Recently, according to foreign media reports, Tesla's gigafactory in Austin, Texas, may soon officially start construction and start mass production of Model Y.
According to people who have long observed the construction progress of Tesla's Austin Gigafactory, the plant and production line should have been completed, Tesla has produced a number of test and pre-production vehicles at the factory, testing the efficiency and process of the production line, and some other vehicles will be sent to other parts of the United States for collision, endurance and other tests.
If this is the case, then Tesla's current new factory, the Austin Gigafactory will be the first to be put into production. Interestingly, Tesla's gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, actually started construction earlier, but it has not obtained a permit to officially put into production.
But in any case, the Berlin Gigafactory will certainly start operations in early 2022, which will allow Tesla to accelerate the pace of market expansion in Europe, thereby consolidating its influence in the global market.
