I work in manufacturing, and there is really no demo mode unless you program it to do so. So they accually took their time to do this for you all.

Quote of the Day: "There are Cybertrucks everywhere!" - Chris from Dirty Tesla

[@jamesengland7461]

We're seeing an aspect of that new assembly process they recently talked about, where the body panels are going to be painted individually, then brought to final assembly, though of course with Cybertruck no paint is needed on the exterior. The chassis rolls down the line, with full access to install wiring, seats, motors, and everything else, and then the ss exterior panels are simply brought to the line and easily and quickly installed! I don't know if they're bolted or bonded or welded on, or some combo of all 3, but the thickness of the door exteriors is such that they don't even need door beams for crash protection, and that rear panel on each side significantly adds to structural rigidity and stiffness, being mounted to the gigacasting all the way to the top. I imagine the front fenders and the frunk skin are actually much thinner for absorbing frontal impacts, especially as we see what looks like a traditional hood inner structure on the frunk lid. Also, like with other Teslas, even the roof glass and windshield add to structural rigidity. They're part of the exoskeleton along with the tonneau cover, door skins, and the outside and inside of the bed.

[@god-son-love]

The insurance could be very high since you can't replace bumpers. I would love to see a collision test to see how strong they are.

[@Sammy10100]

Jerry rig everything did a video on the production of the cybertruck

[@chrisbraid2907]

There are a few crash test video’s out there …

[@chrisbraid2907]

@@god-son-lovewho said you can’t replace the bumpers? You would have to assess the crash and with FSD it could be. Minor enough to replace parts like the bumpers, just like pedestrians won’t suffer the same impact as other cars hitting them …

[@otto9855]

Not demo mode - they're in full production. 6:04 - Not demo. the robot picks it up from the frame after it has determined the target position. It's then swung over to the adhesive dispenser and the robot runs a bead around the perimeter, then puts it back where it determined the target was. 16:47 - not the door , this is the left rear quarter panel.

[@zachmoyer1849]

i like the rugged simplicity of it and i always was waiting for the Bollinger but haven't heard anything in awhile. So does a sheet a plywood lay flat in the bed? wish they would have added pass through for longer material and accessible side storage like the rivian for tools or gear. Will be interesting to see what the aftermarket solutions for these and other problems might be.

[@IIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIII]

Bollinger bankrupt

[@leemcmullan]

the steering (or lack of) is my favorite thing

[@MrDuncanBooth]

Good on you Chris

[@Nphen]

Thank you for this factory tour! Amazing! Looks to be at least 100 stations, meaning up to 100 partial builds on the line at any given moment. Looks like they took the trucks they were working on and just staged them there. There are more than enough batteries to build 60 trucks a day 6 days a week. Why aren't they there yet? Best case is simple issues like hiring, training, and coordinating & tweaking the production line. Maybe a supplier or two is a bit slow in ramping up. Worst case? They're having to hand-mill & hand-fit certain parts on the line to get a perfect finish, or trucks are spending too much time at the end of the line in QC (hence the light tunnel).

[@Withnail1969]

because this is all fake. there is no production line.

[@henryD9363]

Excellent video. One of the best for finding out what's going on in the production line. Very good video. Thanks But at 5:36 we see that the window is made of borosilicate glass! Holy f'ing crap! I'm going to guess that this is the largest piece of borosilicate glass that's ever, EVER been used in any commercial product. Damnation! Evidently you don't know about it. You should look up the properties of borosilicate glass. This is absolutely amazing!

[@chrisbraid2907]

Actually security glass on buildings would be bigger but only purely flat …

[@HansMilling]

I dont recall any other car manufacturer having these events or showing off their factories to the public. I think there are so many, because they are ready for producing cars. The factory in Berlin was not ready and it took almost a year from the opening festival until it started producing cars.

[@thebigdoghimself]

At the beginning of the video you are looking at the castings. Do they paing them black before placing them in the truck as seen there?

From my understanding subframe is painted to avoid corrosion

[@mstrnobody]

[@jaynobles.215]

[@landcruiser801]

Great video Chris, roughly how many CTs would you guess were going down the line. I ask cost they (sone expert analyst) are saying that they will only produce like 90 in 2023. How many did they deliver at the event 20? Surely if that line is working it will crank out more than 70.

[@edwardhackett-jones8126]

10 on delivery day. I think we shouldn’t expect them to deliver more than 100 in December, but will ramp rapidly in Q1/Q2, more rapidly than Elon implied but perhaps not as rapidly as we might wish.

[@chrisbraid2907]

[@BrianJoslyn]

The motor looks smaller than it would actually be. I'd have to see it in its place. I read a lil while back that there would be exterior colors to choose from. Was this ever true (Chris) or did this get scrapped? What I'm, particularly, not happy about is the range is too less than what was, 'promised,' when Cybertruck was first announced.

