American Fortune Life

Tesla headquarters in Palo Alto.

In Tesla's fully automated production workshop, which is known as the world's most intelligent, from raw material processing to finished product assembly, the entire production process is self-sufficient except for a small number of parts. . .

Ahem, of course, this is a model workshop specially prepared by Andy.

A custom-fit slim suit, spotless white shirt and blue striped tie made Andy Smith look more capable and chic, facing the President of the Flying Shoes, the Minister of Energy, and a group of reporters who kept recording what , Andy talked vigorously.

"Stamping production line, body center, paint center and assembly center, there are more than 150 robots involved in the four major manufacturing links. Of course, you rarely see people in the workshop...

Each robot can perform various actions. . .

It takes 6 seconds to complete the stamping of an engine cover. . .

Here is the fine machining of the engine. . .

A robot can independently carry the frame, the whole process is operated in an assembly line, and the robot is seamlessly connected with the robot. The whole process is completed by the computer-controlled robot according to the pre-set program! "

Wow——

The accompanying crowd was immediately shocked by the super-automatic production factory in front of them. Looking at the scene of few people in the clean and spacious workshop, everyone felt a feeling of 'losing their jobs'.

Even Little Flying Shoes looked a little dignified. To be honest, everything in front of him was beyond his imagination. You must know that the previous Tesla was not like this, it was more like a workshop.

In order to alleviate the shortage of funds, the Tesla factory had previously applied to the US government for the Advanced Technology Vehicle Production Loan Program (ATVM) aimed at supporting new engine technologies and encouraging the development of new energy technologies. This plan was launched by him in 2007.

Someone came to inspect it at that time, and there was no future after that. Therefore, Tesla’s capital chain was broken and it was bought by Andy Smith at a low price. Not long after that, the workshop became a super factory with a sense of future technology.

Andy had a calm and calm smile on his face from beginning to end. He was very satisfied with everyone's shocking reaction, and felt a burst of pride in his heart. Of course, several Tesla executives present also pretended that we were awesome. With an aggressive appearance, he raised his chin slightly, but actually he was in a panic in his heart.

Because they know that this workshop is used by the boss to fool people. Although the fully automatic assembly room is really awesome, the cost of Nima is too high, and it is absolutely impossible to popularize it. Moreover, the current Tesla electric The profit level of the car is really not that good. Although the electric supercar project can be mass-produced and the cost is reduced, the profit margin is also larger, but it encountered the financial turmoil, and the sales volume decreased accordingly.

However, the research and development work of ModelS and ModelX has already begun. Research and development is definitely the most expensive job. The funds from selling electric supercars before are invested in this. money.

Tesla's executives all know that the arrival of the flying shoes this time will be a great opportunity, otherwise, the big boss will not take out this most shocking super automation and run it to fool people.

"Mr. Smith, as far as I know, the level of profitability of Tesla Inc. . . . "

Although a reporter was shocked by the scene of the workshop, he still maintained a skeptical attitude. After all, everyone knows Tesla’s profitability. The workshop alone does not represent much, and it may be very difficult to popularize larger factories.

Andy glanced at each other, noticed that the eyes of Xiao Feixie and the Minister of Energy were watching him, and said calmly: "When something is important enough, even if the profit does not meet your expectations, you still need to persevere Go do it!"

"Everything you see is the result of the efforts of our Tesla people. We are dreamers and pioneers. What we have to do is to promote innovation in the global electric vehicle industry.

Everyone is very familiar with the Greater Los Angeles area, but have you noticed that the blue sky here is obviously different from other parts of the United States. There are very few blue-purple skies, and more of a light blue sky.

In the air quality rankings over the years, the Greater Los Angeles area including Los Angeles and Orange County has always been the area with the worst ozone in the United States, and Fresno in the Central Valley has become the city with the most PM2.5 pollution in the United States, with the PM2.5 index frequently exceeding 100.

Dense population, many cars, and dense industries. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Los Angeles suffers from the accumulation of industrial pollution and poor air flow. Although it has been decades since the photochemical smog incident, we must not forget the damage caused by this disaster. Exhaust emissions have become a global issue today. It is a major event that all countries in the world attach great importance to.

And we, what we Tesla is doing is to completely eliminate exhaust gas, let human beings use cleaner energy vehicles, and give the world a blue sky without pollution! "

Papa——

Andy's sudden speech drew the warmest applause from all the people present, and they all felt a sense of respect for Andy Smith and the Tesla executives present, lamenting that they are a group of An entrepreneur with a sense of responsibility and a sense of mission.

Xiao Feixie applauded with a smile on his face, and the Minister of Energy on the side applauded vigorously. He had a great impression of the young super rich man in front of him.

"Andy, seeing all of this, to be honest, I was really surprised. You are indeed a genius with a singular ability to turn a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy into such a dazzling technology pioneer. I have come to the right place this time. , opened my eyes!"

Little Flying Shoes patted Andy on the back kindly, and walked with Andy with a happy smile on his face.

Hearing that Xiao Feixie had restored his Texas-accented English, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. President, to be honest, dreaming about this kind of thing is too expensive. My personal ability is limited after all. Now that Tesla's R\u0026D funding is in trouble again, I have to ask the federal government for support."

"Hehe, you little guy, you are not honest at all, your ability is limited? This joke is not funny at all, haha..." Xiao Feixie teased jokingly, but after laughing, he continued to say with a slightly serious expression : "How about a $400 million low-interest loan?"

"500 million, we can complete the mass production of the Model S and Model X series you have seen before. The support of the federal government is really important to us." Andy bargained.

Xiao Feixie shook his head and laughed. He looked at Energy Minister Samuel and asked, "You are the Minister of Energy. You have the most right to speak. What do you think?"

"Everything I saw today is shocking. Tesla can be called a model of innovation. It is the frontier of new energy vehicles in the world. It is absolutely ahead of any professional car factory in the world. We should strongly support the research and development of new energy vehicles. Moreover, we should vigorously support the development of new energy vehicles in terms of policies, such as car purchase subsidies, and encourage consumers to buy electric vehicles..."

As the Minister of Energy, Mussel will also resign with Xiao Feixie's resignation. He also has his own political needs. He is very optimistic about the future trend of new energy vehicles, and he can support a single-horse in office. Beast company, leaving a valuable political asset is also very important.

"Hehe, that's it. Andy, Tesla will be the last loan issued by my ATVM plan. I hope you won't let us down." Xiao Feixie smiled brightly, and walked side by side with Andy to the exhibition hall , where he also needs to deliver a speech as president.

"Innovative products and enterprises change the world, subvert the industry, and create legends. Their success is inseparable from entrepreneurs and engineers who are forward-looking, adventurous, and boldly innovative. But what cannot be ignored is the soil that encourages and nurtures innovation behind them." and mechanism . . . ”

Andy, who had already returned to the Shanhai Manor, put his arms around the shoulders of the emperor who was feeding the little Laura, and watched the president of the flying shoes on TV, surrounded by Tesla employees, delivering his speech with a smile on his face, confiding His determination to vigorously support and promote new energy has given him a strong sense of existence.
