Where Tesla Will Build The Next Gigafactory!

[@giogio6974]

factory in india to make the compact 25k car makes most sense- Announcement + building will take 2 years minimum. By that time (2025) the 25k car will be ready. Also India is not a bid premium auto market, but its a huge low cost vehicle market. Factory could serve all of south east asia, with similar needs, and maybe even japan.

[@leeoxford]

IMO there will never be a $25k car. Robotaxi will kill demand for a $25k car. What people really want is cheap, convenient transportation, not a cheap car.

[@giogio6974]

@@leeoxford I also thought about this. But why would elon announce it then?

[@HRHKamal]

Even at usd 25k there would be very limited local sales in India. Here max sales(ICE, of course) happen @usd11000 equivalent & below. India is not a viable local sales market for teslas.

[@shepherdsknoll]

In India, Tesla is a luxury car, the market for luxury cars in India is 30,000 cars. It would make no sense for Tesla to announce a new Gigafactory anytime soon. A $25k-$30k would increase the market somewhat, but not worth the effort to open a new plant where doing business can be very difficult. What India really needs is energy, a solar - battery factory would make more sense but it would still be a very difficult country to do business in. Not worth the investment.

Current Tesla models are expensive for India . Telsa will have to come up with India specific model if they want to sell cars in India . We might just prefer to build a EV for our requirements and budget.

[@vwasson6725]

Tesla will definitely need more factories even though Fremont is the only one near or at capacity. The legacy OEMs can't/won't see what's coming. But once Tesla fully transitions to the 4680 batteries and finishes streamlining their production lines, it'll be game over for almost all other OEMs. Only the OEMs who have approached the EVs from the software side will have a chance. I say this because after looking at what other OEMs have produced lately, only the ones doing it more from the software perspective are having any real impact. Building vehicles is the easy piece. Integrating the software to the same degree as Tesla is much more difficult. China and India are my top bets for the next factory location. Though I suspect that there will be multiple new locations being announced before the end of 2022. The new land in Berlin might be for an electrical storage facility with or w/o solar panels.

[@billweberx]

While I agree that software is the key to EV's, by no means is building vehicles the easy part. Musk will say that building them is the hardest part.

[@vwasson6725]

@@billweberx The legacy OEMs are however not giving the software aspect enough attention. Look at the differences between the OEMs who are on par or close to what Tesla has done with the software integration. Major differences between legacy OEMs and the other OEMs. Only the OEMs who build from the software up will eventually succeed. Elons saying is "prototypes are easy, productions are hard". Just slapping some batteries, electric motors, and a modified software package into the ICE designed vehicles does not put them on par with the EVs built with the software fully integrated into the vehicle. They're not call computers on wheels for nothing. Legacy OEMs are making cars that have computers....not cars that are computers on wheels. Yet anyway.
