AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/19 Report--

Tesla CEO Musk previously revealed at an award ceremony in Berlin, Germany, that his European super factory will be located in Berlin, Germany, with a planned investment of about 4 billion euros (31 billion yuan), and its annual production capacity will reach 150000 vehicles after the plant is put into production.

Tesla said that 4 billion euros is the total investment in the new factory, but it is not clear how much will be invested in the initial investment. The plant is located in an area near Berlin's new airport, specifically in an industrial park near Greenhead.

As for the reason why the European super factory is located in Berlin, Germany, Musk has revealed that Germany, as a big country in the automobile industry, has top automotive engineering technology, so this is one of the reasons why they chose to build the European super factory in Berlin. In fact, the original plan for Tesla was to set up a super factory in the UK, because Tesla has continued to climb in the UK in recent years, but due to Brexit, there will be a lot of uncertainty about setting up a factory in the UK, such as increasing tariffs on parcels.

In order to build the factory, Tesla said that up to 70 hectares of forest would be cut down. However, Tesla promised that after felling, they will replant trees in another area nearby, and the area is three times the size of the felled area, a move that has also been questioned by some environmentalists. because the move could threaten the survival of rare animals in the area.

When the new plant is completed, it will be mainly responsible for the production of Model Y models, as well as its batteries and powertrain. Tesla also announced that Tesla had already started the recruitment work before the factory was built in Germany. In the first phase, the factory will be able to create 3000 jobs, and then this number will gradually rise to 8000-10000.

Construction of the plant is scheduled to begin in early 2020 and is expected to be completed and operational as soon as 2021. This confidence also stems from the speed at which Tesla built the factory in China. It took only 10 months for Tesla's Shanghai factory to start production from January 7 to October 7 this year. This speed is amazing and also a milestone.

In addition, Musk revealed that Tesla eventually planned to build 10 to 12 super factories around the world, and it was certain that there would be one in China and Europe at that time. With Tesla's factory in China to put into production, some of the trains are very efficient, we can see that Tesla is full of confidence in the market.
