The Tesla boss paid a visit to Germany just over two months ago. * At that time, too, he had a look at the
construction site of
his new factory for electric cars in
Grünheide
.
Tesla: Gigafactory in Grünheide should go into operation from summer
The
production
is to start in July 2021st
Starting next
summer
, electric cars from the US
tech giant
are to be manufactured
in Grünheide, southeast of Berlin
.
Initially,
500,000
vehicles per year with around
12,000
employees are planned
in the first stage
.
In a possible fourth expansion stage, up to 40,000 people could be employed, as can be seen from a draft for the development plan for the community of Grünheide.
The state of
Brandenburg
currently still has
to issue the factory's
environmental permit
.
Tesla is currently building with several preliminary approvals for individual construction measures.
Environmentalists
and
residents
, such as the “Citizens' Initiative against Gigafactory Grünheide”, fear that the construction of the factory
could harm
nature
.
