Recently, Tesla released the news that the opening ceremony of Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory will be held at 15:00 local time on March 22, Germany, when Tesla CEO Elon Musk will also attend and deliver the Model Y high-performance version manufactured by the Berlin Gigafactory to 30 car owners.
Just last week, the Berlin Gigafactory, which has been under construction for more than two years, was finally approved by the relevant German authorities. According to the Environment Department of the German state of Brandenburg, the annual output of the Model Y of the Berlin Gigafactory will reach 500,000 units, equivalent to 53.4% of Tesla's delivery last year, and its official production is undoubtedly of great significance to Tesla's production capacity increase.
As Tesla's first gigafactory in Europe, the gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, has been attracting attention. The factory was originally approved last summer, but it was eventually delayed by 9 months, in addition to the complicated approval process and strong opposition from environmental groups, Tesla's battery factory application was too late, and the initial license application did not include it, which led to the delay in the start of the Berlin Gigafactory.
