Additionally, the Model Y produced in Europe should be considerably different from the one that is made in Fremont and Shanghai.ĭuring Tesla’s Battery Day, the company showed off its plans for a new 4680 battery cell as well as a structural battery pack. In addition to those (future) advancements, the European Model Y will also be the first to use Tesla’s front and rear single casting pieces, significantly reducing the parts in the car. Gigafactory 4 has plans to produce the Model Y before it produces the Model 3. The construction of Tesla’s Germany factory started in early 2020 and is expected to begin operations in the summer of 2021. The proposed location would be just 20 miles away from Berlin and would produce both the Model Y and Model 3 at a production rate of 500,000 cars a year. In the end, Germany was announced as the location in late 2019. Above: A concept rendering of Tesla's Gigafactory in Germany that should start Model Y production mid-year (Source: Tesla)
