The next-generation electric car from US EV manufacturer Tesla will soon be available. With several cutting-edge features and capabilities guaranteed to excite EV enthusiasts worldwide, the business asserts that the car will alter the industry. This is all you need to know about the Tesla electric car of the future.
Tesla's most current generation of EV manufacturing facilities, optimised for space efficiency, will create the company's upcoming electric automobiles. These businesses will therefore need 40% less space to build cars at the same rate as they did at their old facilities.
When the cost of goods sold per car, forecast to drop by 50%, is considered, the cost reductions for Tesla's next-generation electric vehicles are much greater. This statistic calculates the costs of producing a single unit of a good, including direct costs like labour, raw materials, and overhead.
According to the company's engineers, the permanent magnet motor for Tesla's next electric vehicles will be produced using their own technology, without using any rare earth materials. Although rare earth minerals are not normally needed for AC induction motors, Tesla used the more effective permanent magnet motor in its second-generation cars, such as the Model 3 and Model Y.
Using internal controllers, Tesla engineers have decreased the processors needed in their electric vehicles. Using less expensive materials than conventional silicon chips for comparable tasks decreases total costs and cuts royalties for third-party technologies. Only the next-generation Tesla vehicles will use 100% in-house processors, while the future Cybertruck will use 85%.
Tesla has achieved substantial advancements in its battery technology by switching from lead-acid batteries in the Model S and X to more effective and long-lasting lithium packs for low-voltage electricals. Tesla anticipates a 16% gain in electrical efficiency using lithium batteries and 48V architecture in the next-generation vehicles with no added weight or maintenance costs. The production method for Tesla's upcoming models has also been improved.
The new method entails connecting the panels to the door independently, then bolting the complete assembly to the frame instead of first putting the roof, floor, dashboard, and boot onto the frame before adding other parts. If one component needs to be fixed, this frees up space in the production facility without impeding the assembly and roll-out of other parts.
