Tesla plans Giga Berlin expansion to reach one million vehicles annually
Tesla is accelerating expansion plans for its Giga Berlin factory in Grünheide, Germany. The company aims to submit a second partial permit application by the end of the year to facilitate the construction of a new production hall. This new facility is expected to cover approximately 536,000 square meters, more than double the size of the existing hall.
The long-term goal of the expansion is to double annual vehicle production from 500,000 to one million units. Additionally, Tesla plans to significantly increase its battery cell manufacturing capacity to 100 gigawatt-hours per year. To support these operations, the company intends to hire roughly 3,500 new employees.
To address environmental concerns, Tesla stated that the expansion will not require further deforestation. The company also plans to implement a dedicated water loop and its own wastewater treatment system to minimize the impact on local drinking water protection areas and municipal utilities.
