If you just bought an electric vehicle, you might be wondering what you&#8217;re going to do when you leave for a vacation or a long business trip. Because, unlike traditional petrol/diesel vehicles, electric cars have a battery pack that tends to drain over time. Here is a reliving answer to your concerns:
An electric car can sit for at least two months without charging. The exact time you can leave your vehicle without charge depends highly on the charge level and weather temperature. The average charge loss is around 1.5 to 0.5 percent per day. In some cases it can be as low as 0.1 percent or as high as 2-3 percent. The smart features (such as Tesla&#8217;s Summon), climate control, preconditioning the cabin and the battery pack, always-on security features (Tesla Sentry Mode, Rivian Gear Guard, etc.), dog mode, and other features that keep the car&#8217;s system awake will drain the battery faster.
In order to make your electric car last longer without charge, you need to disable all features that might keep your car consumes energy even if you leave it unattended for weeks.
Here is some advice that will help you conserve your EV&#8217;s battery level:
&#8211; Turn on the vacation mode or power-saving mode if it exists. (some EVs have deep-sleep modes optimized for these situations)
&#8211; Disable security mode, dog mode, etc. that might keep your car and its sensors awake.
&#8211; Do not use mobile apps connected to your car if it&#8217;s not necessary. By merely running those apps will wake your car&#8217;s systems and drain your battery even faster.
&#8211; Make sure that your battery level is above 50 percent. Tesla even suggests that you leave your electric car plugged in if you&#8217;re going to be absent for more than a few days. Other manufacturers recommend leaving your car&#8217;s battery at an average charge level, neither full nor lower than 50 percent.
&#8211; Turn off any preconditioning feature. These settings might start your car without you knowing and preheat the cabin and battery pack in cold temperatures.

Electric car batteries are made possible by using probably the most advanced battery technologies on the market. But they still self-discharge, some batteries might drain faster and some might hold on to their energy better. If you leave your electric car parked for a couple of days, weeks, or even months, you will see that you lose a significant percentage of charge when you&#8217;re gone.

How Long Can An Electric Car Sit Without Charging?

Peugeot

Peugeot struck the mark with the 3008, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular cars in Europe&#8217;s fiercely competitive compact SUV segment. The third-generation <a href="https://www.licarco.com/peugeout-e-308">E-3008</a> is anticipated to debut later this year, despite the second generation receiving a makeover in 2020 and mild hybrid powertrains in 2023.
The latest 3008 made its debut back in 2016, and it marked a dramatic shift from the minivan it replaced. With Peugeot&#8217;s distinctive LED fangs added during the 2020 facelift, the SUV gained in attractiveness. Yet as time goes on, so do the trends in vehicles that call for higher-riding SUVs to have more contoured bodies and sportier attitudes. Peugeot will convert the third-generation 3008 into a coupe SUV just like this.
<h2>The E-3008 Will be Sportier Than  Its Predecessor 408 Fastback</h2>
The newly designed tail will be the focal point of the new model, changing the proportions and allowing it to compete with more expensive rivals. The 3008 will appear sportier than the 408 fastback despite being somewhat taller and slightly longer than it. The revamped design will also make distinguishing the 3008 from its boxier 5008 sibling&#8217;s successor easier.
The character line will be simpler and straighter, and the roofline will be more slanted towards the back. It wouldn&#8217;t be shocking if Peugeot reduced the amount of plastic used to cover the bodywork to make the SUV appear more upscale and less daring.
Like other Peugeot models, the smaller LED taillights with three-claw designs are expected to be joined by a dark-tinted trim piece. The duo-tone approach with the black-painted roof and pillars will likely be carried over to the following generation, while new wheel designs and a fresh color palette might spice up the aesthetics even more.
The future model is expected to get bigger in line with the SUV trend, leaving a more significant gap between it and the soon-to-be facelifted 2008, which has a length of 4.300 mm/169.3 inches. The length of the present 3008 is 4.447 mm/175.1 inches, and the upcoming version is expected to be significantly longer. Despite its coupe-SUV look, this size increase will improve the car&#8217;s proportions and give more space for passengers and baggage.
<h2>The New STLA Medium Architecture Will Debut With the New 3008 As Its Initial Model</h2>
The new Peugeot 3008 will be the first vehicle to ride on the new STLA Medium architecture, the company has officially announced. In the second half of 2023, the electric E-3008 will make its debut, shortly followed by the bigger and mechanically similar E-5008. Peugeot will still provide other choices in the form of electrified powertrains for some areas that are not yet fully prepared for EVs, even if the zero-emission powertrains will be the major emphasis of the new generation.
In comparison to the present EMP2 platform, which supports the Peugeot E-308 and many other Stellantis EVs, the STLA Medium architecture is anticipated to deliver increased technological capabilities on the electric front in terms of power output and range. More precisely, Peugeot will provide customers with a choice of three distinct electric powertrains for the E-3008, with an emissions-free range of up to 700 km/440 miles.

