Tesla applies to expand Texas Gigafactory, may prepare for Cybertruck
Recently, Tesla submitted an application to the city of Austin, Texas, hoping to expand its super car factory in Texas. According to the knowledge of the car group, Tesla plans to expand this super factory by about 500,000 square feet, or about 46,500 square meters.
Tesla said in a filing that it will expand the No. 2 and No. 3 areas of the Texas Gigafactory. Some bloggers predict that Tesla plans to expand the factory this time, perhaps in preparation for its model CyberTruck. Because Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously said that the CyberTruck will be produced in the Texas Gigafactory.
Tesla's Texas Gigafactory is one of several Gigafactories around the world. In addition, Tesla also has similar car factories in Shanghai, Berlin and other places. It is reported that the Texas Gigafactory has invested more than 10 billion US dollars. Construction will start in 2020, and it will be completed and put into production in 2022. It covers an area of 12,000 acres and is currently Tesla's largest car factory. By comparison, the Shanghai Gigafactory Only about a quarter of its footprint. At the same time, when the Texas Gigafactory first opened, the plant was expected to produce about 500,000 Model Y units in a year.
Although at first glance the recently spotted Tesla Cybertruck looks nearly identical to the original prototype/concept shown in November 2019, the electric truck has undergone some pretty notable changes. However, there will be no additional major changes, according to Elon Musk, who announced in an interview that the Cybertruck's design is "finally locked in."
The Tesla Cybertruck was released in the United States in November 2019. Consumer bookings were opened on the day of publication. The first delivery date was booked at the end of 2021. The entry price of the US official website at the time was $39,900.
However, there have been reports of difficulties in the development of Cybertruck in the follow-up market, and after Ford announced the F-150 Lightning and announced that it will be delivered in 2022, all walks of life are paying more attention to the schedule of Cybertruck mass production, but, just after Elon Musk shouted Not long after mass production at the end of 2021, Cybertruck confirmed the delay to mass production in 2022; and the latest news is that Elon Musk once again announced that Cybertruck will delay mass production until 2023.
