Seven years after Musk casually announced Tesla's first European Gigafactory on a Berlin awards stage, Giga Berlin has built over 1 million drive units, employs 12,000 people, and is ramping toward 7,500 Model Y a week (one car every 45 seconds). 4680 cell production starts by mid-2027, making it Europe's only plant spanning cell-to-finished-car, and a second production hall more than twice the current size is being planned.
