It seems Tesla is slowly but surely ramping up production at its new factory in Austin, Texas, though we haven't heard a whole lot about the numbers. Last evening, Wednesday, July 20, 2022, during Tesla's Q2 2022 earning conference call, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk noted that the automaker expected to pass the 1,000-car-per-week milestone in"a couple of months."is currently ramping up its new factories in Texas and Berlin at the same time.
We often share drone flyover videos of Tesla's factories. Joe Tegtmeyer is one of the primary sources, and he focuses on keeping track of what's happening at Giga Texas. According to, Tegtmeyer recently reported that Tesla is moving over 150 cars per day at the Austin factory, which would put it at around 1,000crossovers per week already, depending on the number of days, shifts, and the overall consistency of the daily rate.
“Model Y production ramping is noticeably hitting a new gear, with transports moving more than 150 cars per day now, and new cars filling right in behind them! North and west irrigation system installation beginning now as we discussed in the past few videos, so it’s great to see this work begin.” Despite Tegtmeyer's observations and math, Musk revealed during the meeting that Tesla isn't quite there yet. The CEO said:Regardless of any of the estimates or official numbers, Tesla reiterated that it's still on track to reach 50 percent growth year over year in 2022. The second quarter of 2022 was a bit of a setback, but Tesla is still aiming to produce about 1.5 million cars this year.
