I have a model Y. When I went to the dealership (3 days after ordering it using the Tesla app) the car was already waiting for us. In less than five minutes the salesman gave us the key card. I have a background in automotive body repair, sales and mechanics. I walked around the car and checked it, and to end, top to bottom and check the alignment and fitment of all the body panels,, etc. I found absolutely no flaws whatsoever. I saw that the factory that built it was in Texas. We purchased the dual motor, long range; with the more expensive pearl white paint, and the seven row seats. We’ve had them vehicle now for a few weeks, and my opinion of it is that it is absolutely amazing in every way!

In a month I'll be working at Giga TX. This video was the best pre-training aide I've ever seen. Thanks.

"Body in white" just refers to the car primarily before there are any cosmetics such as carpet, seats etc in the car. The term comes from when the car is coated in primer, which is white. So it can really refer to any part of the process from the whole frame assembly up to when it is being installed with all the interior pieces.

You asked the question regarding ordering a Tesla and not being on a waitlist. On October 2, 2022 I bit the bullet and had ordered a Model Y performance from Tesla’s site, and was on the road with the car in less than a week. Delivery was October 8, 2022. Six days from drunken impulse order to new car.

Great video, side note, Nevada had the first Giga factory, then Shanghai, Berlin, Austin... Keep up the good work, and informative videos. Thanks.

For anyone curious, theres nothing special about the assembly process this mirrors the assembly line for most Body on Frame vehicles pretty closely actually. -Manufacturing Engineer for a body on frame vehicle in the US

I think this is probably your best presentation, no unnecessary Oddball comments and no outdated information keep doing them this way

The structural battery pack bit is messed up... You're showing seats bring bolted to the floor from inside the car while on the next shot your correctly show the battery pack with seats already bolted on being inserted from under the chassis (which is correct). The structural battery pack, with seats attached, is inserted from bellow to a chassis with an open floor.

Great job. I work in the industry and we achieve 58 seconds / vehicle. 30 seconds is an awesome achievement.

2:04 "in white' is a term borrowed from the furnituremaking trades, where a 'white' piece of furniture is one that has been sanded, filled and prepped for finishing, but not yet had any finish applied to it. The wood usually has a white appearance, unless your work in teak or mahogany etc. a lot.

This is the most straightforward explanation of the production process I've seen. It would be good to see the segments in actual time -- not sped up -- but there may be time constraints and your audience's attention span to consider. Thanks for not obscuring the subject of the video with your face every 5 seconds (see "What's Inside?").

"Body in white" is the 1st stage after its 1st "coating" dip. Wikipedia: "The bodies were painted white prior to the final color. A folk etymology for "body in white" is the appearance of a car body after it is dipped into a white bath of primer (undercoat paint)— despite the primer's actual gray color"

At 4:12 it appears that you are showing seats being attached after the body frame and structural battery pack are already fitted together. You can see the frunk hood and top pillars as the seats are being installed. How can the hood be in view before the seats are installed?

that was a really good video, thanks for doing all the work :) --> 2030 (no waiting list) - was hoping you would show an example of the 30 second production: a clock ticking with a split screen showing the production steps...

Finishing a a new car every 30 seconds is very different than build a car in 30 seconds…

I live in Texas, my Model Y performance took 44 days from order to delivery, built in Freemont. Not that bad. They are definitely improving.

I agree - this was one of your best "efficient " videos so far. Keep up the good work! Thanks

I grew up in the 1960’s. You ordered your car as car lots were small. Options included, power windows(most cars were toll up), power brakes, power steering. Air conditioning, no power seats, am radio, am/fm etc. arrival time 6 weeks. If you order a MB, BMW, etc., around 6 weeks. My new 2017 model X was 6 weeks all the way to Hawaii. Tesla continues to grow with gas car production down.

Correction: you said most of the stamped body panels are aluminum. On the model Y, only the door skins and hood are aluminum. The fenders, quarter panels, rear hatch, basically the entire body, are made of steel.
