Today, a historic event took place for Tesla – the company’s first factory in Europe officially opened. It is located in the town of Grünheide, Brandenburg, not far from Berlin. The company already employs about 3,000 people, and in total Gigafactory Berlin will create 12,000 jobs. It is interesting that during all two years the construction was accompanied by various kinds of scandals and protests (mainly by environmentalists and environmental activists), and even today there have been such actions.
Hundreds of guests attended the opening, including Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck and Brandenburg Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke. Of course, it was not without the presence of the head of the company, Elon Musk.
The design capacity of the Gigafactory Berlin is 500,000 electric vehicles per year, but so far the production volumes of vehicles are more modest. Today, the company handed over 30 first Tesla Model Y to its customers. In addition to the crossover, the plant will assemble the Model 3, as well as produce batteries and power plants.
