A few days ago, we learned from relevant sources that Tesla will hold the opening ceremony of the Berlin Gigafactory on March 22 at 15:00 German time. It is reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk will attend the opening ceremony and deliver the Model Y high-performance version manufactured by the Berlin Gigafactory to 30 car owners.
After more than two years of construction of Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory, after a long wait and challenge, it finally passed the approval of the relevant German departments last week. According to relevant news, after the Tesla Berlin Gigafactory is officially put into production, the annual output of model Y will reach 500,000 vehicles, which is undoubtedly a great increase in Tesla's production capacity.
It is understood that as the first gigafactory established by Tesla in Europe, the construction process of the Berlin Gigafactory can be described as a twist and turn, which has attracted the attention of the public. The factory, which could be approved last summer, was eventually delayed by 9 months to pass the approval of the relevant Departments in Germany due to various factors, and the main reason for this problem was the overly complicated approval process and the strong opposition of environmental organizations; Tesla's battery factory construction application was also relatively late, and the initial license application was not obtained, which hindered the official operation of the Berlin Gigafactory. We will continue to pay attention to more car information.
