Elon Musk promises revolution with new Model Y
Although not yet properly presented, the Model Y is already destined for greatness. At least, according to the opinion of Elon Musk. Tesla's manager and CEO announced that the vehicle will start a revolution in the automotive sector by debuting a new production technique in the US company's factories.Although not elaborate, this method seems to be late as Tesla has faced some hurdles in the manufacture of Model 3, whose units have not come out with the desired (and promised) frequency. With the crossover, expected to hit the market in 2020, Musk says he wants to avoid "the headaches" that Model 3 has given him.Regarding the Model Y, the businessman confirmed in the past that he was not planning to integrate a 12-volt battery into this car, unlike other versions of the brand. This detail can reduce the amount of components necessary for the operation of the battery and, consequently, sustain an increase in the automation of the manufacturing process. It should be remembered that the installation of robots is a gradual process, but growing in the infrastructures of Tesla, although the businessman believes that the assembly lines of the brand already have more robots. "Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake. To be precise, one of my mistakes. Humans are underestimated, "he said recently in a Twitter posting,Musk admits that most of Tesla's vehicle manufacturing process is already automated, but stresses that there is room for redesigning the technique from a strategic point of view.The CEO predicts that Model Y production will not start until 2020, contrary to what was claimed by recent rumors. One of the problems that the company may face in the development of this car is the lack of space, since the Fremont factory is full. Musk confirms that the car will have to be produced elsewhere, but for now, it does not confirm where.
