TESLA: According to rbb24, Tesla plans a major expansion of Giga Berlin. The company intends to build a second production hall north of the existing site measuring about 5.77 million sq ft. That is more than double the current hall’s roughly 2.36 million sq ft. They want a long-term target of up to 1 million vehicles per year. Tesla has stated that the phased expansion was outlined in a 2023 partial-permit application, with basic approval granted on October 15th, 2024. rbb24 says new applications for the northern hall are expected in December, with possible construction starting in 2027 for over a roughly ten-year timeline. The plans also include an additional water cycle and on-site wastewater treatment facility, plus an on-site substation. This has not been officially confirmed by Tesla or Elon.
