Chapter 419: Gigafactory (1/4)
After the episode, under the personal reception of Elon Musk, he originally wanted to entertain a wave, well, although he is an American, this brother doesn't care about these at all, but Ye Hua asked to go to his factory to see, of course Musk will not refuse, and he went to Tesla Shangdu Gigafactory after leaving the airport.
The swarm of media could only end there, watching them drive away.
However, the latest news has begun to spread rapidly on the Internet, there is no way, the topic of the Coastline Group is there, although there are very few videos related to Ye Hua on the Internet, but it can't stand that he is now a "super Internet celebrity", and Elon Musk has become famous as an "old Internet celebrity".
It's hard not to get noticed by the outside world.
Tesla's Gigafactory in China is located in the Suitang River in Shangdu, which is not wide, but it stretches along the bow-shaped coastline between the two districts, stretching from Chuansha in the north to Fengxian in the south.
At the junction of the two districts, by the Suitang River, a modern gigafactory rose four years ago.
Tesla's Lingang factory was built four years ago, with an investment of up to 50 billion yuan. The super factory of RMB is also the first wholly-owned automobile factory built by foreigners in Huaxia, which can also be seen from this point that Huaxia is now embracing globalization day by day.
After driving for more than 40 minutes, Ye Hua came to the intersection of Lianggang West Avenue and Zhengjia Road, and finally saw this modern automobile factory.
Four years ago, it was still a muddy field, but now it has a strong atmosphere of modern factories, and the United States imperialism has been shouting to return to manufacturing, and as a result, a large number of emerging industries have been forced to leave North America, and it is estimated that Mr. President will be mad.
A convoy of trains pulls into the factory's entrance, and three security personnel dressed in Tesla-Security costumes open the way.
The Gigafactory in Shangdu, which will produce the Model-3 electric vehicle and future new models for the Chinese market, could soar to 500,000 pure electric vehicles a year when fully operational.
In fact, this factory has been very topical since the early stage of construction, and more importantly, this factory is the first wholly foreign-owned automobile factory after the opening of the foreign shareholding restriction on new energy vehicles, which is equivalent to a direct reflection of the current degree of opening up of the Chinese market.
After getting out of the car, Elon Musk personally led Ye Hua and his team to the inside of the factory to inspect, and almost all the so-called business secrets that were not revealed to others were open for a tour without reservation.
After all, it depends on who you're taking to visit.
The partnership with Shoreline could be a milestone turning point for Tesla, and Elon Musk, as a business veteran, is well aware of how important the partnership with Ye Hua is.
Coming to a production line of Model-3, Elon Musk danced with body language and talked eloquently: "There has always been a voice in public opinion: because of the doctrine of use, claiming that Tesla's success is not glamorous enough. The early world-famous Autopilot system was supplied by Mobileye of Israel, and the 18650 and 21700 batteries of Panasonic, the integrated circuits of STMicroelectronics, the letter response motor and the three-ring permanent magnet motor of Huaxia ......"
"It is precisely because a large number of Tesla's core components and central links are in the hands of suppliers that the critical party has complained about this, believing that Tesla lacks sufficient voice in front of suppliers and its position appears passive."
Speaking of this, Musk shrugged his shoulders and added: "But what I'm curious about is why so many brands in the world have tried their best to build new energy flagship models that threaten to benchmark against Tesla?" ”
Ye Hua smiled but nodded silently, the composition of Tesla's various parts is obviously the result of participating in global supporting and international division of labor, and Elon Musk's purpose in doing this is obviously to base Tesla's electric vehicles on the world market, rather than a certain regional market, not only in terms of cost savings, but also easier to enter the international market.
After all, if you make money in cross-border trade, your American family will earn it, and other regional markets will definitely not be happy, and that unhappiness will stumble you up, which is tantamount to hindering the advancement of globalization.
This is similar to the idea of the coastline.
"It's just that the tree is big and the wind is blowing, and the good times don't last long." Elon Musk said with a sigh: "In the context of the global promotion of electric vehicles, the super-fast follow-up speed of new brands of traditional car companies and the accumulation of more than 100 years of rich experience in the production chain and supply chain not only make those seemingly far-sighted start-up car companies feel frightened, but also those new car-making forces that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, as well as my Tesla company." ”
Indeed, the policy direction of the automobile industry in various countries around the world has been calibrated, and the traditional car giants have flocked to the new energy vehicle market, which has put an end to the situation of Tesla's dominance in the past.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current new energy vehicle market has been followed up by major traditional automobile giants and frantically spent money to play, this blue ocean market has quickly been dyed red, and has become a red ocean.
No way, the traditional century-old auto giants can't follow up, and now the ban on fuel vehicles in various countries has been put on the agenda, if you don't follow up and play seriously, even if the century-old car giants will be ignored in the future, and eventually lead to decline, these traditional giants are not frightened.
Ye Hua looked at him with a smile and said, "Mr. Musk, you think the tree is big, but I think the tree is not big enough." ”
"Agreed."
Elon Musk also agreed with this very calmly, and two minutes later he finally took Ye Hua and others to another production line and walked into the production workshop.
At this time, Elon Musk pointed to the production line and said excitedly: "Mr.Ye, I am very excited to create an electric model that most people can afford, and in the future, Tesla will launch more affordable and advanced models, take the Model 3 as an example, our goal is to make this model affordable for more than half of the people." ”
"But in the future fifth, smaller model, our goal is to make it affordable for everyone. For Model 5, we have abandoned the system provided by Mobileye, and adopted your PHC in-vehicle system, abandoned the battery system and adopted your wireless power transmission system, and also adopted the integrated circuit under the SIO system, etc. Even the Model is improving. Musk added.
Coastline Company and Tesla have long cooperated, which Ye Hua also knows, the two sides have reached a deep partnership at the Earlier Future Transportation Solutions Conference, that is, the automotive industry's unmanned autonomous driving calibration conference, and the major core suppliers of the Model5 model were established at that time, and now they are slightly improved.
After all, this model has not yet been put on sale, and the recent creation of the "Life Light" brand and the explosion of wireless power transmission technology, Elon Musk decisively let the production line of Model 5 be transformed.
To put it simply, the Model5 can basically be determined to be the world's first pure electric model that uses wireless power transmission and energy supply, as long as the wireless transmission system of the coastline company is guaranteed, the wireless transmission base station is down, and at the same time, the Model5 with unmanned autonomous driving energy supply can be immediately promoted to the market for supply.
"When will the Model 5 be available to the market, and what is the production capacity?" Ye Hua watched for a while, then turned around and asked Musk.
"There are two production lines for the Model 5, which will be transformed in three weeks, and the mass production can reach 4,500 units per week, and the annual output of 700,000 vehicles can be achieved after full operation, of course, the premise is that the coastline company should give priority to the production capacity to supply the supporting facilities of the Model 5." Elon Musk was in good spirits and said.
"Mr. Musk, whether it is a PHC on-board system or a wireless transmission system, our company will be able to meet your supply requirements, you only need to tell us the quantity and time limit of purchase, OK!" An executive accompanying Ye Hua immediately replied to him.
"That's great!"
Ye Hua looked back at the accompanying team members, and once again set his eyes on Elon Musk, and said, "Then sign the contract and supply me as soon as possible." ”
