Цахилгаан автомашины салбарт хувьсгал хийсэн Model S болон Model X загваруудыг угсарч байсан түүхэн шугамыг Tesla 46 хоногийн дотор бүрэн татан буулгалаа.
Tesla компани Калифорни мужийн Фремонт дахь үйлдвэрийнхээ Model S (2012) болон Model X (2015) загваруудыг үйлдвэрлэдэг байсан угсралтын шугамыг 14 жилийн үйл ажиллагааны дараа ийнхүү зогсоов. Эдгээр загвар нь цахилгаан автомашиныг олон нийтэд хүлээн зөвшөөрөгдөхөд чухал үүрэг гүйцэтгэсэн ч сүүлийн үед Model 3 болон Model Y загваруудын эрэлт өсөж, зах зээлийн өрсөлдөөн нэмэгдсэнтэй холбоотойгоор борлуулалт нь буурсан юм. Иймд тус компани өмнө нь мэдэгдсэний дагуу эдгээр загварын үйлдвэрлэлийг зогсоох шийдвэр гаргажээ.
Үйлдвэрийн чөлөөлөгдсөн талбайг цаашид “Optimus” хэмээх хүн дүрст роботын төсөлд ашиглахаар болсон байна. Илон Маск Tesla-г зөвхөн автомашин үйлдвэрлэгч бус, технологийн компани гэдгийг онцолж, Optimus роботыг үйлдвэрлэл болон өдөр тутмын амьдралыг өөрчлөх гол бүтээгдэхүүн хэмээн тодорхойлж байна.
Одоогоор Tesla компани Semi, Cybertruck, Model 3 болон Model Y загваруудыг үйлдвэрлэж байгаа бөгөөд ирээдүйд Cybercab, Roadster, Robovan зэрэг шинэ загваруудыг танилцуулахаар төлөвлөж байна. Эдгээр бүх загвар нь компанийн дэвшилтэт хиймэл оюун ухаан болон Full Self-Driving технологид суурилсан хэвээр байна.

After 14 years of service, it only took Tesla 46 days to dismantle the assembly line at the factory in Fremont, California where Model X and Model S were built.
It feels like a history-making moment, even though both cars were relatively new.
After all, we’re talking about two cars that were only introduced less than 15 years ago.
But the main reason why this is important is what is coming next.
The reason why Tesla dismantled the assembly line
The automaker hasn’t actually dismantled the entire factory in Fremont, California.
Instead, it has simply fully decommissioned the historic assembly line that produced the Model S and Model X.
The transformation, completed in just 46 days, marks the end of an era for these two vehicles.
The Model X (2015) and more importantly the Model S (2012) changed the car world because they forced everyone to take EVs seriously.
And ironically both cars were also victims of Tesla’s success.
First, the fact that nearly all automakers began making EVs created competition that ultimately damaged Tesla.
Second, after the Model S and Model X, the American automaker launched the Model 3 and Model Y.
These two remain best-sellers in the US, and that’s precisely the reason why demand for the higher-priced S and X dwindled.
That’s why, not long ago, Tesla announced it would discontinue both cars.
What the factory will be used for instead
The freed-up factory space is now being repurposed for the Optimus humanoid robot project.
To his credit, Elon Musk has been quite openly banging on this particular drum for years.
He’s been quoted repeating the same mantra over and over again: Tesla isn’t a car company.
In his view, Optimus could become one of the most important products ever made, with the potential to transform manufacturing, labor, and also daily life.
For now, Tesla is still also an automaker with at least four vehicles available now – Semi, Cybertruck, Model 3 and Y.
There are also three vehicles in the pipeline – Cybercab, Roadster, Robovan – although solid information about those is scarce.
The irony is that even all of those vehicles heavily rely on AI because of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving.
