According to foreign media reports, in order to promote the automation of cable manipulation, Tesla has been reducing the length
of wiring harnesses in vehicles.
Tesla recently launched a new initiative to patent a new cable that is easier to operate by robots, preparing
its next-generation "Alien Dreadnought" car manufacturing plant.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said one of their biggest mistakes was trying to highly automate the production of Model 3 models, such as Tesla's attempt to automate
tasks that humans are better than robots, such as manipulating cables.
To facilitate the automation of cable manipulation, Tesla has been reducing the length
of wiring harnesses in vehicles.
Musk said that the Model S has a wiring harness about 3 kilometers long, and Tesla has shortened the wiring harness length of the Model 3 model to 1.
5 kilometers long
.
For future vehicles, Tesla aims to shorten the wiring harness of the Model Y model to 100 meters long
.
However, now Tesla also plans to use different types of cables, which are exactly its newly
patented.
Tesla patented its cable, called "structural cable," explaining that there was a problem
with the cable in the current application.
Traditional cables, such as component cables, USB cables, and HDMI cables, are easy to operate by hand and can be properly connected
to connectors on different structures or devices.
However, the installation of such cables is difficult to automate
.
Such cables lack sufficient structural integrity and rigidity to be easily picked up, moved, and placed
by robotic arms.
In addition, conventional cables are not rigid enough, so they are not easy to form different shapes and are not easy to install in predetermined locations
with strict space constraints.
During automotive manufacturing, it is often not possible to automate the process of connecting traditional flexible cables to different components, but manual connections are time-consuming, cumbersome and expensive
.
In addition, while some traditional cables, such as USB Type-C cables, are designed for multiple purposes (e.
g.
, power, data, and video can be transmitted over a single cable), specific applications do not need to transmit all three types of information
.
Tesla's solution was to set up "structural elements" inside the cables, with the goal of "manipulating them into the correct position via robotic arms as part of automated production, while providing a reliable data connection
