It’s hard to believe, but just 10 years after Tesla got an empty and apocalyptic factory from GM & Toyota in Fremont, California, it has two giant factories operational, one gigafactory half operational (a fully owned factory in China), and two gigafactories under construction (in Germany and Texas).
The Berlin-produced Tesla Model Y is going to be a revolution in automotive body engineering, according to Elon Musk. He just noted this in response to Tesmanian’s Eva Fox, who wrote an article covering Volvo reverse engineering a Model Y in Sweden.
A Tesla Model Y has been spotted in Europe. The photo was taken at the Dordrecht Supercharger in the Netherlands. In the photo, you can also see a Tesla Model S Ranger.
German authorities are expecting the first planning documents for the new Tesla factory to be filed as early as Monday, and promise to move the permitting process forward as quickly as possible.