[@DirtyTesla]

The only choices for now are a black or white wrap

[@BrianJoslyn]

Well, nutz... Unless you go to another place that does wraps! I'd possibly take advantage of a 'get paid to drive' opportunity.

[@briansilver9652]

Hey Chris. Do you mind accurately measuring the thickness of that SS pass? Curious if it is the same guage as the truck panels. It was suppossed to be 3 mm. Now they reduced that to 1.8 mm? Thanks!

[@DirtyTesla]

It's pretty thin but I'll measure it when I can

[@BigBoneESB]

Since the 9000 ton front & back Gigacastings & the structural battery pack give so much rigidity, going think SS wasn't necessary. It still adds to the structural integrity but it's perhaps best at laughing at the elements, it doesn't scratch, doesn't dent, doesn't bend, doesn't rust. I was a bit skeptical but the reviews as well as these tours tell me it's still the toughest truck around. A Beast!

[@zachmoyer1849]

they showed the front crash test in a video and it def crumples and is very rigid when it gets to the cab/battery but it does look like a solid hit compared to other vehicles but looks are deceiving and i dont know if they released any results from that test.

[@aaronb7990]

Tesla has next level restraint and airbag deployment systems. In the end hitting something not resulting in cabin intrusion is always best.

[@amimartian]

No exoskeleton I can see. What it is - is a reinforced battery pack acting as a frame and the body is bolted onto it - pretty much a classic truck scheme.

[@TeslaEVolution]

ESTIMATED TIME TO BE PRODUCED? It was/is designed for EASY PRODUCTION....so better than Model Y and 3 or - and estimated MARGINS?

[@darktemp_de]

0:16 Why did they get the date wrong? -- yes, I know the month is the first number, but the separators are wrong.

[@ericMT]

I don't understand why everyone is so surprised that there are so many Cybertrucks at the factory where they have to make tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of them as soon as possible. I know it's been 4 years since the announcement but they haven't been sitting on their hands this whole time. Production is in full swing (or it will be after the tourists are cleared out) and people will still be complaining that they aren't being made fast enough. I assume they are going to be running 3 shifts (24 hours a day) until current demand is met. A lot of people will cancel their preorder due to the price increase (it was expected though, everything has gone up in price), but a lot of other people that hated the CT will end up wanting one. If I know how humans work, expect to see some crazy resale values in the short term from people just looking to flip their reservation to make some quick cash.

[@litestuffllc7249]

No it isn't at all correct zach. What they showed attendees isn't a production line at all. If Making a trickle of trucks is the best they can do; cancel the project or wait until they actually have a production line. Name another vehicle new model vehicle where production was a dozen a day? Ferrari? Tesla can't make a production line because they are missing a giant part - the battery. The cybertruck is suppose to use the tabless 4680 cell, to be limited to 12 trucks means the failure rate is very high.

I think they show this, and not model Y line, since model Y is the bread and butter, and its more similar to other automakers vehicles then this, so others could learn and improve from elons decade + hard work optimizing manufacturing process.

While Model 3 did start with 100 in late August 2017, it was 1500 the next month and 20,000 a month by december - You think Cybertruck the facilities Elon showed will be doing that; not a chance. Elon Himself states they won't have a production line for 12-18 months; which means who knows in Elon talk. The Cybertruck took 4 years to get here the Y took 1 year from intro same as the Model 3. Ford F150 lighting first produced April 18 2022 - built 1400 the first week and second week and ,55000 built by the end of 2022. You're wrong

[@litestuffllc7249]

If Tesla was a baseball batter - they'd have a bunt for a lucky on base for original Roadster; a 2 run hit to center feild with the model 3, a walk with the X, a home run with the Y; but a strike out with Semi, a strike out with new roadster, a out on a bunt with FSD, a strike out with Robotaxi, and a hit into a triple play out cybertruck. The trend for Tesla isn't that lovely. As they downplay the recent major anticipated income failures revolving around the f'd up 4680, they distract with BS AI, robots so on that will produce no income for the near term. Honestly is calling a spade a spade and Tesla's hand was good but they threw out their best cards.

[@zachmoyer1849]

They are building lines from scratch. I think the slow rollout of electric vehicles from legacy automakers is just proof of how difficult it is to do. The Roadster and Semi aren't worthy of a line from scratch if the demand isn't there, and truck guys are pretty loyal to their brands and the luxury market is saturated. Even though FSD and Robotaxi aren't here yet, it's not really a failure. These are hard problems to solve, and regulations probably only expect perfection. Additionally, people aren't really open to the idea yet. However, it has created buzz around the company, so it wasn't all for naught.
