According to foreign media reports, after several delays, Tesla's Berlin factory will not be put into operation until mid-March at the earliest, mainly because Tesla still needs to wait for the final approval of the local government.
At this point, two years have passed since Tesla invested in the construction of the Berlin factory in Germany (November 2019 to present), which is in stark contrast to the construction speed of China's Shanghai Gigafactory (January 2019 to October 2019).
According to media reports, in order to accelerate production, Tesla has been eager to start recruiting new employees for the painting workshop, and also released the official video of the painting workshop, showing the most advanced painting workshop that Tesla has always been proud of.
In addition, sources said that because of the production of the Berlin Gigafactory, Tesla will also add a new body color.
Why has the Berlin factory been postponed so many times?
On November 13, 2019, Musk announced that he will build a fourth gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, taking into account local factors (slow), and plans to take 1 and a half years to start production by July 2021.
However, due to the slow progress of the review and the lawsuits of local environmental groups, the start of production of Tesla's Berlin factory has been significantly delayed than originally planned, and it has not yet received final approval, which is in stark contrast to the construction speed of China's Shanghai Gigafactory.
Recently, there have been reports that Tesla has repeatedly changed the amount of toxic chemicals that may have leaked in the accident in the declaration materials, which may have affected the progress of the government audit. In addition, local government officials have not yet evaluated Tesla's plans to clean up wastewater. Only after the completion of the above procedures can the factory obtain the necessary production permits.
When will it be ready for production?
Foreign media reported that the government will complete the above approval procedures around March, and Tesla has begun to recruit employees for the new factory.
In addition to this, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted last month that he would visit the Berlin factory in mid-February.
The boss was forced to personally supervise the battle?
summary:
The berlin factory (more than 2 years) contrasts sharply with the speed of construction of the Shanghai gigafactory (10 months), which reminds me of a saying circulating in the industry: "Without Greater China, there would be no Tesla". Considering again, Musk's proposal that "in 2030, global sales will exceed 20 million vehicles", perhaps only China's intelligent manufacturing and Chinese speed can achieve this goal!
