Tesla is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make its factories more sustainable, as revealed in its Extended Impact Report for 2024.
Examples include managing HVAC infrastructure at Gigafactory Nevada with AI control and implementing optimization controls in plastics and paint shops at Gigafactory Texas to increase efficiency.
Tesla aims to phase out natural gas use across its factories and prioritize work to reduce emissions from that energy source specifically.
The use of AI at Gigafactory Nevada has helped reduce energy demand through AI-controlled HVAC infrastructure and managing entire chiller plants for optimized energy consumption.
