Elon said the chip shortage was a lot like the toilet paper fiasco. But what really inspires me is that they said that there’s a lot of life left in the old girl in Fremont and that California can be up there with the biggest carmakers in the US. Fremont was originally a GM and Toyota assembly plant and is a mish-mash of buildings that have been revised and added to. The old girl has had a lot of facelifts and tummy tucks to get where she’s at, and what’s really inspiring is they say there’s still a lot of life in the old girl yet.

<< Tesla’s CFO Zach Kirkhorn sees a bright future ahead. He noted, “As we look forward, we expect 2022 to be another significant and exciting year for the company. We continue to drive for vehicle volume growth at or above 50%, as Elon mentioned, and our plans show that this is actually achievable with just our Fremont and Shanghai factories.” Meanwhile, Giga Austin and Giga Berlin will surely accelerate growth this year. >>
