Tesla Plans Production Boost at Giga Berlin Following Rebound in Europe
Tesla said the expansion follows a rebound in European demand after two years of declining sales and would lift output about 20% to 7,500 vehicles a week.
- On Thursday, Tesla announced plans to hire 1,000 new employees at its Gigafactory Berlin plant in Germany, aiming to ramp up Model Y production by 20 percent to 7,500 vehicles per week.
- This expansion follows a sharp rebound in European demand after a difficult 2025, with EU registrations climbing 67 percent year-over-year in April, signaling renewed market confidence.
- These 1,000 new hires build on 1,000 additional staff Tesla recruited in April to lift output to roughly 6,000 vehicles per week; the company is also staffing battery production in Germany.
- If Tesla meets its October target of 7,500 vehicles per week, Giga Berlin will operate at roughly 390,000 vehicles per year, marking the factory's highest sustained output since opening four years ago.
- Although this output remains below the 500,000-unit annual capacity Tesla promised at launch, the hiring push signals confidence in the European market amid strengthening competition.
