Tesla Germany factory: Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg
While Tesla was given temporary approval for commercial production earlier this month, it is possible to produce 500,000 vehicles per year at the facility. The goal of Tesla, which literally changed the automotive industry with its electric vehicles, was to start production in this factory in the summer of 2021, but Problems and environmental concerns in the supply of parts, especially the coronavirus epidemic, chip crisis Due to the very delayed opening.
The construction of the factory, where parts such as batteries and motors will be produced, had to stop for a while due to environmental concerns. Tesla had a serious legal fight here. Musk said in a statement after the increased reactions at that time that Gigafactory will use “relatively” less water and argued that the forest that had to be cleared for construction was unnatural (it was planted for a cardboard factory).
According to the information shared in the German press in the first half of 2022 It is expected that a maximum of 30 thousand vehicles will be produced in this factory. Later, production will be increased gradually and 50 GWh battery capacity will be reached as well as 500,000 cars per year.
While the factory is expected to provide employment for 12 thousand people, only 3000 people have started to work at the moment. Currently, Tesla has factories in Nevada, New York, Shanghai and Berlin. While the fifth factory is being built in Texas, the vehicles produced in the factory in Berlin will also be sold in our country.
