for production cars. The robots aren't coming. They are already here. This is not a lab. This is on the production floor. That is production equipment. That is a production process. That …
China’s battery maker and electric car companies were up from 1.5%-11% on hopes of “extraordinary policies to address the lack in downstream manufacturing companies”. CATL largest battery supplier in the world and major Tesla supplier is up about 2% on China’s stock exchange. NIO and Xpeng are high-end electric car makers and are up about …
The world of manufacturing has evolved. There is now an expectation to stay up-to-date on necessary technology and digital applications. It might seem daunting for manufacturing companies to keep up with demand and stay ahead of the competition. This is especially true for smaller companies when they think about shifting toward digital operations. Thankfully, the …
I, Brian Wang, have researched the car chip shortage. Many people have said that the car chip shortage will clear up by the second half of 2022 but they are wrong. The car chip shortage will last until 2024. Tesla has already been handling the shortage better than the other car companies and I have …
Tesla has vastly superior engineering talent and business and engineering processes. Tesla has the lead with drivetrain, battery and control systems and aerodynamics and materials. Tesla has about 70% of the US EV market and 20% of the global EV market. This market share is even more dominant when only EVs in the same price …
NASA has awarded a $142 million contract to Maxar Technologies of Westminster, Colorado,to robotically assemble a communications antenna and manufacture a spacecraft beam in orbit. The technology demonstration is slated to take place on NASA’s Restore-L spacecraft, designed to service and refuel a satellite in low-Earth orbit. Above – The Space Infrastructure Dexterous Robot (SPIDER) …
Andrew Ng, who helped start the Google Brain project and previously served as the head of Baidu’s AI efforts, announced Landing.ai, a company aimed at helping businesses in the manufacturing sector transform themselves into AI companies. Ng picked manufacturing because it has a number of problems that machine learning techniques can help with, and AI …
