According to Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk, the production at the Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg might start as early as November and customer deliveries will follow in December.
After a ramp-up phase, the Tesla Model Y output should be at 5,000 per week (over 20,000 per month or 250,000 a year) by the end of 2022. Tesla’s ultimate target is about 10,000 a week, or about 40,000 per month and 500,000 a year.
Last week, CEO Elon Musk, during the electric carmaker’s shareholders meeting, announced plans to move its headquarters from California to Austin, in Texas.
Elon Musk explains that some of the reasons for relocating are because its Fremont, California factory is “jammed” and it is tough for people to afford houses in California.
