Tesla plans to build its recently unveiled Robotaxi/Cybercab at Gigafactory Texas.
The automaker is also looking to build two new vehicles based on Model 3 and Model Y, but those will be built on the same production lines for Model Y at the factory.
However, those vehicles are expected to be fairly high-volume programs, and therefore, they will likely require new production lines for some parts of the vehicles, like stamping and drive units.
As for the Robotaxi, it is built on an all-new platform and manufacturing process, which Tesla calls ‘unboxed’. Some of the new factory expansions are expected to support Tesla’s production of the Robotaxi, which automakers believe will reach millions of units by the end of the decade.
The building permit applications mention a start of construction now and to be completed by the end of 2025.
Tesla’s new cheaper Model 3/Y-based vehicles are expected to start prediction at Gigafactory Texas in the first half of 2025 while the Robotaxi is expected to come in 2026.
