But what could be the reason behind this?
Tesla Model Y from Giga Berlin Germany
The Giga Berlin in Germany is home to thousands of Model Y electric vehicles (EVs).
And Tesla continues to ramp up its productions, boasting a recent milestone for the automaker owned by no less than Elon Musk.
As per a news story by Inside EVs, the Giga Berlin facilities marked a monumental milestone for the Musk-led firm.
The Tesla Gigafactory in Germany reached a record-breaking production number of 1,000 Model Y EVs in merely a week.
The EV maker announced the latest milestone, and its CEO and founder, Musk, congratulated the folks behind the record-wrecking achievement.
The Tesla boss wrote: "Congratulations to the Giga Berlin team on making over 1,000 cars in a week."
Inside EVs notes that if the Tesla facilities in Germany keep up with this pacing, it should produce roughly 50,000 Model Y in a year.
However, this number is still far from the goal of the EV maker to achieve a production rate of over 500,000 cars every year.
Meanwhile, the Model Y Performance variant is facing a few hiccups in Giga Berlin, thus delaying its deliveries to its customers.
