That's as quick as ordering your lunch at a fast food joint.
Tesla has unveiled China's first Giga Laboratory, otherwise known as Giga Lab, showcasing its manufacturing process in a small commercial space. Following in the footsteps of its sibling factories worldwide, such as the renowned Giga Factory in Texas and in China, the Giga Lab in Chengdu features a sleek interior design and also functions as a store for visitors to purchase Tesla electric vehicles.
But the Giga Lab's biggest flex is the factory display showcasing how an array of robots assemble a fully functioning vehicle in just 45 seconds. That's just as quick as ordering a meal at your favorite fast food joint.

Tesla Asia showcased a robot arm constructing a Model 3 frame using a string system. In Chengdu's Giga Lab, transparent glass cases display car parts to educate visitors about Tesla's equipment.
The first Tesla Giga Lab in China serves as a gathering place for Tesla fans, offering opportunities for socializing and interaction. The lab provides comfortable seating arrangements and sofas that are spaced out to optimize the space. Visitors can also explore and learn about the vehicles' tools and equipment through framed displays on the walls.

Tesla cars are also parked inside the Giga Lab, giving visitors a firsthand experience of the car. Additionally, they are used to demonstrate the technology behind EVs.
With the Tesla Model Y topping the charts in vehicle sales for the first part of the year, and with China standing as the automaker's biggest market, the Giga Lab could be one way to promote its cars further. The automaker, however, hasn't confirmed whether Giga Lab will be replicated in other markets.
That said, here's to hoping that Tesla finds ways to address the growing concerns over quality and more importantly the safety of its vehicles and self-driving software.
