Технологийн салбарын шинжээч Райан Шоу Tesla компанийн Остин дахь үйлдвэрийн угсралтын шугам таван секунд тутамд нэг автомашин үйлдвэрлэх зорилтоо биелүүлэх боломжтой эсэхийг судалжээ.
Одоогоор Tesla Шанхай, Фремонт, Берлин болон Остин дахь дөрвөн үйлдвэрээрээ дамжуулан жилд 2.25 сая гаруй автомашин үйлдвэрлэх хүчин чадалтай бөгөөд энэ нь дунджаар 14 секунд тутамд нэг машин үйлдвэрлэх үзүүлэлт юм. Гэвч эрэлт хэрэгцээ болон батерейны нийлүүлэлтийн хэлбэлзлээс шалтгаалан 2025 онд энэ хугацаа 19 секунд болж удаашраад байна. Үйлдвэрлэлийн хурдыг таван секунд болгон нэмэгдүүлэхийн тулд тус компани бүтээмжээ дөрөв дахин өсгөх шаардлагатай болж байна.
Энэхүү зорилтыг биелүүлэхийн тулд Tesla “Unboxed Process” хэмээх шинэ угсралтын технологийг Остин дахь үйлдвэртээ нэвтрүүлж байна. Энэ нь машиныг урд, хойд, хажуу болон шал гэсэн томоохон хэсгүүдэд хувааж, зэрэгцээ угсрах аргачлал бөгөөд ингэснээр робот болон ажилтнууд нэгэн зэрэг ажиллах боломж бүрдэж, үйлдвэрлэлийн талбайг 40 хувиар, зардлыг хоёр дахин бууруулах тооцоо гарчээ. Илон Маск уг процессын тусламжтайгаар одоогоор 10 секунд тутамд нэг Cybercab үйлдвэрлэж байгааг дурдсан байна.
Гэсэн хэдий ч таван секундын зорилтод хүрэхийн тулд роботжсон ажлын байрыг бүрэн нэвтрүүлж, үйлдвэрүүдийн тоог нэмэгдүүлэх шаардлагатай. Мөн батерейны үйлдвэрлэлийг угсралтын хурдтай нийцүүлэн өргөжүүлэх нь хамгийн тулгамдсан асуудал хэвээр байна. Tesla компанийн түүхэнд 2008 онд анхны Roadster загвараар эхэлж, 2012 онд Model S, 2016 онд Model X, 2019 онд Cybertruck зэрэг шинэлэг загваруудыг зах зээлд танилцуулж ирсэн туршлагатай юм.

This American man did an investigation into Tesla’s new Austin assembly line to see if it was meeting its goal of building a car every five seconds.
Some may call this goal ambitious, while others may say it’s unrealistic.
Whatever the case may be, YouTuber Ryan Shaw wanted to see if it could be done.
So he did a deep dive to crunch the numbers and see what was plausible.
Why Tesla’s pushing itself so hard to build a car every five seconds
Ryan Shaw’s content covers Tesla and Tech, so he’s in a perfect position to assess whether Tesla’s new target is reasonable.
As it currently stands, Tesla’s production capacity of more than 2.25 million vehicles is spread across four factories – Shanghai, Freemont, Berlin, and Austin.
If all four factories were working at capacity, the company would be producing a car every 14 seconds on a global scale.
However, due to fluctuations in demand and battery pack capacity, it was more like one car every 19 seconds in 2025.
If Tesla wanted to achieve its future goal of one car every five seconds, it would need to quadruple its output.
Could that be done?
Was it possible to build a car every five seconds?
In order to boost its speed limits, Tesla’s doing away with the traditional assembly line in favor of the ‘Unboxed Process’ at its Austin factory.
What is the Unboxed Process?
“It splits the car into large subassemblies,” Shaw explained.
“The front, the rear, the sides, and the floor each get built in parallel as open modules with people and robots work on every surface at once instead of crawling in and out of a closed body,” he said.
“And then one final marriage step snaps everything together into a finished vehicle.”
This has several benefits – allowing more people and robots to work on a vehicle at the same time, reducing assembly footprint by 40 percent, and cutting production costs in half.
And all of this is going down at Giga Texas, currently the only factory running the Unboxed Process assembly line.
It all sounds very promising, but would this get Tesla to its stated goal?
The reality of Tesla’s situation
Elon Musk claimed the Unboxed process was currently resulting in one Cybercab every 10 seconds across all factories, and said a few years of ramping would bump this up to one every five seconds.
Multiple strategies would need to be rolled out to get to this lofty target – introducing a robot workforce to run the lines around the clock, and opening up another factory, for example.
And then there’s the biggest catch of all – battery cell production.
Unless the automaker scales its battery manufacturing to provide enough power packs, all else won’t matter.
Evidently, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done.
