Tesla Giga Berlin Becomes Region’s Largest Industrial Employer! Road to 500,000 EVs Yearly?

Tesla Gigafactory Berlin is now the largest industrial employer in the German region.

It comes as Giga Berlin Germany attempts to achieve its impressive goal to produce 500,000 electric vehicles (EVs) per year once the auto factory reaches its full potential.

Tesla Giga Berlin Largest Industrial Employer

One of the newest Tesla facilities outside of the United States, the Giga Berlin in Germany, achieves its latest milestone as it tries to massively expand its workforce.

As per a news story by Inside EVs, the recently-completed Tesla Gigafactory in the largest city of Germany, none other than Berlin, has been consistently attempting to grow its team in the past few months.

It is worth noting that the renowned EV maker owned by Elon Musk looks to expand its workforce to roughly 12,000 workers once the Giga Berlin hits its full production capacity.

And as such, Tesla has already grown its team at Giga Berlin to more than 5,000 employees as it hits an average production of around 1,000 EVs every week.

It essentially makes the auto factory in the largest city of Germany the biggest industrial employer in the Berlin region. That said, Tesla beats other German carmakers in employment.

Tesla Giga Berlin: Road to 500,000 EVs Per Year

The latest weekly production number achievement comes even as the new Giga Berlin is just a few months old. It recently opened its doors in March of this year.

However, this is still far from the end goal of the renowned American automaker.

In fact, the Musk-led EV maker actually looks to make around 500,000 EVs every year in its Giga Berlin plant alone. So, Tesla ultimately attempts to produce roughly 9,600 vehicles per year by that time.

But as the Giga Berlin is still starting to ramp up to its full potential, Tesla targets about 3,000 all-electric cars before 2022 faces its final curtain call.

Inside EVs estimates that by the middle of this decade or in 2023, Giga Berlin should start producing more than 9,000 vehicles every week.

Tesla Giga Berlin Pause Production

And to hit these numbers, Tesla continues to ramp up production in Giga Berlin.

According to a recent report by Clean Technica, the giant EV maker is temporarily halting the operation of its auto plant in Germany for two weeks.

The temporary suspension of Giga Berlin starts this July 11 as the automaker plans to significantly increase its production volume by August.
