Tesla Giga Texas Achieves New Milestone, but Has a Big Obstacle

According to Whole Mars Catalog, Tesla Giga Texas has reached a production rate of 1,000 cars per week - a level achieved by the Giga Berlin-Brandenburg plant in June.

The news about Giga Texas' production record is based on a photo reportedly shared by a Tesla employee on Snapchat. It presents the shape of the Tesla Giga Texas plant, the company's logo, the number of 1,000 cars produced and the signatures of the employees involved in the ramp-up.

InsideEVs notes that the main obstacle to producing more electric Tesla cars in Texas appears to be the availability of the 4680-type cylindrical battery cells, which were used in the all-new "Tesla Model Y AWD" version.

"This seems to be the main reason why Tesla has started to produce in Texas also the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD, powered by 2170-type cylindrical battery cells (the same as in Fremont, California)," writes InsideEVs.
