Tesla plans to double Giga Berlin with 536,000 sqm hall; Cybercab and Optimus tipped for 2028 EU production
JOBhakdi · x · 2026-10-15
Tesla is planning a second production hall of roughly 536,000 square meters next to Giga Berlin (vs 219,000 sqm today), with permit applications expected in December and construction possibly starting in 2027.
The poster speculates that Cybercab and the Optimus humanoid robot will be produced in Berlin: both need a European manufacturing hub to mitigate tariff risks, and both could be in production by 2028. He stresses this is a logical inference, not confirmed fact.
The sheer scale suggests room for new products beyond Model Y, signaling Tesla's confidence in European demand.
