On Saturday Tesla provided a rare look inside the Giga Berlin factory, showing a real production in the process. These are probably the test vehicles, tesla Model Y electric crossovers produced at Giga Berlin.

Tesla inaugurated on Saturday its future "gigafactory", the first in Europe, hoping to deliver its first electric cars in December.

Thousands of people were welcomed for a festive ceremony, while the company has still not received a building permit and some residents oppose the project.

Participants of the Giga Berlin tour were transported by special shuttles to Grünheide, on the outskirts of Berlin, forming long queues to access the group's first European factory, in front of which dozens of white marquees, a Ferris wheel and merry-go-rounds had been installed.

At the end of the afternoon, the iconic boss of the group Elon Musk made an appearance, trying to read a few sentences in German, before resuming his speech in English.

“We are ready to start production within a few months, in November or December, to hopefully deliver our first cars in December,” he said.

"With this plant, we want to produce inexpensive electric cars and in large quantities (...) in order to accelerate the energy transition", also launched Elon Musk, to applause.

The ceremony took place over electro music concerts, factory tours and vegetarian food trucks, for a day that the American group wanted in the image of Berlin, European capital of the party.


"No date"

Through these "open doors", the American manufacturer wants to show its white paw to the inhabitants, after several months of controversy.

Tesla has indeed benefited from an exceptional and controversial prior authorization procedure, which allowed it to start work in 2019, before having a building permit.

No final approval has since been issued by the local authorities, who are still assessing the impact of the plant on the environment. However, the work is almost finished.

This exceptional regime - and the resulting administrative situation - aroused the anger of some residents, worried about the region's water resources and biodiversity.

At Giga Berlin Elon Musk also plans to build "the world's largest battery factory" there.

The group will have to dismantle the plant at its own expense if no building permit is issued. An outcome deemed "improbable" by Mr. Dudenhöffer, because of the "political support" for the project. "All political parties are in favor," recalls the expert.

But “edifice modifications” could be requested, delaying the opening. This was initially scheduled for July.