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> have not only bigger batteries and electric motors but also more advanced software compared to ICE vehicles. There are even a couple of EV-oriented operating systems for automakers to use. Tesla, as the pioneer of EVs, has the lead in automotive software with its famously cool features, remote capabilities, etc.
But it doesn&#8217;t mean that <a href="https://licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a> always run smoothly. Tesla Model 3 and Model Y users occasionally report that their main screen is frozen, got stuck on a menu, or doesn&#8217;t properly work or respond. It&#8217;s not usual, but there is an easy fix for those kinds of problems. You need to restart/or reboot your vehicle&#8217;s main system.
In this article, we created a step-by-step guide for Tesla vehicle owners to help them reboot/restart their electric cars easily.
<h2>A Step-by-Step Tesla Restart/Rebooting Guide</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32907" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="468" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-300x187.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-768x479.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1536x959.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1568x979.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons.jpg 2035w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Step 1. Pull over your Tesla and shift it into Park Mode.
If you encounter any problem regarding the main screen while you&#8217;re driving, Tesla highly recommends that you don&#8217;t continue to drive and just safely park your vehicle as soon as possible.
Step 2. Put your hands on the steering wheel and hold down both scroll buttons/wheels.
Some other reboot guides tell you that you need to press the brake pedal while holding. This action doesn&#8217;t impact the restarting process. So, it&#8217;s not required.
Step 3. Keep holding down the scroll buttons until the main screen turns black.
The Tesla logo will appear on the touchscreen after a few seconds. It&#8217;ll take around 30 seconds for your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen to restart.
By following these steps, you will only restart your Tesla&#8217;s touchscreen. It doesn&#8217;t power your vehicle&#8217;s whole system off and on. If the screen still has problems while operating, you might try manually powering off the vehicle. Just go to the &#8216;Controls&#8217; menu and touch the &#8216;Safety&#8217; option. Then, press the &#8216;Power Off&#8217; button to power cycle the vehicle.

How to Restart/Reboot Tesla Model 3/Y?

When Tesla first announced back in 2019 that they would produce an all-electric pickup truck starting from $39,900, people rushed to the automaker&#8217;s website and put their names on the waiting list. But at the end of 2021, Tesla removed any info regarding Cybertruck&#8217;s price and specifications from the pre-order page. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All 1.7 million Cybertruck reservation holders</a> wonder: will Tesla honor its original Cybertruck price list?
After almost three and a half years, Tesla&#8217;s original price list for Cybertruck is not relevant today, because of inflation, material prices, chip shortage, etc. There&#8217;s a high chance that Tesla will not honor the Cybertruck prices. But this special all-electric pickup truck is designed in a way that it won&#8217;t be needing any paint or expensive aluminum parts. Instead, Tesla will use a paintless stainless steel exoskeleton body to reduce manufacturing costs. Lithium-ion batteries are also a lot cheaper than what they would cost in 2019. So, it&#8217;s definitely possible for Tesla to produce and sell Cybertrucks at the original price points.
<h2>Cheaper FSD for Cybertruck Reservation Holders!</h2>

Truth be told, Tesla is not obligated to honor the Cybertruck price list that was announced at the unveiling event and put online for two years. It&#8217;s, however, officially confirmed that FSD pricing is fixed for the Cybertruck reservation holders, which is half of what the FSD package costs today ($15,000). Even if Cybertruck gets a price bump, there&#8217;s a $7,500 cost advantage for the customers who chose FSD while ordering their pickup truck.

Will Tesla Honor Cybertruck Price? | FSD Price Advantage

With the brand-new Cyberster, which honors vintage British roadsters, MG is going back to its roots. Prior to its premiere at the Shanghai Auto Show next week, the electric car has been largely unveiled courtesy of images from China&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants of the Cyberster will be offered, with the twin motor type offering up to 536 horsepower (400 kW) of electric power.
Leaked design patent drawings first revealed the production version of the 2021 MG Cyberster concept in June 2022. The concept was then seen in its natural state in February 2023. The outside of the automobile is definitely appealing, and the new photographs offer us the finest look at it so far. Given that roadsters are uncommon in today&#8217;s age of SUVs, the public is likely to react positively to the MG Cyberster.
<h2>Cyberster Can Reach a Maximum Speed of 200 kph/124 mph</h2>
The front electric motor on the Cyberster has a rated power of 101 horsepower (75 kW) and a max output of 201 horsepower (150 kW). The motor at the back typically generates 215 horsepower (160 kW), with a top output of 335 hp. (250 kW). The vehicle can go 200 kph/124 mph at its peak speed. No battery information is provided.
The Cyberster has the following physical measurements: 178.5 inches (4,535 millimeters) in length, 75.31 inches (1,913 mm) in width, and 52.32 inches (1,329 mm) in height. Wheelbase measurement: 105.9 inches (2,690 mm). In terms of length, width, and height, the MG is somewhat larger than a 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata, which measures 154.1 inches, 68.3 inches, and 48.8 inches. It had a 90.9-inch wheelbase.
The curb weight of the Cyberster is 4,376 pounds according to the Chinese source. (1,985 kilograms).
Roadsters like the T-series, MGA, MGB, and even the F from the 1990s are well known under the MG name. The Cyberster doesn&#8217;t clearly show any stylistic cues from the previous versions except for the two-seat arrangement and the opening roof. Sharp creases are used in the style and flow over the hood&#8217;s arched shape and through the doors.
The taillights are arrow-shaped towards the back. The lowest part features a noticeable diffuser.
A few of the alternatives that MG plans to provide are also depicted in the illustrations. There are soft toppers in black and red. Customers could choose from a variety of wheel styles and symbol designs.

