When Elon Musk announced that he was building a Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, many environmentalists shared their concerns.

Experts said that the massive factory could make the noise, air, and water pollution in the area worst. Although this is the case, Musk's efforts allowed them to open the Giga Berlin.

Now, the billionaire plans to expand the 300-acre Gigafactory Berlind using the land it purchased, which is just beside the already-built manufacturing plant.

Specifically, the new land is located directly east of the Tesla Giga site. It is also between the RE1 line and the L23 state roads.

Based on the information gathered by German media, Tesla will use the newly acquired land to construct a train station, as well as new storage areas.

As of writing, the automaker hasn't confirmed if it successfully completed the land acquisition. On the other hand, Tesla also decided to keep the total amount a secret.

But, some experts claim that the new land could be worth around $13.7 million. While waiting for the EV maker's official announcements, the automaker is still making efforts to enhance its Model Y productions.
