NordenBladet – Tesla’s German plant in Brandenburg near Berlin has reached a production of 4,000 cars per week, quadrupling from May, according to a company statement.
The plant, which hit the production target three weeks ahead of schedule, could have an annual output of over 200,000 vehicles. The maximum capacity planned for the Brandenburg plant is 500,000 cars per year, nearing 10,000 per week, the company said.
Tesla planned to ramp up production from the plant to 4,000 in the week of March 13 and to over 5,000 by the end of June. This would allow the company to use a larger share of its Shanghai production for markets outside Europe, including Thailand, where it has just launched sales.
Tesla’s investor day on March 1 will feature Musk promoting the company’s artificial intelligence capability and plans to expand its vehicle lineup.
