Tesla has launched an FPV drone video clip, virtually 3 minutes in size, showcasing how its Mannequin Y automobiles are manufactured in its new facility referred to as Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg’. Situated in Berlin, Germany, and opened final week, the 4680 cell manufacturing constructing is projected to provide as much as of 500,000 automobiles, and thousands and thousands of battery cells, on an annual foundation.
The video begins within the parking zone the place the drone flies over a whole bunch of black stationary Mannequin Y autos, plus a couple of driving down the highway, earlier than getting into the manufacturing unit. As soon as inside, the drone deftly maneuvers its approach via big stamping presses making the hoods, doorways and different elements of the automobiles. What’s spectacular, apart from the abilities of the unnamed pilot, is the entry a small FPV drone will get vs. that of a conventional digicam crew.
The FPV drone was in a position to maneuver via hazardous areas to point out how the automobiles had been being manufactured and assembled. |
The IDRA 6000 casting machine exhibits the entrance and rear single-piece underbody being made together with a couple of glimpses of big robots holding them in place. The viewer additionally will get a tour via Gigafactory Berlin’s paint store, whips via a collection of places of work, loops round engineers in an open assembly, and concludes by showcasing a ‘excessive 5’ by two workers on the finish. The mannequin of the drone can also be unknown and regardless that this wasn’t a one-take video, the vary is spectacular.
The drone made its approach into the manufacturing unit’s ‘paint store’ flew via it unscathed. |
The Giga Berlin Mannequin Y manufacturing unit is the primary in Europe to fabricate battery cells. ‘To attain the transition to sustainable power, we should produce extra inexpensive EVs and power storage, whereas constructing factories quicker and with far much less funding,’ says Tesla in a public assertion. CEO Elon Musk was on website final week to have fun its public grand opening and ship 30 Mannequin Y automobiles to house owners.
This is not the primary time a drone has been used to showcase the huge expanse of a facility in nice element. Jay Byrd Christensen was the primary to go viral with his single-take of a bowling alley whereas a promotional video for the Nationwide Soccer League (NFL) by Johnny FPV was produced earlier this 12 months.
Whereas the drone video showcases a totally functioning facility, Tesla says building on the Gigafactory will not be full till later within the 12 months. Maybe a sequel of this video will likely be created as soon as completed. Tesla is utilizing this FPV video, together with a number of posts on its official Instagram account to recruit new workers.
