Tesla Giga Berlin is celebrating a major milestone this week – 4,000 Tesla Model Y cars produced in one week. This is a substantial number, equivalent to roughly 200,000 units per year. It’s also a thousand more than two months ago, indicating that the plant is ramping up production quickly.
The next milestone for Giga Berlin is 5,000 units per week (250,000 per year). This could potentially be achieved by Spring. Tesla Giga Berlin is not the only plant doing well – Giga Texas has also reached a production rate of 3,000 units per week in December.
Tesla cars from Germany are equipped with 2170-type cylindrical battery cells imported from LG Energy Solution’s plant in Shanghai. There was news that the project to localize production was put on hold, but it’s not clear when the company might decide to switch to the new 4680-type cylindrical cells.
The ultimate goal for Giga Berlin is 10,000 units per week (roughly 500,000 per year). This would be a major achievement for the company and would demonstrate the success of their production efforts. With the addition of the third shift in January, Tesla Giga Berlin is well on its way to reaching this goal.
