Now is Musks giant battery factory in the time – Expressen

The diamond jätteanläggningen outside of Reno, Nevada has been questioned, as so many other Tesla’s ceo Elon Musk put the hands in, but now it’s started with its production.

First batteries delivered

The first batteries from Tesla’s so-called Gigafactory, was delivered in a week. Tesla has thus acquired the necessary capacity in order to begin to build the cheap Tesla model, Model 3.

But that the Gigafactory starts supplying batteries is not only important for Tesla. It also means that Tesla is breaking a long tradition litiumjonbattier previously been built in China, Japan or south Korea.

Tesla operates factory together with the japanese company Panasonic, and today employs around 2 900 people in the factory during the year and expects to recruit a further 4,000 people.

When the factory is booming the next years, it on their own have doubled the world’s production of lithiumjonbatterier.

And perhaps, say the time of the first delivery of the Gigafactory even more then it is the third time in the short time that Tesla passed one of Elon Musk promised deadline. Tesla’s goal was to deliver 80 000 cars in 2016, and despite the fact that you “just” passed 76 230 as seen the past six months of accomplishments as proof that Elon Musk and Tesla understood that they must keep what they promised in a to a greater extent than in the past.

the Factory to increase production

With the Gigafactory see Elon Musk also like to be able to come before the ambitious objective of including investors on Wall Street a few years ago, were considered completely unreasonable.

the Next very tough goal for Elon Musk is to build batteries and cars so that they are able to deliver 500 000 Tesla Model 3 in 2018. For Model 3, it also appears that Musk miscalculated on the price. With the Gigafactory in time had Musk figured that the price for the batteries would fall sharply which, in turn, was one reason that he could lower the price of the Model 3 in the united states cheap 35 000 dollars.

the Other manufacturers of electric cars, has informed the battery manufacturers like LG Chem and Samsung take the risk with the price of the batteries. No one else has that Musk also taken the risk for the production of the vital batteries. But expect Elon Musk right, he has a distinct advantage over competitors who do not have a clear grasp of batteritillverkningen.

the Gigafactory will also be used to build so-called Powerpacks, where Elon Musks mission is to provide homes and cities with energy storage, to reduce the use of fossildrivna generator. The production of batteries for the Model 3 will start in the second quarter of 2017, according to Tesla.

At the end of this month, the Tesla begin delivering its battery pack Powerwall 2 which, together with several new contracts to build solar photovoltaic transformed Tesla from just a manufacturer to a producer of clean energy.
