On August 1, Tesla officially announced that the 10 millionth electric drive system rolled off the assembly line at Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory, which marks Tesla's first "10 million" milestone. Subsequently, Musk posted on social media saying: "Congratulations to the Tesla electric drive team!"

The electric drive system includes motor, gearbox and motor controller, which can convert electrical energy into kinetic energy, and they are the three major parts of the era of electric vehicles. It is reported that each part of the electric drive system was designed and manufactured by Tesla from scratch.

Less than two months ago, Tesla announced that the 5 millionth electric drive system was off the assembly line at the Nevada factory. Tesla executives revealed: "Once, we struggled to produce 100 electric drive systems a day, but now we have crossed the 10 million milestone." Data shows that Tesla can produce an electric drive system every five seconds worldwide.

In addition, Tesla has always been committed to reducing the cost of the electric drive system. According to Tesla engineers, the new generation of high-performance electric drive systems of Tesla's new Model 3 Performance, compared to the previous generation, boosts power by more than 20%, and at 80-100 km/h, its electric drive efficiency exceeds 97%. In terms of performance, the new Model 3 Performance can accelerate from 0 to 100 in just 3.1 seconds, travel nearly 8 kilometers per kilowatt-hour, and brings a high-efficiency travel experience. At the same time, the production line for Tesla's electric drive system has become more efficient and economical, and the cost of the electric drive system is now half that of the original Model S.

It is reported that Tesla has more than 6 million car owners around the world. According to the latest data released by the China Passenger Car Association, the estimated monthly deliveries of Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory in July reached 74,117 units, a significant increase of 25% from 59,261 in the previous month.
