"...This is Tesla's super factory design drawing, covering a total area of ​​13.6 million square feet. It is full of wind turbines and the world's largest solar roof array. It has fully realized the use of all green energy. After its complete completion, it will become one of the world's largest physical building structures and can greatly increase the production capacity of Tesla's electric vehicles.

The first super factory will be a manufacturing plant that does not use fossil fuels but relies entirely on electricity.

Through a combination of a 70-roof solar array and solar ground facilities, we will use 100% sustainable energy.

The newly built roof solar array system has an area of ​​7 times that of the world's largest solar array system that has been put into use…”

Andy accompanied Ao Guanhai and the Minister of New Energy to visit the shocking all-robot factory first, and then started a new concept and fooling mode. Under the introduction of Tesla executives, he looked at the concept map of the so-called Tesla Super Factory.

“Have you chosen the construction site?”

Ao Guanhai looked at the design drawings of the super factory, his eyes shining, and asked what he was most concerned about.

The previous visit did give Aoguanhai a very shocking feeling. The car manufacturing factory that no one has, all of which are efficient robots. It is shocking and makes people feel that the future factory should be like this.

"Because the area is too large and there is enough sunlight to meet the solar array, we are conducting inspections of several states in the west with large deserts." Andy used this super factory to fish. When he saw the fish biting the hook, he would naturally cooperate and say what the other party wanted to hear.

“Is this super factory a car manufacturing factory?”

After hearing Ao Guanhai’s question, Andy explained directly this time: “It is a ‘super battery factory’ and an important bargaining chip for Tesla in the future. After completion, Tesla can significantly increase its battery pack production capacity and improve the production capacity problems Tesla is currently facing.

However, its total construction cost may be as high as US$5 billion. After completion, it will provide Tesla with 500,000 battery production capacity every year..."

"When are you going to start this plan?" Ao Guanhai and the Minister of Energy looked at each other and asked at Andy.

"We also want to start building it as soon as possible. After all, our battery technology has made breakthroughs, but the money is not enough, very insufficient!" Andy shook his head and said helplessly.

"Haha, stop kidding, you are Andy Smith, are you not enough money?" Ao Guanhai teased, causing everyone around to chuckle.

"One carrot and one pit, the richest man's family has no spare money." Andy said with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became more cheerful. Aoguan Beach asked while smiling: "You said before, are there new breakthroughs in your battery technology?"

"Yes, our Tesla-backed MIT scientists have developed a new battery material processing technology that can be used to make smaller rechargeable batteries that charge and discharge speeds are expected to be reduced to minutes or even seconds, rather than hours.

This technology has the potential to significantly shorten the charging time of mobile phones and laptops, and can also be used to create electric cars with better acceleration performance."

Andy introduced with a hint of pride and proud tone that technology is the primary productivity. As long as Tesla's electric vehicle technology remains the world's leading position, Andy is not worried about Tesla's collapse at all.

"The technological progress of this new battery is revolutionary to the industry!" The Minister of New Energy on the side was naturally very clear about the importance of this new technology and was not stingy with his praise and recognition.

When Ao Guanhai heard the approval of the Minister of Energy, he nodded with a smile, reached out and patted Andy on the back, and said with a close relationship: "Andy, let's take a look at your new car. The outside world is always paying attention to your Els plan."

"Haha, no problem, please, Mr. President, please, please." Andy's face was bright and he reached out to signal the invitation, and then walked towards Tesla's vehicle testing ground together.

If early 2008 was a year of Tesla's life and death, then 2009 was a year of continuous progress. After the out-of-combat Andy Smith officially took over, Tesla's entire changes have undergone earth-shaking changes. The biggest change is that it doesn't have to tighten its belt to live.

In 2008, according to the requirements of big boss Andy Smith, the fast-start ELS plan progressed smoothly. Design, testing and prototype manufacturing were successfully completed in early February 2009. For a young car company whose first product was not yet fully mature, it has to be said that the team's creativity and execution ability were amazing.

Standing outside the car, Andy looked at the Els test car with a smile on his face, listening carefully to President Ao Guanhai, the chief engineer of ELs R&D. Looking at the streamlined appearance of the Els prototype car, he felt very proud. Andy wanted Tesla to be far ahead of its competitors in product design, technology accumulation and business model construction. Only in this way can we survive better and grow stronger.

