To see the first Model Ys leave the Gigafactory Berlin and reach their buyers is a huge relief for Tesla and Elon Musk.

However, the Delivery day that took place during today’s session was more than just a day of marketing. Thus, Tesla begins a new stage of its European presence. And although the production estimate of 500,000 Model Ys and Model 3s per year at this factory is still a long way off, Elon Musk sends a message.

Additionally, as the Gigafactory in Berlin gains production capacity, pressure on Tesla factories in China and the United States will be relieved.
“Sometimes people are sad about the future and wonder if we are going to solve the problem of energy sustainability, or they think that because of climate change it is already too late. I want to assure them that they can hope in the future, that they should hope in The problem will be solved and this factory is a big step in that direction,” said Elon Musk at the inauguration of the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin.
