However, this factory allows simplify the production process and introducing in-depth improvements, such as the rear subframe, which will be made with just two large pieces of metal instead of the previous 70, even with just one piece when the redesign process is complete. Until Berlin, much of the Model Y’s chassis and body structure was inherited from the Model 3, from which it derives. Whoever wants to buy a Model Y in this continent, will not be able to import it from Fremont or from Shanghay, the two remaining production sites, and will get “a revolution in engineering”, especially in terms of its bodywork, because the new Gigafactory It will be an opportunity for Tesla to improve the model. This will be the focus of production for all of Europe. “It will be a revolution in body engineering,” said Musk, who is counting on increasing quality, reducing production costs and offering very competitive prices. In the case of the electric SUV, the European version will improve the body design of the one now manufactured only in Fremont, California. Also listed on the plan is a U-shaped vibrating test track between the two aisles, which each new car must pass before delivery.Īccording to the company, this factory will not only serve to meet the European demand for Model 3 and Model Y, but it will be an advance in terms of technological innovation and will also try to take advantage of German technology, which Musk has repeatedly praised in his latest statements. In addition to the manufacturing chain, a continuous room 740 meters long, another smaller space appears exclusively dedicated to the production of engines and transmission trains.
“Giga Berlin” is the caption with which Musk tweets this image today, six months after submitting the first application for construction and with a plan quite different from what appeared in that specification. Each shift will be made up of about 3,500 workers and there will be three daily shifts. The cost of these facilities will exceed one billion euros and will employ more than 10,000 people on the first day of operation, a figure that the company expects to increase as production requires it. And the focus of its expansion is the large mega-factory that the American company is building on the outskirts of Berlin, in Grünheide, Brandenburg, and of which Elon Musk has just published the first images through social networks.
Next year around this time, Tesla will be ready to flood the European car market with up to 500,000 electric cars.
