On May 9, according to German media RBB, Tesla isMajor expansion plannedIts Grunheide plant in Germany (Tesla Berlin plant).
Tesla wants to buy east of current location, RBB reports, citing punditsabout 100 hectares of landTesla’s existing land area is about 300 hectares; it is reported that the expanded area will be used to build charging stations and storage areas.
Tesla CEO Musk once said at the opening day of Tesla’s Texas factory this year that Tesla will produce about 1 million cars in 2021, accounting for about 1% of the world’s total car production, and will strive for Tesla in the future. The production capacity can reach 20% of the global automobile production.
The news of Tesla’s expansion of the German factory this time further confirmed Musk’s previous remarks.
1. The land area to be purchased is about 100 hectares, and the approval of the authorities is still required before construction
It is reported that the area Tesla intends to expand is located between the RE1 railway line and the L23 and L38 country roads, with an area of about 100 hectares, most of which belong to the state of Brandenburg, and the price has not yet been determined.
And if the authorities decide to sell the land at the same price as the first 300 hectares, the value of the plot will beabout 13 million euros(about 91.88 million yuan).
It is worth noting that after Tesla purchased the land, before starting construction,Requires a municipal permit from Glenheadand the construction plan requires permission from all authorities, including local civic and environmental associations.

The area includes water source reserves and trees, and the amount of water required for the construction and commissioning of the Glenhead plant has caused dissatisfaction among some local residents.New expansion plans will reignite the same concerns among residents.
Previously, environmental groups were unhappy that Tesla had cut down a lot of trees on the land of the existing factory.
The good side of this land for Tesla is that electricity supplier Edis has built a substation on 6 hectares of land in 2021, which can also supply electricity to Tesla.
Geographically, this area is close to railway lines and highway lines, with convenient transportation. Tesla had said in 2020 that most supplier products would be transported by train to European factories. Similarly, new Tesla vehicles that leave the factory will also be transported by rail to markets in various regions of Europe.
Conclusion: Tesla continues to increase production capacity
In March of this year, Tesla’s Glenhead plant started production. Less than two months later, Tesla began its factory expansion plan, which is enough to show Tesla’s determination to increase production capacity.
Tesla previously announced that it hopes to receive as many parts and supplier products as possible by rail and ship, and will also ship most of the vehicles produced at the Green Helen plant to the market by rail.
Therefore, the railway system is crucial for Tesla’s raw materials, new car transportation, and the new expansion plan will obviously promote the connection between Tesla and the German railway system.
