Tesla showed more pictures from the new cell production line. Zero staff and a song against the background of "a million miles"

Tesla recalled that she is recruiting people for her cell factories near Berlin (Germany) and Austin (Texas, USA), and also provided more pictures from her 4680 cell production line.

There are 4680 cells on the production line. Think we've seen this already on Battery Day?

To keep things short, here's the video:

In the background, a song is heard with the following words I'd walk a million miles to kiss you baby (just to kiss you baby I'd walk a million miles) Oraz You made me happy and I felt so good (You gave me a charge and I felt so good, ródło) as well as numerous declarations of love.

It looks like the video is an extended version of what was presented to us during Battery Day (around 50:50 HERE). We can see on it, among other things, the winding of electrodes and the characteristic bulky cell bodies moving along the kilometers of the production line. We weren't able to notice that none of the pictures showed a person - so it's no surprise that Tesla is recruiting in droves.

In September 2020, Elon Musk announced that It will take Tesla about a year to reach a generating capacity of 10 GWh of cells. [annually]. He was probably referring to all cell phone manufacturers including LG Energy Solution (formerly: LG Chem) and Panasonic. Ultimately, the Grünheide plant near Berlin alone is expected to produce 250 GWh of cells.

The 4680 cells are 4,6 cm in diameter, 8 cm high, their body acts as a battery frame and reinforcing structure of the car, and the anode inside is made of silicone:
