Tesla vs. America’s Most Productive Car Factories

To be the chief executive of “a real car company” has become one of Elon Musk’s most important aims. In order to achieve that, he wants to get into competition with the most productive car factories in North America by turning Tesla Inc. into a mass producer which will be able to at list complete or overcome their standards.

Even though the company had a rough year of factory problems which resulted in the rollout of its Model 3 electric sedan, Tesla does not stop and it a step closer to achieving this goal. Tesla’s weekly output from its only plant from Fremont California is of 6,944 cars at the end of June also taking into consideration 5,031 Model 3s. According to 2018 production data which has been estimated by just-auto.com, a market research firm, Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. can reach the 14th place among 70 auto plans in North America if they could somehow keep their level this high.

To sustain such output over a period of 52 weeks is more difficult than achieving Elon Musk’s self-imposed deadline of producing almost 7,000 cars in one go-for-broke week. Tesla’s average has been of 3,378 vehicles per week for the first half of the current year which put the company only on the 48th place in the ranking of North American factories, a fact which is disappointing regarding CEO’s aim.

Elon Musk offered Bloomberg Businessweek an interview in which he made a prediction that his factory will be able to make 5,000 Model 3s per week by August all in addition to Model S and Model X cars without implementing any major changes.

He said, “In three months I think 5,000 will feel normal.”

In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Musk predicted that by August his factory would be able to make 5,000 Model 3s each week, in addition to Model X and S vehicles, without heroic measures. “In three months,” he said, “I think 5,000 will feel normal.”

As stated by a lot of tech bloggers and leaks sites, 2019 will be Samsung’s year. The South Korean company is hurrying to launch Galaxy S10, its flagship in three different sizes.

For the past few generations of Samsung high-end handsets, we have been used to receiving two sizes of such a phone, the big one, and the entry-level mini version.

The sizes expected of the Samsung Galaxy S10, says Kuo, are supposed to be 6.4, 6.1 and 5.8 inches. In order to buck Samsung’s trend of placing the sensor on the rear panel for it to facilitate the accommodation of the Galaxy’s Infinite Display from the past two generations, the two larger phones will be featuring ultrasonic in-display fingerprint readers. The entry-level device’s fingerprint reader will be mounted on the side. The Bell, the Korean news site, has also stated that this will happen to help S10 with security features.

The users of the large version of Samsung Galaxy S10 will benefit from the 3D front camera for facial recognition and three other cameras. With this feature, Samsung has the chance to beat Huawei and its tri-camera P20 Pro who wears the crown at the moment in DxoMark’s top spot.

Another rumor the public is excited about is the appearance of Galaxy X. This model is said to be a foldable one, and Consumer Electronics Show 2019 from next January might be the host of its announcement. Even though this sounds so innovative, it might not make Samsung fans get $2,000 out of their pockets for this device.
