The U.S. Stock Research Agency learned that at 23:00 Beijing time on March 22, Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory held a groundbreaking ceremony and delivered the first Tesla Model Y produced by the factory. At the scene, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz attended the event and witnessed the launch of The first Tesla Gigafactory in Europe and the fourth tesla gigafactory in the world with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
In his speech, Musk said: "Tesla will ensure that this factory is a gem in the region and in Germany, and for the region, Germany, Europe and the world." Every car we build will be another step towards a sustainable energy future. Musk stressed: "We are extremely confident that the world can transition to a sustainable energy future through a combination of solar, wind, energy storage batteries and electric vehicles." ”
Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory is one of the largest investment projects in the history of the German automotive industry in recent years. Previously, Musk said that the Berlin plant will have nearly 10,000 jobs, which will significantly increase the number of jobs in categories such as human resources, operations and business support, supply chain, environment, health and safety, engineering and information technology, and energy-solar and storage in addition to manufacturing.
Hilegard Müller, president of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), also said: "German automakers should accept the challenge posed by Tesla and put German cars on the road to the era of electric vehicles. ”
The completion and commissioning of each Tesla Gigafactory will not only greatly improve the delivery efficiency, but also have a positive impact on the development of the local economy and industry, so the Berlin Gigafactory has attracted the attention of the German Chancellor and all walks of life in Germany.
Similarly, since the Completion and Operation of the Shanghai Super Factory in 2019, the localization rate has exceeded 90%, driving the development of Lingang, Shanghai and surrounding areas, greatly increasing the employment rate, and also bringing successful experience and new vitality to the development of China's new energy industry. On October 25, 2021, Tesla Shanghai R&D Innovation Center and Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory Data Center have also been officially completed and put into use. The Shanghai R&D innovation center is Tesla's first overseas vehicle R&D center, and Tesla's localization process in China has been further advanced. At present, Tesla will also accelerate the landing of China's second factory, continue to set a benchmark for intelligent manufacturing and clean production, drive the continuous improvement of the new energy vehicle industry chain, and promote the early realization of China's "double carbon" goal.
