Reveals Tesla Model s vehicle production process-Tesla, Model S-IT information Reveals Tesla Model s vehicle production process

Correspondents came to Tesla production plant in Fremont, California. Tesla plant is bought back from GM and Toyota, the current Model s-line is simply taking advantage of the large factories of 20% of the area. Factories as well as Tesla's next a direct store delivery centre, not far away there is a Tesla repair service center.

With most cars, Model s production process consists of four main parts, 1. stamping production of individual components, 2. connect the components into the body, 3. body painting, 4. installing additional components to the body (with motor and battery components).

Tesla's body the metal parts of 97% aluminum alloy is used, because light-weight electric motor can make it more efficient. After ramming machine cutting of thin aluminium sheet metal stamping required for Model s thickness of various shapes of parts. The huge press machine has four groups, multiple layers of thin aluminum alloy plate by robot arm in four groups of machines stamping in turn passes, will be able to generate a variety of different shapes of metal parts.

Connect done stamping components will then be handed over to robots, Tesla factory staff said at least 150 robots. Connection's first step was connecting piece welded section steel chassis and up. Then the entire body of welding, bodywork in 14 major components, connect according to the region.

Body weld finish will send another workshop for painting, paint over after entering the last stages of vehicle Assembly, vehicle Assembly, the first step is to install the Tesla Model s signature panoramic sunroof, if consumers buy, its price is 21900 Yuan. Installation method is a robot based on the roofline photo shoot glass skylights and precise in location.

Then to put the vehicle's Interior, seat, drive components, wheels and batteries mounted within the frame of the chassis. Tesla's Powertrain – motor and rear wheel brakes, body mounted rear from the bottom, there is no conventional internal combustion locomotive engines, traditional shaft. Due to the motor and the battery is at the core of Tesla's technology, this part of the workshop and is not open to us to visit. Just seen the finished product.

After assembling complete, Model s entered the factory testing stage, then taken out of the factory, waiting for the United States local customer pick-up, need to export transportation by cargo ship around the world.
