Though the amount may seem huge, it is still small in comparison to Tesla’s aspirations, Kirkhorn said. Apart from upscaling annual vehicle production to about 20 million, the company’s long-term goals include raising annual energy storage production to one Terawatt-hour among others. Tesla further seeks to expand its battery cell production, along with more service and charging facilities.
Tesla would also need roughly a dozen factories to meet its sales goal, said Musk.
During the same event, the EV maker also announced entry into Mexico with its new Gigafactory at Monterrey. However, Tesla did not provide details on the cost of the plant. The factory would focus on manufacturing the EV maker’s next-gen vehicle.
Tesla also announced a new unlimited overnight home charging program for $30 per month.
