Tesla headquarters in Palo Alto.
In Tesla's so-called world's most intelligent fully automated production workshop, from raw material processing to finished product assembly, all production processes are self-sufficient except for a small number of parts...
Keke, of course, this is Andy's special sample workshop.
A custom tailored suit, spotless white shirt and blue striped tie make Andy Smith look more smart. Facing the little flying shoes beside the president and the Minister of energy, as well as a group of reporters who keep recording something, Andy talks with high spirits.
"There are more than 150 robots participating in the four manufacturing links, namely, stamping production line, body center, paint baking center and assembly center. Of course, in the workshop you seldom see the shadow of someone...
Every robot can do many kinds of actions...
Six seconds to complete a bonnet stamping...
Here is the fine machining of the engine...
A robot can carry the frame independently. The whole process runs in a pipeline. The robot and robot are connected seamlessly. The whole process is completed by the computer-controlled robot according to the preset program! "
Wow -
the accompanying crowd was immediately shocked by the super automatic production plant in front of them. Looking at the scene that there are few people in the clean and spacious workshop, all of them have the feeling of "unemployment".
Even Xiaofei's shoes are a little dignified. To be honest, everything in front of him is beyond his imagination. We need to know that Tesla before was not like this, more like a workshop.
In order to alleviate the shortage of funds, Tesla has applied to the U.S. government for the advanced technology vehicle production loan program (ATVM), which aims to support new engine technology and encourage the development of new energy technology. The plan was launched in 2007.
At that time, someone came to inspect it, and there was no later. Therefore, Tesla's capital chain was broken, and it was acquired by Andy Smith at a low price. As long as it took, the workshop became a super factory with full sense of technology in the future.
Andy's face was always with a calm smile, and he was very satisfied with the shocked response of all the people, and his heart was full of pride. Of course, several executives of Tesla also pretended to be very arrogant and raised their chin slightly, but in fact, they were in a state of confusion.
Because they know that this workshop is used by the boss to fool people. Although the full-automatic assembly room is really awesome, the cost of NIMA is too high, and it is absolutely impossible to popularize it. Moreover, the current profitability of Tesla electric vehicles is not so good. Although the electric super running project can be mass produced, and the cost can be reduced, the profit space is also larger However, in the face of the financial storm, the sales volume decreased accordingly.
However, the R & D work of model s and model X has been carried out. R & D is the most expensive work. The funds from selling electric super cars before have been invested in it. If you don't find a way to solve the capital problem, you need to burn the boss's money if you say no.
Tesla's executives all know that the arrival of the small flying shoes will be a great opportunity, otherwise, the big boss will not take this set of the most shocking super automation out to run fooling people.
"Mr. Smith, as far as I know, Tesla's profitability
Although a reporter was shocked by the scene of the workshop, he remained skeptical. After all, Tesla's profit level is clear to all. This workshop alone represents nothing, and it's probably very difficult to popularize larger factories.
Andy takes a look at each other, perceives the eyes of Xiaofei shoes and the Minister of energy staring at him, and calmly says, "when something is important enough, even if the profit doesn't meet your expectation, you still need to persevere in doing it!"
"All you see is the efforts of our Tesla people. We are dreamers and pioneers. All we have to do is to promote innovation in the global electric vehicle industry.
Everyone is very familiar with the Greater Los Angeles area, but you find that there is no clear difference between the blue sky here and the rest of the United States. There is little blue and purple sky, but more of a light blue.
In the air quality ranking for many years, the Greater Los Angeles area, including Los Angeles and Orange County, has always been the most ozone polluted area in the United States, while Fresno in the Central Valley has become the most seriously polluted city in the United States, with the PM2.5 index easily exceeding 100.
The population is dense, the car is numerous, the industry is dense. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Los Angeles suffers from the problems of industrial pollution accumulation and poor air flow. Although decades have passed since the photochemical smog incident, we cannot forget the damage caused by the disaster. The issue of exhaust emissions has become a major issue that all countries in the world attach great importance to.
And what we, Tesla, are doing is to completely eliminate the exhaust gas, let people use cleaner energy vehicles, and give the world a blue sky without pollution! "
Pa pa -
Andy's sudden speech brought the most enthusiastic applause to all the people present. They all felt a sense of awe to Andy Smith and the Tesla executives present. They were a group of entrepreneurs with a sense of responsibility and mission.Xiaofei shoes are smiling and clapping, and the Minister of energy on one side is clapping hard. He has a great affection for the young super rich in front of him.
"Andy, to be honest, I'm really surprised to see all this. You're really a genius with amazing ability to make a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy become such a dazzling technology pioneer. I came to the right place this time and opened my eyes!"
Xiaofei shoes patted Andy's back very kindly. He said with a happy smile as he walked with Andy.
Listening to xiaofeixie's recovery of Texan accent english, I couldn't help but slightly froze, then smiled and shook my head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. President, to be honest, it's too expensive to dream about this kind of thing. After all, my personal ability is limited. Now Tesla's R & D funds are in trouble again, and I have to seek support from the federal government."
"Ha ha, you are not honest at all, your ability is limited? This joke is not funny at all, ha ha Xiaofei shoes jokingly joked, but after laughing, she continued solemnly: "how about a $400 million low interest loan?"
"500 million bar, we can let the model s and model X series you saw earlier complete mass production as soon as possible, and the support of the federal government is really important to us." Andy bargains.
Xiaofeixie shakes her head and laughs. Looking to one side, Samuel, the Minister of energy, asks, "you are the Minister of energy. You have the most say. What do you think?"
"What we see today is very shocking. Tesla can be called a model of innovation. It is the leading position of new energy vehicles in the world. It is absolutely ahead of any professional automobile factory in the world. We should support the research and development of new energy vehicles. We should also support the development of new energy vehicles in policies, such as car purchase subsidies, and encourage consumers to buy electric vehicles 。。。”
Musell, as the Minister of energy, will also step down with Xiaofei shoes. He also has his own political needs. He is very optimistic about the future trend of new energy vehicles. He can support a unicorn company in his post and leave a precious political asset.
"Ha ha, that's it. Andy, Tesla will be the last loan of my ATVM program. I hope we don't let it down. " Xiaofei shoes smile very bright, and Andy walked to the exhibition hall side by side, where he also needs to make a speech as president.
"Innovative products and enterprises change the world, subvert the industry and create a legend. Its success depends on entrepreneurs and engineers who are forward-looking, adventurous and innovative. But what can't be ignored is the soil and mechanism behind the encouragement and cultivation of innovation
Andy, who has returned to Shanhai manor, hugs the saihuang shoulder who is feeding little Laura, watches the president of xiaofeixie on TV, in the crowd of Tesla employees, making a speech with a smile on his face, revealing his determination to vigorously support and promote new energy, and is angry.
