Giga Berlin Cell Production Still On, But Tesla Will Focus On Austin via insideevs.com
Tesla has not given up on producing batteries at its plant in Germany, but the company says it is prioritizing battery manufacturing in the United States because of the prospect of tax incentives.said Tesla had paused plans for a 50 gigawatt-hour battery factory next to its vehicle assembly plant in Grünheide, near Berlin.
This led some media outlets to speculate that Tesla could drop battery production plans in Germany. However, that is not the case. Company representatives told local politicians on September 16 that it still plans to open a battery factory in Grünheide, although it is now focused on ramping up battery production in Texas faster than planned., this move could be supported by using German engineers and German-built components.
