In the world, where electric and autonomous vehicles are slowly becoming popular, Tesla is certainly one of the companies that contribute the most to this trend. The company, which was founded in 2003 under the name Tesla Motors and later funded by Elon Musk, has already managed to enter the middle of today’s most expensive companies.
The automotive giant, with which Musk was promoted to the founding stakeholder level with the decision taken in the past years, made the first deliveries of its factory opened in Texas at the event held yesterday. There was a visual feast at the “Cyber Rodeo” party in the production center called Giga Texas.
The lot that marked the opening of Giga Texas: Cyber Rodeo
The United States of America, whose construction started in July 2020 and started production, albeit finitely, before the end of 2021. The Giga Texas automotive manufacturing facility in the US state of Texas began delivery in the first week of April 2022, that is, yesterday. Before the delivery, an event called Cyber Rodeo was held, supported by various shows.
It is thought that the name of the event was taken from the Tesla vehicle called Cybertruck, which is expected to be available for sale in 2021, but it is said that it will not be ready for delivery in 2022 after various disruptions.
Elon Musk: What’s the use of door handles?
While Tesla’s CEO and co-founder Elon Musk opened the event, futuristic pronunciations and plans, as always, started to come up from the first minutes. The strongest person in the world, who started his speech with a cowboy hat, showed the new version of Cybertruck for the first time. This new version has more side mirrors and headlights, while the door handles have been removed.
This situation is “Who needs door handles? The car can understand that you are there and open the doors by itself.” Explaining in the form, Musk also said that robotaxes, which are now a dream, will be included in our lives in the future.
The event started with the show of drones
In the event, which started with drones, the face of Nikola Tesla, whose name the company bears, was depicted in the sky. Afterwards, Tesla Model Y and Cybertruck vehicles were also depicted in the sky by drones.
The people who made great efforts to come to the event also attracted attention. Some fans came to Texas for this event from far away. The company’s new factory, which allocates space for 15 thousand people, will take on a major task in the production area. The Tesla Model Y, which was first unveiled in 2019, will be produced at the production facility. Next year, we will see Cybertruck, which is waiting to be produced with its extraordinary image, in this factory.
