The facility may be put into production test as soon as next week and officially put into operation in the next few months p> < p > the source said that Tesla is expected to produce the first special model y for testing as early as next week. This means that the car can operate normally, but it can't drive on the street. The production of a beta model y can help train new workers to produce all electric crossover vehicles that meet road driving requirements at a Texas plant p> < p > the source also said that the model y that "meets the road driving requirements" may start production in two months. In a few weeks, Tesla may officially start production of model y at the end of the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth quarter. These estimates are consistent with the time frame given by Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, at the recent earnings conference call p> < p > musk said at that time: "the performance of the Texas team was really great, and so was the Berlin team. We expect that the newly designed model y will be produced in limited quantities at these two plants later this year. " p> < p > the model y produced at the Texas plant will be slightly different from the SUV assembled at Tesla Fremont plant. For example, the model y of the Texas plant will use large castings, and Tesla hopes to match it with a new battery pack soon p> < p > musk explained at the second quarter earnings conference call in 2021: "the front and rear bodies of model y produced in Texas and Berlin are cast in one piece, while the model y manufactured in California only uses the rear body cast in one piece without the front body." p> < p > he added: "our goal also includes matching 4680 battery pack, which will help to significantly reduce costs. In addition, we have backup plans, such as continuing to use 2170 batteries. But in large-scale production, we obviously want to use 4680 battery pack. From a physical point of view, this is the best architecture. From an economic point of view, this is the best way to reduce costs. " p> < p > after model y is put into production, Tesla also plans to start producing its electric pickup cybertruck at its Texas plant. Model y production will be Tesla's main focus for the rest of this year. This quarter, Tesla announced that it would start delivering model y to European customers. The company also announced in the second quarter financial report of 2021 that the Shanghai plant is now the main export center( Small) < / P > < p >
