Tesla Giga Berlin Abandoning Hundreds of Robots for Casting Machines

Once Tesla Giga Belrin starts using the huge hundred-ton 8 Giga Presses it will abandon hundreds of robots, that are no-longer efficient, Reuters reports.

As reported by Edward Taylor and Paul Linert of Reuters, "Robots are not efficient enough for Tesla's new car factory in Germany, which plans to replace hundreds of them with giant aluminum casting machines to build simpler chassis parts, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters."

Reuters also reports that Tesla has struggled to raise production volumes through hi-tech automation and was forced to fly in a new production line from Germany to Nevada in 2018 after robots failed to coordinate seamlessly at the U.S. factory.

"For the new Model Y, Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has said he will replace 70 components glued and riveted into the car's rear underbody with a single module made using an aluminium casting machine. That's just the start of a new automation drive, with the vehicle's front module and other parts to come," the source said to Reuters.

"Will be amazing to see it in operation! Biggest casting machine ever made. Will make rear body in a single piece, including crash rails," Musk said on Twitter on Aug. 13. He did not say where or when the new machine would be rolled out.

The construction of Tesla Giga Berlin is progressing at a consistently rapid pace. Currently, there is great focus on the Casting building. This building is anticipated to house eight giant casting machines--the so-called Giga Press--for the manufacturing of Model Y.

At the moment, the installation of footings continues. The reinforcement frame is filled with cement, which is produced directly at the Giga Berlin site.
