Tesla optimizes a key part of the full platform for the self -driving of its vehicles during the production phase, as it revealed the ability of cars to be occupied in logistics batches in its factories.
Earlier today, we announced that Tesla uses FSD to remove its vehicles from the production line at the Fremont factory and the logistics batches where they will be loaded with carriers and will be taken to customer showrooms. This is a new development in what is the continuously improving Tesla production process.
Tesla puts FSD working in Fremont, Giga Texas Next?
At the Fremont factory in Northern California, Tesla vehicles are excluded from the production lines and take 1.2 miles of travel to the logistics batch-all without a driver and completely independently, moving through intersections and other congested areas of the massive factory print:
There is a look at the whole 1.2 miles of travel brand new Teslas takes their loading area from Fremont Factory production lines
This is 3x speed. We know you don’t have all day ⌚

However, there is a new piece of puzzle, which is revealed by the head of Tesla Autopilot, Ashok Elluswamy. A Tesla fan noted that these vehicles need to calibrate the camera before working on full -time driving or autopilot, something that was done after the vehicle was built in the past.
Tesla now optimizes this process with a new focus on production efficiency, striving to calibrate the external cameras of the vehicle during the construction process as the vehicle makes a way through production lines:
🚨 Calibration of Tesla’s camera is already completed while the vehicle is manufactured to eliminate a step at the end of production.
Production efficiency is key to maintaining Tesla demand!

The calibration of the camera is not exclusively for Tesla; It is necessary for all vehicles that use an advanced driver support system (ADAS). Even Ford’s simple escape with tape support technology will require the camera calibration after completing it. It is also necessary when the windshield is replaced.
However, depending on the model and the year, from eight to nine Tesla external cameras require calibration at different levels from most vehicles. In fact, Tesla tells its website that calibration takes between 20 and 25 miles to complete.
He has obviously found an internal process of these Fremont production lines, which prepares it for 1.2 miles of transitions through factory sites and in logistics batches.
