How Tesla Builds Batteries So Fast.

This video can be enjoyed by a 15 year old dreaming about their first vehicle to the seasoned supply chain professional who has been in the automobile industry for 30 years. Tesla builds batteries and so much more. Elon Musk has let it be known one of the main obstacles Tesla faces is the quality and capacity of batteries. Below you will also find several videos on electric vehicle batteries and the supply chain issues that come with them.

Tesla has implemented a number of strategies and technologies to enable it to produce batteries quickly and efficiently. Some of the key factors that have contributed to Tesla’s ability to build batteries quickly include:

Automation: Tesla has implemented a high level of automation in its battery production process, including the use of robotics and other advanced technologies to handle tasks such as assembling battery cells.
Lean manufacturing principles: Tesla has adopted lean manufacturing principles in its battery production process, with a focus on continuous improvement and the elimination of waste. This has helped to streamline the production process and increase efficiency.
Investment in production capacity: Tesla has made significant investments in its battery production capacity, including building the Gigafactory, a large-scale manufacturing facility in Nevada that is focused on the production of batteries.
Vertical integration: Tesla controls many aspects of its battery production process, from the sourcing of raw materials to the final assembly of battery packs. This allows the company to have greater control over the production process and optimize it for efficiency.

Overall, Tesla’s ability to build batteries quickly and efficiently is the result of a combination of automation, lean manufacturing principles, investment in production capacity, and vertical integration.

Electric Vehicle and Battery Quotes

“Every day I get to ‘Think’ and work on everything from digitizing electric grids so they can accommodate renewable energy and enable mass adoption of electric cars, helping major cities reduce congestion and pollution, to developing new micro-finance programs that help tiny businesses get started in markets such as Brazil, India, Africa.” ~Ginni Rometty
“Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology.” ~Elon Musk
“Look at countries like China, they are determined to dominate all clean technology areas, putting lots of money into wind, solar, electric vehicles and battery storage. America’s political impotence, caused by their terrible partisanship, will see them left behind.” ~Malcolm Turnbull
“America needs to be able to be energy-independent, and the electric vehicle, the battery technology is one way of getting there.” ~Jennifer Granholm
“There are two other types of electric vehicle needed: heavy-duty trucks and high passenger-density urban transport.” ~Elon Musk
“Imagine a kind of system where you have lightweight electric vehicles relatively small battery capacity, and then picking up charge wherever they park. You never have to worry about filling up your car, never go to the gas station, never plug it in, never do any of these things.” ~William J. Mitchell