"It's great. I think this is the most beautiful, most advanced and cheap electric car in the world!" After learning about Els electric cars in detail, Aoguanhai, who walked out of the car, did not hesitate to praise her with praise.

"Although we all have a lot of confidence in reducing carbon emissions, it is not easy to do so. In the future, electric vehicles will definitely be valued and promoted by more and more governments."

Hearing Ao Guanhai, as president, say this, everyone present nodded and agreed.

"Andy, let's talk..."

"This is my honor, please do it here, Mr. President."

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone else stopped tactfully. Ao Guanhai took off his suit, put one hand in his pocket, and the other hand on his shoulder. He smiled and walked and chatted with Andy in Tesla's park. The agents of the Secret Service and Andy's bodyguards were scattered around, leaving the two in the protection circle at all times.

"Andy, I have to say that Esla gives people a stunning feeling, but this is also expected. You have grown and grown in the most difficult and expensive automotive industry, through world-class teams, idealized leaders and a good Silicon Valley entrepreneurial environment. At the same time, the technological progress brought by us is revolutionary to the industry. As an American, I pay the highest respect to Tesla."

"Thank you!" Andy smiled calmly for Ao Guanhai's praise and accompanied him to walk around the park. "For innovation, I have always told them that you need to be naive and naive, because if you are too mature, you will be very clear about the difficulties you are about to encounter and retreat. They are a group of very excellent guys and do a good job."

"Haha, it's not just good, by the way, Andy, I heard that Tesla is interested in acquiring the new United Automobile Manufacturing Company to increase its production capacity? How is the progress?" A bright light flashed across Aoguanhai's eyes, and he smiled and asked with concern.

Andy knew that the Ru opera was coming. If he wanted to get a loan from Aoguanhai again, then the "scented bait" that was thrown out early is an important part of it.

Xin United Automobile Manufacturing Company is facing bankruptcy, and the bankruptcy of such a factory will cause 5,000 people to lose their jobs. At the same time, Tesla is worried about mass production of its own electric cars because it does not have a complete automobile production line.

In this way, Andy sent someone to negotiate with the new automobile manufacturing company, while making noises to acquit the latter, in order to show goodwill to the Aoguanhai government and say that he could solve more industry problems. This would attract the attention of the White House and Tesla would be able to receive support again.

I have to say that this strategy worked.

"Yes, we do have the idea of ​​acquiring the other party, which just makes up for our own production capacity problem. However, the key is the price. In fact, the doubts from the outside world are correct. The green energy industry is indeed a money-burning industry. It is too expensive to engage in research and development and experiments, especially the mass production issue. Mr. President, don't look at the current development results of the ELS model, but I don't know when it will be time to wait for the real mass production, because I really can't afford that much money. Especially, we have a super charging station project. Oh, now when I think of these, I feel a headache..."

Andy began to cry poorly. This is the case in this world. Children who can cry can drink, not to mention that Ao Guanhai is also his own calculations. If you don’t cry at this time, when will you cry poor?

"Haha, okay, Andy, tell me, how much do you want?" Ao Guanhai naturally knew what Andy meant. However, for him, who is now in many criticisms and doubts, he urgently needed a highlight to disperse the firepower and the dissatisfaction of the people. There was no solution to the problem of 5,000 unemployment, which was more appropriate.

"Five hundred million..." Andy smiled and stretched out his palm and signaled in front of Aoguanhai: "Give us another $500 million in interest-free loan, we can not only acquire United Automobile Manufacturing Company, but also officially start mass production of els. Five thousand car manufacturers is definitely not enough, and we will also need a large number of skilled workers."

"Yes." Ao Guanhai agreed without hesitation, but looked at Andy with a slightly serious expression and said, "However, Andy, you also know that the new government's reform ability is questioned and many policies are accused of being reversed. I hope to support you, which can be the highlight, and hope to boost the economy from energy reform."

"Of course, I will never let my friends down! Without the support of Mr. President, we will not be able to complete the acquisition of the United Company, let alone mass production of new models. In that case, we can only watch the United Company go bankrupt, the workers are unemployed, and new jobs cannot be created..." Andy smiled and said the promise that Aoguanhai wanted to hear.
Chapter completed!
