Musk said he was very pleased to be able to deliver the first mass-produced Model Y at the Berlin plant, thanking all those who helped, "Tesla will ensure that the Berlin plant is a gem in the region, Germany, Europe and the world." ”
Musk gave a brief speech before the delivery ceremony. Tesla will continue to work towards manufacturing and using sustainable energy, after which they will continue to produce batteries and store renewable energy at their Berlin factories. He is confident that through the combination of solar, wind, battery storage and electric vehicles, he will help the world transition to a future of sustainable energy. "As long as the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, you can create a sustainable energy future," Musk said at the scene.
In addition, Musk also gave a speech to workers. "Every car Tesla makes is moving in the direction of sustainable energy, and those vehicles give us the reason to believe in the future because we're making the future better with every car we make," he said. "Starting with the Model Y, Tesla will produce a lot of models at its Berlin factory, which will be a center of excellence that will really impact the world.
In fact, Musk announced the plan to build the Berlin Gigafactory as early as 2019, but during the construction process, due to the new crown epidemic, environmental protection and other factors, the factory was not officially put into operation until now. Although the process has gone through several twists and turns, Tesla's Berlin factory can be officially put into production, and Musk can hardly hide his happiness and excitement.
The official opening of delivery at the Berlin factory means that Tesla is making great strides into the European new energy market. And how European car companies will respond, we wait and see.
