After seeing Elon dance, I suddenly don’t feel so bad about my dance moves, which have been compared to those of Elaine from the “Seinfeld.” The announcer was impressed with Elon’s dance, though.
Tesla has just released short videos from inside the Shanghai Gigafactory showing many steps of the production line and manufacturing processes of the Tesla Model 3. Let’s take a look.
Plans for Tesla’s Gigafactory 4 (GF4) in Berlin/Brandenburg include 24/7 production, 3 shifts of 2,828 personnel, 326 material trucks + 4 full trains per day, and 137 outgoing car transporters + 2 full trains per day, according to a document in German shared by a Twitter user, Aeon De.
