Tesla was just granted a patent for its revolutionary 'Unboxed Process'

Elon Musk says Cybercab will be 6-7x faster to produce than a Model Y at Giga Shanghai, where a vehicle is built every 33 seconds.

Do you think that some of the rideshare companies might be a little nervous right now?

“The Factory is the Product” is the secret.

Here’s how it will work:

The system utilizes an automated assembly cell with fixtures corresponding to each exterior vehicle part and references a global datum for precise alignment. Exterior vehicle parts are secured to fixtures using vacuum clamps or other means, and a structural adhesive is applied to either the part or a part-receiving location on the vehicle assembly structure.

The parts are then moved into their nominal positions relative to the global datum, thereby compressing the adhesive and completing the installation. The method improves assembly efficiency by compensating for substructure irregularities with an engineered adhesive gap and allows for continued assembly during adhesive curing through tacking operations.

This technology streamlines the vehicle assembly process, enhances quality, and increases production rates by reducing manual labor and potential for error.

The first vehicle to take advantage of this process will be Cybercab, as production is slated for sometime in 2026.
