The Fremont assembly plant is closed from July 21st to August 4th. When the plant is restarted, the capacity of the Model S is expected to increase by about 25%. Overall, Tesla will cost about $100 million for this, including an additional 25 robots to enter most automated production processes.
According to Simon Sproule, “This represents the largest investment that has really started since Tesla's operation, which has led to a further increase in our car production, which will result in the production of Model X and Model S together on one production line. â€
The change in capacity will be reflected in the weekly production of Model S, with a maximum capacity of 1,000 vehicles per week, which is also the benchmark for Tesla's CEO Elon Musk for a long time.
In February of this year, Tesla's official website MODEL X began accepting reservations. There are two types of prepaid deposits. The maximum deposit can be the first MODEL X owners in 2015, and the delivery time for delivery of low-value deposit vehicles cannot be determined. In China, MODEL X can also be booked, the deposit is 30,000 yuan, and the official delivery time is not clearly stated.
According to the scheduled status of Model X tracked by Tesla Motors Club, the latest data shows that the number of cars has exceeded 18,000, and the number of reservations in North America alone exceeds 13,000.
