1:04 Move a seat using a hoisted manipulator 1:08 Fasten screws on metal frame of seat using cordless pistol-grip screwdriver 2:00 Stitch/staple cushion/padding on the seat using a pneumatic stapler 2:10 Wrap cover over the seat 2:30 Adjust the cover on the seat 2:45 Mount back of the seat on its metal frame 3:01 Close the zipper around the seat while adjusting the fabrics 5:30 Adjust and work on seat on a conveyor

I could watch car assembly videos all day long. The robot interaction with people is great to see.

7:08 took me a while to understand this tube thing. I don't think it's vacuum, the tube would collapse under atmospheric pressure. The halfway thing is that they only put enough pressure behind one bolt to make it go halfway through the tube, so there's multiple bolts in the tube at one time.

@jjcdrummer

It’s blow feed. The screws get dumped into a vibrating bowl feeder that feeds them into an in-line track, then when the robot requests a screw the PLC knocks one off and blows it down the tube. There is 3 of them on the lower frame assembly line. Had a lot of trouble trying to keep the screws from turning upside down when they get knocked off into the chute. Good to see that line running smoothly though 😁

What a well made video!

Well done ...keep up on this way...!

Fantastic video, sir.

Thank you. I really like your video.

I’m watching this for the first time in February 2021. It’s amazing. I wonder what the factories are like now.

6000 M3's a week divided by the number of hours a week is about 36 cars per hour or about x 5 seats per car is 180 seats per hour. 3 per minute. Did I miss some other lines? Very interesting video. Thx. The seats are quite comfortable.

@CleanTechnica There are only 4 seat manufacturers in the world that all car brands share - did not know this, i would never think that it was such a complex thing

Please tell us about water electrolysis for water clean purification and the opportunity for Tesla on this field.

Wow. how good was that

At 1:45 we are told that "Tesla has always said" there are things robots can't do. No, not "always". The original Model 3 assembly line tries to use robots for some of those tasks, which is HOW Tesla learned when not to use robots. A lot of the "production hell" we heard about was that painful learning process.

Very interesting!

Interesting. Thank you

Where is this “plantation “ section I keep hearing about here? I’m interested.

Where do they sew the seats?

Cool video.

Nice!!

I wonder if the material is also made in house

Awesome:)

The robotics are fantastic!!!! I wonder if they rotate employees to avoid injuries from repetitive work.

Long shot, but, does anyone know where the leather pieces to the seats are sewn together (and/or how)? Does it happen at the Fremont Factory? Also, does anyone know if there is any waste that occurs in the process? Thanks!

That is not leather. it is a synthetic material.

Watching this is love/ hate for me. I love the changes Tesla constantly improves on. I hate that we don't do it at this pace at my job! Currently Toyota is believed to be the benchmark to strive for in manufacturing. In the very near future companies will begin to realize that Tesla is who they need to emulate.

CleanTechnica lol, I was wondering. Thought “strange coincidence”

I have been educating people on the basis of the 4 other seat manufacturers described in this video. However I went on a google search and found as many as 10 seat manufacturer names and companies worldwide. Another listing mentioned the top 5 seat manufacturers which did not include tesla as they are for their own. Where did you get your information? What is correct? I wanted to give people correct information.

I would love ventilated seats, seems like the material they use really gets hot compared to traditional leather

It was cool to see these details. Thanks for showing us. Interesting to see how they shave time off the process. However, it looks like it will take a while to achieve what Elon said the speed of manufacture would be: “You will need to use a strobe light to see what is happening”.

1:16 Maybe 10 or 15 years ago I heard a BBC doco on BYD and they said they made everything in the factory except tires and windscreen glass. So I'm thinking they make their own seats. They have raw materials come in one end and cars go out the other end. BYD started as a battery manufacturer. They made a Ferrous Lithium battery that was a little on the heavy side but didn't catch fire.

& why is the assembly so slow

great job if there were nesting cameras in any tesla factory they would be a big hit

Do they do the seat design and cutting of materials in house?

@cleantechnica

The seat design they do. The same building as the seat factory has lots of offices and people working there on that. As for cutting the material we are not completely sure, if they do then we did not get to see that part of the factory.

You mentioned efficiency and speed at the end with the bolt air gun, and how they shaved off 0.8 of a second. But no comment on speed when the glacially slow red transport robots spent what seemed like ages standing still before moving, earlier in the video. Why do they take so long to think before moving at the intersection?

@cleantechnica

5 жыл бұрын

That is a good question, but if that speed ever becomes an issue I'm sure it won't be too hard to improve upon that. If you see how long work at any given station takes and considering that one of these robots carries at least a dozen, the slow speed should be sufficient for now.

@simian_essence

Hey, thanks for that answer! Speed is not an issue there because of a 'bottleneck' in the workflow that the robots are serving. It makes sense now....that is if that's the real reason they're moving so slow.... But it makes sense. Thanks! @@cleantechnica​

In a lot of cases the robots can go faster but that would only be helpful if all stations following it and preceding it would also have that same speed or the line would have to split up afterwards. This is actually something we hope to explain in a bonus episode.

So when we were on the tour, you only have one chance to film everything and you never know what's coming next. In this specific case I was not expecting the robot to turn and had to move the camera a bit quicker.

There are more than 4 seat assembly companies in the world. The assembly of trim cover to foam shown is common in the industry, "by hand". I love my TESLA but I think you are over selling this facility.

@2:24...."look at all the work that goes into this".......but you would be amazed at how little those line workers get paid, as and how much pressure is on them!

That right of way though 3:36 🙄🙄😂

Amazing robots, im especially impressed with the one in the purple shirt.

Good video, but there is a difference in the takt time vs. total build time. While a seat probably comes off the assembly line every 33 seconds, that doesn't mean it takes 33 seconds to build, there are many steps/stations along the way. But this seems to be a much more balanced process than the car assembly process. Humans and robots building at the same pace. Humans taking on the labor robots can't do, and robots taking on the ergonomically unfriendly, repetitive tasks.
