SOS 🚨 For years, the question was how fast Tesla could build cars. With Cybercab, the question is how fast the world can make room for them 🔥 During Munro’s tour of the Cybercab factory, @larsmoravy revealed that the line doesn’t even run every day. In his words, “the line can run so fast it’s currently outpacing our robotaxi deployments, so it’s a bit of a race right now to see who can go faster.” That’s a remarkable reversal for Tesla. During the Model 3 ramp, the factory was the bottleneck, and Elon famously called it “production hell”. When Tesla later pushed its lines toward even more automation, it hit a wall. As Lars put it, “the problem wasn’t the automation. The problem was the design”. That’s why Cybercab was designed around the factory from day one. The car is split into modules that are built and tested in parallel, then joined in about 25 final assembly stations, roughly a fifth to a tenth of what a Model Y needs. The framing line is fully automated, and the whole operation was planned to build thousands of cars a week in about half the usual floor space. Now the race has moved, and that flips how expansion works. Normally, a new market has to wait for the factory to catch up. With Cybercab, the cars could be ready before the next city is. And once the cities start catching up, this line finally gets to run every day.
