Simply days after asserting that it had produced its 7 millionth car, Tesla introduced that the Fremont Manufacturing unit has produced its 1 millionth Mannequin Y from GA4. That is an unbelievable achievement, contemplating that the Fremont Manufacturing unit is a facility that’s not constructed particularly to supply Teslas.
The Fremont Manufacturing unit is Tesla’s first manufacturing facility. As per the Q3 2024 Replace Letter, the manufacturing unit at the moment has an put in annual car capability of over 550,000 Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y and 100,000 Mannequin S and Mannequin X. That is decrease than amenities like Giga Shanghai, which might produce over 950,000 Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y, however it’s already very spectacular.

The Fremont Manufacturing unit, in any case, began its life as a conventional automotive plant. Not like later amenities like Gigafactory Texas, which was constructed particularly to supply the Mannequin Y and the Cybertruck, the Fremont Manufacturing unit required loads of technique and creativity earlier than it was in a position to produce the Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y at scale. These included using sprung constructions to deal with an extra normal meeting line for the Mannequin 3, a transfer that caught the eye of Tesla shorts.
This was highlighted by the corporate in its celebratory submit on social media platform X. As famous by Tesla on its official X account, the primary Mannequin 3 from the Fremont Manufacturing unit’s GA4 line was accomplished on June 8, 2018. Since then, GA4 has grown into a powerful car manufacturing line that was in a position to produce the power’s 1 millionth Mannequin Y on Friday, October 25, 2024. That’s not so unhealthy in any respect for a facility that was mocked by critics as a easy “tent.”
I feel all of us collectively neglect that Fremont was constructed by GM, was bought by Tesla for a fraction of what it value. It wasn’t designed for contemporary EV manufacturing so Tesla needed to resort to unthinkable measures to construct 4 totally different fashions, together with tents within the car parking zone. https://t.co/eaPcc0qjjN
