Recently, a German car owner posted on a social platform that Tesla Model Y in Germany works with large gaps in the car's doors, taillights and rimless glass. In addition, it has released several photos of the gap in the Model Y vehicle. Judging from the pictures released by the car owners, the gaps in the positions of the vehicle, taillights and rimless glass are indeed a little big.

In this regard, some netizens said: this is not a common fault, it is not impossible to use. Another netizen said: this is just like Lego, the accuracy of abrasive tools is not good, and it is the same in how it is assembled.

It is understood that the Berlin factory is located in Glenhead, Brandenburg, on the outskirts of Berlin. It is Tesla's first super factory in Europe and Tesla's fourth super factory, mainly producing Model Y and Model 3 models. The plant was originally scheduled to start production in July 2021, but due to related problems such as environmental approval, construction of the plant was suspended several times and did not officially open until March 22 this year, and the first batch of Tesla Model Y was delivered. According to several media reports, there are already some subscribers in Europe who have received their reservations for Model Y, all of which are produced in Berlin super factories.

It is worth noting that the first goal of the Berlin Super Factory is to produce a Model Y body every 45 seconds. In addition, on the bulletin board of Tesla's Berlin Super Factory, it reads: "our team is supported by a large group of robots that can perform tasks such as welding, riveting and gluing car parts." With high precision and fast movement, we can produce a Model Y body every 45 seconds. " Foreign media said that assuming Tesla's initial goal was to produce one car body every 45 seconds, the Berlin super factory could produce more than 500000 cars a year.

In addition, relevant industry insiders have calculated that if the Berlin super factory produces a Model Y body every 45 seconds, the Berlin super factory will produce 700000 cars at its peak capacity. Tesla Musk has also said: "the Berlin plant is expected to achieve a 45-second continuous production cycle." On average, 75% of the time per week can be maintained normal operation, if round-the-clock operation, that is about 10,000 cars a week. The speed of the production line is really amazing for the speed of producing a Model Y body every 45 seconds, and it is still difficult to ensure that the vehicle is exquisite in production.

According to relevant data, Tesla sold 936172 vehicles worldwide in 2021, ranking first in electric vehicle sales. With the growth of Tesla's global sales, Tesla's main problem now is the production capacity of the factory. with the commissioning and delivery of the Berlin factory, it may mean that the car can be picked up faster for Chinese users. Earlier, Tesla achieved production capacity at the Fremont plant in the United States and the Shanghai super factory. From the second half of 2021, the Fremont plant will no longer be delivered overseas. Tesla's demand in Europe, Asia and other places is entirely supplied and produced by the Shanghai factory, which is mainly used for exports in the first two months of each quarter and domestic sales in the last month. So the commissioning and delivery of the Berlin factory also means that Tesla has his own production base in Europe, and at the same time alleviates the problem of long waiting time for Chinese consumers.
