Tesla’s new Gigafactory in Gruenheide, Germany and the US state of Texas are almost vying for which one can provide more interesting images. Apparently the recently produced Model Ys have often been spotted in front of both of them – in Texas Dozens of them and last Friday carefully packed in plastic, At the site of the German Gigafactory, however, an observer filmed a few hundred of them over the weekend – and one of these German Model Ys very closely.

Texas factory supposedly According to Tesla, the first Model Y will be available to customers this quarter to produce. There is no such concrete statement for German, but providing the necessary approvals should be close as well.

It is possible that the close-up photographs should be interpreted as the preparation of an application for advance approval for trial production of more electric cars in Grunheide. Good At the end of 2021, Tesla allowed 250 Model Ys in advance And this year, in terms of their unsatisfactory quality so far, 2000 more, which in the meantime are also likely to reach approx.
