Scaling car production no matter what: Tesla’s mission during 2022

Tesla’s plans throughout 2022 will be an obsessive focus on increasing vehicle production and thus increasing sales figures and trying to scale the company. A measure that is becoming more urgent due to the incessant increase in demand for electric cars. In this sense, they have opened two new factories in recent weeks: the Giga Berlin which will supply the European market, and the Giga Austin in Texas, United States.

Both facilities will make only the Tesla Model Y, the brand’s popular electric SUV. First, they will only make a performance version and after increasing the weekly production of cars, they will begin to assemble the long-range version. The Giga Austin incorporates the 4680 structural batteries. The Giga Berlin will continue to make the vehicle with the 2170 cells.

Among the measures that the company has had to take to focus solely on increasing the production of the four vehicles that it already produces, is delaying the launch of the Cybertruck, the Roadster 2.0, and the Semi until 2023. Also during the last conference with investors, Elon Musk accepted that they are not working on the 25,000 vehicles they announced during Battery Day in 2020.
