Chapter 1711

“。。。 This is the design drawing of Tesla's super factory, covering 13.6 million square feet. This is full of wind turbines and the world's largest solar roof array. It has fully realized the use of all green energy. After its completion, it will become one of the largest physical building structures in the world, and also greatly improve the production capacity of Tesla's electric vehicles.

The first super plant will be a manufacturing plant that relies entirely on electricity without using fossil fuels.

Through a 70 MW rooftop solar array and solar ground facilities, we will use 100% sustainable energy.

The newly built rooftop solar array system covers more than seven times the area of the largest solar array system in the world

Andy accompanied Odyssey and the Minister of new energy to visit the shocking all robot factory first, and then opened the new concept flicker mode. With the introduction of Tesla executives, he looked at the concept map of the so-called Tesla super factory.

"Have you chosen the construction site?"

Aoguanhai looked at the design drawing of the super factory and asked what he cared most.

The previous visit really shocked aoguanhai. No one has a car factory, all of which are robot efficient working scenes, which not only shocked people, but also made people feel that the factory in the future should be like this.

"Because of the large area and the need for sufficient sunlight to meet the solar array, we are investigating several western states with large areas of deserts." Andy is fishing with this super factory. When he sees the fish bite, he will naturally cooperate to say what he wants to hear.

"Is this super factory a car factory?"

Hearing the question from aoguanhai, Andy explained directly: "it is a" super battery factory "and an important chip for Tesla in the future. After completion, Tesla can greatly improve its battery capacity and improve the current capacity problems encountered by Tesla.

But it could cost as much as $5 billion, providing Tesla with half a million batteries a year. "

"When are you going to start this project?" Aoguanhai and energy minister look at each other and ask Andy.

"We also want to start building it as soon as possible. After all, our battery technology has made a breakthrough. However, we don't have enough money. It's not enough!" Andy shook his head and said helplessly.

"Ha ha, don't be kidding. You're Andy Smith. You don't have enough money?" Aoguanhai laughed and joked. All the people around him could not help laughing.

"A carrot a pit, the richest man's family has no spare money." Andy said with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha..."

The crowd laughed and the atmosphere became more cheerful. Oguan asked with a smile, "you said before, your battery technology has a new breakthrough?"

"Yes, scientists at MIT, funded by Tesla, have developed a new battery material processing technology that can be used to make smaller rechargeable batteries, and the charging and discharging speed is expected to be shortened to minutes or even seconds rather than hours.

The technology has the potential to significantly reduce the charging time of mobile phones and laptops, and can also be used to create electric vehicles with better acceleration performance. "

Andy introduced with a little pride and pride that technology is the first productivity. As long as Tesla's electric vehicle technology keeps leading in the world, Andy is not worried about Tesla's collapse at all.

"The technological progress of this new battery is revolutionary to the industry!" The Minister of new energy on one side is naturally very aware of the importance of this new technology, and is not stingy about his praise and approval.

"Andy, let's see your new car. The outside world pays close attention to your model s plan all the time."

"Ha ha, no problem, Mr. President, please, Mr. Minister --" Andy, with a brilliant smile on his face, reached for the invitation, and then walked to Tesla's vehicle test site together.

If the beginning of 2008 is the year of Tesla's life and death, then 2009 is a year of continuous miracles. After Andy Smith officially took over, the whole Tesla has undergone tremendous changes. The biggest change is to live without tightening his belt.

In 2008, according to the requirements of Andy Smith, the rapid start-up model s plan went smoothly. The design, testing and prototype manufacturing were successfully completed in early February 2009. For a young automobile company whose first product is not yet fully mature, it must be said that the team's creativity and execution are amazing.

Standing outside the car, Andy looks at sitting in the model s test car with a smile on his face, listening carefully to the president's Olympic view introduced by the chief engineer of model s R & D, and looking at the streamlined appearance of the model s prototype car, he is also very proud of himself. Andy wants Tesla to be far ahead of his peers in product design, technology accumulation and business model construction Only in this way can competitors survive better and grow stronger."It's great. I think it's the most beautiful, advanced and cheap electric car in the world!" After learning more about the model s electric vehicle, aoguanhai walked out of the car, he was generous with his praise.

