A couple of weeks before Giga Texas opened, Tesla's first European manufacturing facility opened on March 22 in Germany: Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg.
Keeping up with consumer demand for their cars is a challenge for this company. Delays and waiting lists are the rule while they work to ramp up their output. Back in 2017, CEO Elon Musk famously predicted a period of "production hell."
As many as 500,000 vehicles annually will come out of this factory, mostly Model Y. Up until now, cars were shipped from the Shanghai plant to fulfill demand in Europe while buyers waited 5-6 months. Giga Berlin will be a huge strategic asset for Tesla. No wonder Elon danced at the grand opening.
