In January of this year, the Tesla Fremont plant was officially recognized as the most productive car factory in the US, a notable achievement given that it\u2019s all kind of jumbled together based on changing needs and it doesn\u2019t look like the most organized car plant, at least when you fly a drone overhead…<\/a><\/p>\n 14<\/span> Photos<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n But the automaker is only looking up. Its Giga Texas facility<\/a> was built with even bigger ambitions, to churn out 1-million vehicles per year, or around 20,000 each week. It also features many improvements that speed up the car building process, the most important of which being single-piece casting parts for the front and rear parts of the chassis, as well as the structural battery pack in the middle – this is now only implemented for the Model Y<\/a>, but it is seen as the way forward by Tesla.<\/p>\n Tesla<\/a> doesn\u2019t have plans to give up on the Fremont plant, though, as Elon Musk<\/a> says they may increase production by around 50 percent, although he didn\u2019t say how the company would achieve that. According to Electrek<\/em>, which got hold of a recording of a recent companywide Tesla meeting where this was mentioned, quotes Musk as saying<\/p>\n We are now the biggest car factory in North America. That\u2019s pretty sick. Sometimes people are surprised, like \u201cTesla is making cars in the Bay Area?\u201d Yeah not only we do, but we have the biggest car factory in North America.<\/p>\n We also recently exceeded the number of cars produced from when it was a Toyota\/GM factory, and I think we even have the potential to beat that number by 50%.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n![\"Tesla](\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\")