"Although all countries are full of confidence in reducing carbon emissions, it is not easy to do so. In the future, electric vehicles will be valued and promoted by more and more governments."

Hearing the president's words, people nodded in agreement.

"Andy, let's talk..."

"It's my pleasure. Mr. President, please --"

listen to the conversation between the two. Everyone else stops knowingly. Aoguanhai takes off his suit, puts one hand in his pocket, and puts the suit on his shoulder with the other hand. Chuckling and Andy are chatting in Tesla's Park. Secret service agents and Andy's bodyguards are scattered around to keep them in a safe position In the retainer.

"Andy, I have to say that Tesla gives people a wonderful feeling. However, it is also expected that you are lucky to survive and grow through the world-class team, ideal leaders and good Silicon Valley entrepreneurial environment in the most difficult and expensive automobile industry. At the same time, the technological progress brought by Tesla is revolutionary to the industry As an American, I pay the highest tribute to Tesla. "

"Thank you!" Andy's praise for aoguanhai, a very calm smile and thanks, accompanied him to walk in the park, "for innovation, I always said to them, you need to be naive, because if you are too mature, you will know the difficulties you are going to encounter and shrink back, they are a group of very good guys, doing well."

"Ha ha, it's more than good. By the way, Andy, I heard that Tesla intends to acquire the new United Automobile Manufacturing Company to increase production capacity? How is it going? " Aoguanhaiyan flashed a brilliant, smiling, seemingly concerned.

Andy knows that Rou is coming. If he wants to get another loan from aoguanhai, the "bait" that has been thrown out for a long time is an important part of it.

The new United Auto manufacturing company is facing bankruptcy, and the bankruptcy of such a factory will cause 5000 people to lose their jobs. At the same time, their Tesla company is worried about not having a complete automobile production line to mass produce their own electric vehicles.

In this way, Andy will send someone to negotiate with the new United Automobile manufacturing company, and at the same time, he will make a rumor that he wants to buy the latter, so as to show his kindness to the Olympic government and say that he can solve more employment problems, so as to attract the attention of the White House, and Tesla can get support again.

It has to be said that this strategy has worked.

"Yes, we do have the idea of acquiring the other party, just to make up for our own production capacity. However, the key is still the price. In fact, the external doubts are right. The green energy industry is really a money burning industry. It's too expensive to conduct research and development and experiment, especially the mass production problem. Mr. President, you can't see the research and development achievements of the models, But I don't know when to wait for the real mass production, because I can't afford so much money. In particular, we have a super charging station project. Ah, now when I think about this, I have a headache to death

Andy began to cry for poverty with no more than 13 faces. This is the world. The crying children have Nai to drink. Moreover, aoguanhai is also their own calculation. When to cry without crying.

"Well, Andy, come on, how much do you want?" Aoguanhai naturally knows what Andy means. However, for him who is now in the midst of many criticisms and doubts, he urgently needs a bright spot to disperse the fire and people's dissatisfaction. There is nothing more suitable than solving the problem of unemployment of 5000 people.

"500 million" Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to open his hand. He motioned in front of the oguan sea: "give us another $500 million interest free loan. We can not only buy United Automobile manufacturing company, but also formally start mass production of model S. 5000 car makers are certainly not enough. We will need a large number of skilled workers."

"Yes." Aoguanhai agreed without hesitation, but looked a little serious and said to Andy: "but Andy, you know, the reform ability of the new government has been questioned, and many policies have been pointed to reverse. I hope to support you, become a bright spot, and also hope to start from energy reform to boost the economy."

"Of course, I will never let my friends down! Without the support of the president, we can't complete the acquisition of the joint venture, let alone the mass production of new models. In that case, we can only watch the joint venture go bankrupt, the workers lose their jobs, and no new jobs can be created. " Andy smiled and said the promise that aoguanhai wanted to hear.
