Musk: Nearly 75% of Tesla's component production is fully automated.

 

Today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on social media, stating that nearly 75% of the production process for Tesla vehicles is fully automated. Only the wiring harnesses and final assembly—areas where manual labor still plays a significant role—account for less than 10% of the overall production cost. Meanwhile, the Model 3, which Tesla has begun delivering, is currently the company’s most affordable, highest-volume, and best-selling electric vehicle.

 

 

IT Home has learned that, according to foreign media reports, Tesla delivered a total of 447,980 Model 3 vehicles to consumers from the third quarter of 2017 through the fourth quarter of 2019. However, after beginning deliveries of the Model Y earlier this year, Tesla combined the sales figures for the Model 3 and Model Y in its announcements. In the first three quarters of this year, Tesla delivered a combined total of 280,350 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to consumers.
