In June this year, the plant’s weekly output reached 1,000 vehicles for the first time, a major milestone since the plant began production in March, meaning the plant’s monthly production capacity has exceeded 4,000 vehicles.
To boost production, the plant suspended vehicle production for 12 days from July 11 to July 22 this year for upgradation.
In late July this year, foreign media reported that Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory plans to produce 3,000 Model Ys per week starting in October.
During an earnings call in July, Tesla’s senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, Drew Bagrino, noted that the Berlin Gigafactory could produce 5,000 vehicles a week by the end of the year.
