We have a very big news update from Tesla Gigafactory Berlin. Based on the unwrapped model Y bodies, seen at Giga Berlin, some in the industry think that Tesla may have already started the production Testing of Model Y. I stress again the production testing. In this report I am going to make two arguments about these unwrapped Model Y bodies seen at Giga Berlin.
A friend of Torque News from Grunheide, Albrecht, who tweets at Gigafactory_4 and Tesla's Berlin progress shared a picture of multiple Model Y castings sitting outside the factory.
The picture on his Twitter shows eight vehicle bodies wrapped in plastic, with the plastic seemingly blown off of one, revealing the Model Y. You saw the picture as the thumb nail for this video and I will also post the picture in the Community tab of our Youtube Channel, so please take a look at that.
Also visible in the picture are wrapped pallets from Geico Taikisha, a company involved in paintshop solutions.
Benzinga publication thinks These bodies may have been produced at Gigafactory Berlin as initial general assembly testing of newly installed equipment. The parts could have also been shipped from the Fremont factory in California to use as a reference.
"They could also be there to test the new painting equipment, which Technoking Elon Musk said will have an entirely new paint system," concludes Benzinga. In other words, these Model Y body castings may have been shipped to Giga Berlin from the Fremont factory to study them, test them and to train workers.
Speaking of workers at Giga Berlin. Things are going to fast there that Tesla is in a hiring spree at Giga Berlin with 28 new job postings in three days.
Joey Klender from the Teslarati notes that Tesla is preparing for Giga Berlin’s first operational period in what is expected to be July 2021 by posting several new employment opportunities at the electric automaker’s initial European vehicle production facility.
In the meantime there is a new German documentary out by ZDF that points to issues at Tesla Gigafactory in Grunheide. In my next video I will talk about that with some interesting facts.
For example, Elon Musk at some point almost gave up on Giga Berlin. Here is why. It is not clear if Tesla wanted to have a factory in Germany or if it was an effort from politicians such as Jörg Steinbach, minister of economic affairs of Brandenburg. He is the one that tells about a conversation with Elon Musk in which Tesla’s CEO almost gave up on the factory if he could not call it Giga Berlin.
Apparently, Steinbach told him he wanted to promote Brandenburg and that it was a big no-no to have a factory in that German state called Giga Berlin. Berlin is the country’s capital but also considered as one of the 16 constituent states in Germany. Musk would be ready to give up on the factory due to the name. I will try to tell you more about this in my next report.
