2023-04-28
Recently, the epidemic situation in Shanghai and the resumption of work and production of the city's enterprises have continued to affect people's hearts. On the last day of the "May 1st" mini-long holiday (May 4), an important "bullish" news of Shanghai's manufacturing industry once again boosted expectations for the development prospects of Shanghai's auto industry.
According to cross-verification by multiple sources, Tesla has made clear plans to build another new factory near the current Lingang Gigafactory in Shanghai to expand production capacity. The new plant is expected to produce Model 3 and Model Y models with an annual capacity of 450,000 vehicles. After the completion of the expansion of the new factory, it will help Tesla to increase the total production capacity of the Shanghai factory to 1 million vehicles per year.
A few months ago, a reporter from China Securities Journal CSI Taurus also learned during a field visit to the Tesla Gigafactory that a large area of land about 200 meters near the current Tesla factory has been included in the planning of possible new factories in the future. .
Second factory surfaced
According to media reports, Tesla wrote in a letter of thanks to the Lingang New Area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone on May 1, expressing its appreciation for the local government’s efforts to help Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory resume work. The local government mobilized resources, sent qualified employees back to the factory for closed-loop production, and helped the factory with disinfection. It is particularly worth noting that the letter of thanks also clearly stated that Tesla plans to build a new factory near the current Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory for the production of Model 3 and Model Y, which is expected to increase the number of vehicles by 450,000. The annual production capacity has become Tesla's "largest auto export center" in the world.
Statistics show that in 2021, the Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory will deliver a total of 484,130 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 235%, of which more than 160,000 vehicles will be delivered to overseas markets, meeting the needs of more than ten countries in Europe and Asia. Among Tesla's 936,000 global deliveries in 2021, the Shanghai Gigafactory will account for 51.7%. In addition, according to China's car sales data from the National Passenger Car Market Information Federation, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory delivered a monthly delivery of 70,847 vehicles in December 2021.
Previously, the reporter learned from the construction companies involved in the construction of the factory area when he visited the Tesla Gigafactory on the spot in January 2021. At that time, Tesla had included a large area of land about 200 meters near the factory area. planning for future new production capacity.
In response to the news that Tesla plans to set up a second factory in Shanghai, the head of a large auto parts company in Shanghai told reporters on May 4 that there had been relevant news in the industry before. This time, Tesla made it clear in the communication with Shanghai officials that it may mean that it is not far from the new factory. However, as of press time, Tesla China has not made a clear response to the China Securities Journal reporter on the news of "Tesla's second factory in Shanghai".
The resumption of work and production has been carried out smoothly
Since March, the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai has had a significant impact on the production and operation of many enterprises in the city. Among them, Tesla, the leading car company in Shanghai, has also received close attention from all parties for its progress in resuming work and production. A few days ago, with the assistance of Shanghai, Pudong New Area, Lingang and other parties, Tesla has officially resumed production and production, and the ramp-up of production capacity is also progressing steadily.
Earlier, Tesla told reporters that under the deployment and coordination of governments at all levels in Shanghai, on April 17 and 18, Tesla's 8,000 employees returned to the factory one after another, and the battery and motor workshops were opened on the morning of April 19. Production has resumed, and multiple assembly lines are running efficiently. Among them, the Tesla Phase II vehicle workshop is currently the most efficient automated vehicle production line. Song Gang, senior director of manufacturing at the Tesla Gigafactory, said that the production capacity will gradually ramp up within three or four days after the resumption of production, so as to reach the overall single-shift full production.
Song Gang said that at the same time as Tesla's resumption of work, many Tesla parts suppliers in Shanghai also began to resume work, becoming the largest part of Tesla's supplier partners. At the same time, Tesla suppliers located in Zhejiang Province are also actively working together under the guidance of the government to ensure production, open up logistics, and support Tesla vehicle manufacturing. Many suppliers in Jiangsu Province are still in a state of shutdown, and transportation is difficult. At present, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Jiangsu Province, and relevant departments of Suzhou City are also actively coordinating the recovery of the supply chain.
