Chapter 1078 The American factory is put into operation
Zhang Fan did not rest after getting off the plane, but went directly to Tesla's U.S. factory accompanied by everyone.
A tall wall surrounded the entire factory, and the beautiful Tesla logo at the gate made Zhang Fan's face full of pride.
Once upon a time, American automobile giants were the giants that Chinese automobile companies looked up to. But now the status is reversed, and Chinese automobile brands have also successfully entered the United States, making Americans look up to them.
Entering the factory, the factory is very clean. Many employees are wearing work clothes and waiting there. Waiting for Zhang Fan, the big boss, to officially cut the ribbon and announce that the factory is officially put into production.
Thirty thousand employees are carefully selected. In Detroit, the most indispensable thing is automobile workers. As the automobile city of the United States, Detroit was once glorious.
But now life is very depressed, and it is called a city of chaos. However, since the construction of the Tesla factory, life here has become much better.
You must know that Detroit currently has a population of less than 600,000. Among the 600,000 people, 30,000 jobs are so important.
Besides, the wages paid by Tesla are also very good. For these people, this job is better than any government relief.
With jobs, they have income. With income, all problems are solved. The Detroit government is also looking forward to it, hoping that Tesla's arrival will revive the city.
Uniform uniforms, clean and tidy production lines, and high standards are all implemented here.
The production line is also the same as the production line at the headquarters. It’s exactly the same platform, the cars are the same, and the quality is naturally the same.
There are a large number of workers, among whom blacks account for more than 80%. Now Detroit has almost become a black city, and there are very few whites to be seen here.
"Thank you all, I'm glad to see you all here today. Today, our Tesla Detroit factory will officially go into production. I believe that with all of our efforts together, everything will get better and better."
Zhang Fan delivered a short speech and then cut the ribbon directly. Then the entire factory was officially put into use, and the first car successfully rolled off the assembly line in a few minutes.
Tesla is an out-and-out luxury brand in the United States. Previously, Tesla had been competing with Porsche and Maserati.
Tesla has always promoted it this way when it comes to publicity. After several years of publicity, everyone has a certain understanding of the Tesla brand.
I know that this brand is a luxury brand from China. It is also relatively expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
At the same time, Tesla's publicity in the United States is based on celebrity effects. Tesla provides free vehicles to Hollywood superstars, some wealthy people, etc.
It’s the same strategy as Tesla in one time and space. In another time and space, Tesla is the top luxury brand in China, and one car can sell for millions.
Now it's the opposite here. Even if it's made in China, Tesla's price in the United States is a little more expensive than in China.
But even so, Tesla's orders in the United States are still good now. Especially those rich people, those people don't care about spending some money to play.
The performance and comfort of electric vehicles are unmatched by fuel vehicles. They are particularly suitable for home use. Once you get used to driving electric vehicles, you will never want to touch fuel vehicles.
In the past six months, Tesla's US branch has also been continuously deploying charging piles in the United States. Although the number is far less than that in China, it can still be convenient for everyone to use.
Besides, the United States is vast and sparsely populated, so a garage is indispensable. Each family has more than one car, so you can install an ordinary charging pile at home.
For ordinary people, ordinary charging piles are enough. After all, Tesla’s cruising range is relatively high now. Except for the Tesla Elf, other models, even the cheapest cars, have a cruising range of more than 500 kilometers.
.
Tesla's order volume in the United States now exceeds 100,000 units. And among these orders, most of them are for the R version.
The one with the highest order volume turned out to be the Tesla ksr, which surprised Tesla. The ks is Tesla's full-size hard-core off-road vehicle.
Just launched in China last month, ksr is the high-performance model of this car. The data of ks is already very impressive, but the r version is even more impressive.
Now Tesla's R department has become independent. If the previous R department was considered radical, the current researchers are simply crazy.
These people aim for limits, and breaking them is something they often do.
And ksr is their latest masterpiece, and it is also their current pinnacle.
The body of ksr is not made of steel structure, aluminum alloy, or carbon fiber. It is made of expensive new titanium alloy material.
This titanium alloy material is very expensive and is generally used in the aviation industry. For example, in the production of aero engines, missiles, rockets, etc.
This thing is very expensive, but these losers used this material to make the body of this car.
Titanium alloy is not only a heavy weight, but also has very good performance. After precise calculations, the entire car body is mainly made of titanium alloy, supplemented by other materials, to achieve the ultimate safety of the car body.
The battery of the entire vehicle uses an all-solid-state battery, and the entire battery site is located on a non-load-bearing girder.
The motor adopts the latest type of motor, which has high power and low energy consumption. It adopts electric four-wheel drive technology and is equipped with an intelligent lock system.
This system is more powerful than the differential lock of traditional off-road vehicles. It can adjust the specific operation of the four wheels according to specific conditions.
Through the control system, this car can perform perfectly in all terrains. This car went through the most brutal experiments before it was put on the market.
Moreover, experiments were conducted all over the world, including the complex Sahara Desert, harsh Siberia, man-eating swamps, plateaus with harsh climates, etc.
It has been proven that this vehicle's off-road capability is comparable to that of a tank.
At the same time, this car also has incredible performance, with a cruising range of up to 1,500 kilometers and an acceleration of 100 kilometers in just 2.3 seconds.
At the same time, the protection level is very high. The glass is made of bulletproof glass, the body is made of high-strength titanium alloy, and the internal skin is made of bulletproof vest materials.
This car has undergone bulletproof testing. Not to mention pistols, even rifles cannot cause damage to this car.
It can withstand attacks from ordinary grenades and rocket launchers, and even large anti-material sniper rifles must be within range to cause damage to this vehicle.
To put it simply, this thing is a military armored vehicle with the appearance of an off-road vehicle. For the United States where guns can be legally held, this vehicle is deeply loved by the rich, even though the price of this vehicle in the United States is as high as 1.5 million US dollars.
