According to Tagesspiegel, Tesla’s German factory is already the largest industrial employer in the Berlin area, and Tesla plans to raise wages for the factory’s employees by 6%. According to INSIDEEVs, in the past few months, Tesla’s German factory has grown in size, and the company has employed about 5,000 people so far.
When the factory reaches full capacity in the future, Tesla expects the factory will have 12,000 people. Although the plant only opened in March this year, it currently produces about 1,000 vehicles a week, INSIDEEVs said. Meanwhile, INSIDEEVs estimates that the plant will be able to produce around 3,000 vehicles per week by the end of the year.
When Tesla invested billions of dollars to build the factory, Tesla estimated that its final annual production capacity would reach 500,000 vehicles. However, Tesla will close the plant for 10 days next week in order to upgrade the German factory and establish a shift system.
Currently, Tesla’s German factory only produces the Model Y, and the Model 3 will also be produced at the factory in the future, but it is not certain whether the factory will produce the Model S and Model X. At present, Tesla has not released new versions of the Model S and Model Y in Europe. At the same time, Tesla does not show the estimated delivery time of these two cars on the European website.
Tesla produced 258,580 vehicles in the second quarter. In the first quarter, the company produced 305,407 vehicles. Taken together, Tesla produced 563,987 electric vehicles in the first half of 2022 and is on track to deliver more than 1 million vehicles this year. It is worth mentioning that most of the cars produced by Tesla this year came from the Tesla Shanghai factory. In the last month alone, the Shanghai plant produced more than 70,000 vehicles.
