Elon Musk Says Tesla Has Plans for Another Factory In This City

The Chief Executive of Tesla, Elon Mask, announced plans this week for a fourth factory and design center.

Musk made the announcement at an awards show in Germany on Tuesday, where he was given a “Das Goldene Lenkrad” or “Golden Steering Wheel Award” by Bild, a publication owned by Axel.

This ‘Gigafactory’ will be located near Berlin in Germany and will be Tesla’s fourth, following the first Gigafactory battery plant in Nevada, near Reno; then another factory that makes charging equipment and power electronics in Buffalo, New York, with plans to make Tesla Solar Roof tiles there someday; and a car plant that’s coming online in Shanghai, China.

“Everyone knows that German engineering is outstanding, for sure. That’s part of the reason why we are locating our Gigafactory Europe in Germany. We are also going to create an engineering and design center in Berlin, because Berlin has some of the best art in the world,” said Musk.

According to the CEO, the factory will be located near the new airport in the Berlin area.

In a tweet, Musk later wrote what the company will do: “Will build batteries, powertrains & vehicles, starting with Model Y.”
