In the era of electric vehicles, Tesla is undoubtedly the most dazzling existence in the world. In the traditional car company camp, Volkswagen has made up its mind to transform electric vehicles.At the same time, Volkswagen’s CEO Dis is also a “hard fan” of Tesla Musk.Even to a certain extent, he compared Volkswagen with Tesla in many aspects, and concluded that Volkswagen is inferior to Tesla, which will reduce the morale of the Volkswagen Group to a certain extent, but Diss believes that such a comparison It will encourage the public to make faster progress and at the same time realize their own problems.
According to reports, some media recently exposed the conversation between Diss and the management of Volkswagen, which explained in detail why he regarded Tesla as a competitor.
Diss said that the competition between Volkswagen and Tesla is largely related to manufacturing.Tesla Musk also agrees with this. He said more than once that manufacturing capacity will become Tesla’s main advantage.
Although Tesla’s current production quality is lower than that of any global car company, and the quality is not as good as traditional luxury cars, Tesla is the world‘s number one electric car sales leader.At the same time, with the increase in production in recent years, Tesla’s annual production capacity has increased to 1 million vehicles.
Diss said that Tesla has long been praised for its software, range and acceleration performance, but it has been criticized in terms of quality.
But it is learning fast, and Tesla’s quality is getting better and better. At the Berlin Brandenburg plant, Tesla wants to produce 500,000 cars with a team of only 7,000 people (including direct and indirect participation).The production efficiency is also amazing. It is estimated that a single production line will produce 90 units per hour, and each car will only take 10 hours.
In contrast, at the Volkswagen Zwickau plant, our production time for a car is more than 30 hours.We hope to reach 20 hours next year, and the initial goal of the project is 16 hours. In terms of manufacturing efficiency, there is a big gap between Volkswagen and Tesla.
At the same time, Tesla’s current valuation is relatively high and it has unlimited access to funds and resources. The huge difference in stock price makes him have to point out that this is a new competition. Musk has now completely changed the automotive industry and has quickly become extremely competitive.
In addition, Tesla has not yet put into production in Europe, all of which are imported models.But the Tesla Model 3 became the best-selling car in September in Europe, leading the Volkswagen Golf.
Tesla is today’s benchmark, and some other powerful new car-making companies in China have begun to enter our market.
