Elon Musk has released some incredible drone recordings showing the progress Tesla has made in Gigafactory Berlin.
There is now a giant structure that will soon house Model Y production.
Tesla Gigafactory Berlin
Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin is probably the most important project of the car manufacturer of 2021.
The company will not start the Model Y in Europe until the vehicle is manufactured in the new factory.
In addition to the introduction of the Model Y in the key market, Gigafactory Berlin will also manufacture 4680 battery cells, and this will be the first production vehicle to use Tesla’s new structural battery pack.
Therefore, there are many eyes on Tesla to follow its schedule to get started at Gigafactory Shanghai.
Tesla wrote in its shareholder letter about Gigafactory Berlin last week:
Local production and deliveries remain an important part of our growth strategy. While our total market share in Europe will increase in 2020, Gigafactory Berlin should enable a significant increase in local deliveries, similar to what we saw after the construction of Gigafactory Shanghai. The expansion of our factory in Berlin is proceeding as planned and we have already started to move machinery into the building.
The car manufacturer only directs the start of production ‘by the end of the year’, but in the documents submitted for the project, there are indications that production can start as early as July.
Production begins with Model Y, but Tesla is also expected to manufacture Model 3 and other vehicles at the factory.
Eles Musk, CEO of Tesla, has beautiful new drone recordings from the construction site of Gigafactory Berlin:
This is going to be the last thing Musk shares on Twitter for a while, as the CEO said he is taking a breather from the platform.
The video shows some progress with a massive main building being completed, as Tesla is already moving equipment inside and adding extra structures along the main structure.