Automotive batteries will be a key investment area, according to Panasonic Group CEO Yuki Kusumi, who made the announcement on May 18 during the Group Strategy Briefing. The Japanese producer recognizes the significant market need for EV batteries, particularly for cylindrical-type cells, and the high market development potential, particularly in North America.
The company is anticipated to construct a few more battery factories later this decade, at least two of which will be in North America.
<h2>Priority Investment Area: Automotive BatteriesPanaso</h2>
Panasonic stated that compared to the previous generation, which was introduced in 1994, the current generation of battery cells already has a volumetric energy density that is more than three times greater (about 800 watt-hours per liter). The target is to reach 1,000 Wh/L by 2030.
We understand that Panasonic&#8217;s cathode chemistry was the first among high-nickel NCA/NCM cathodes to achieve less than 5% cobalt concentration, and according to Panasonic, a &#8220;cobalt-free&#8221; cathode is within reach. It&#8217;s interesting to see that nickel content will also drop.
The fact that Panasonic provided batteries for around two million electric vehicles without ever having to issue a battery recall is one of the most significant facts.

<h2>The Research And Development Infrastructure Of Panasonic Grows In Japan</h2>
One battery facility for 2170-type cylindrical cells is now being operated by the business in North America at the Tesla Gigafactory 1 in Nevada, and a second is being built in Kansas. Although we also know that the new 4680-type batteries are slightly delayed, the objective is to increase EV battery manufacturing in North America.
Panasonic plans to boost the total amount of EV batteries it can produce annually from 50 gigawatt-hours (GWh) to 200 GWh by March 2031, of which about half will be brand-new cylindrical battery cells of the 4680 type.
Although a 300 percent rise in just eight years is remarkable, Panasonic is still far from being the world&#8217;s leading EV battery supplier by volume.

Panasonic Plans To Construct New Battery Factories In North America

Tesla has made a fresh announcement on the construction of a Megafactory in Shanghai, China, to produce energy storage commodities for the market.
The company revealed its Master Plan 3 at Investor Day, which included the expansion of energy storage battery capacity globally as one of its main elements. The company already operates a Megafactory that creates Megapacks. It is in the United States. The manufacturer, however, continues to advance since it is obvious that this will not be enough to fulfill the demand, which is clearly still increasing quickly.
Megapacks, a large battery system utilized in extensive energy storage projects for electric utilities throughout the globe, are the exclusive focus of the plant&#8217;s operations. It is boosting Gigafactory Nevada&#8216;s output and increasing capacity by up to 40 GWh yearly, which is more than all stationary energy storage combined in the world.
Despite the increased production capacity, Tesla still has a backlog of orders for Megapack that dates back approximately two years. This is because the product has become the standard for electric utilities looking to implement energy storage on a massive scale to stabilize their grid or better use renewable energy sources, such as solar power.
With the announcement of a new Megafactory in China, Tesla is now increasing capacity even further:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Our next Megafactory will be in Shanghai 🇨🇳—capable of producing 10k Megapacks per year <a href="https://t.co/KlVGq5gYOg">pic.twitter.com/KlVGq5gYOg</a>

The project is a precise copy of the 10,000 Megapacks per year, or 40 GWh, Megafactory in California. As it did in Lathrop, Tesla also intends to build the plant at a breakneck rate, with work set to begin on it in the upcoming quarter and the commencement of production anticipated in Q2 2024.
The company has said it intends to export the Megapacks made in China worldwide. Thanks to this, Tesla will be able to establish manufacturing centers for essential energy products on both sides of the globe.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is reportedly in China this weekend to finalize the agreement and meet with government representatives. According to speculations, Tesla is also trying to negotiate a contract to put its Full Self-Driving Beta on the market.

Tesla Reveals The Arrival Of A New Megafactory in China

After Nevada state officials&#8217; confirmation, Tesla finally announced their next big factory investment at Giga Nevada today. Elon Musk&#8217;s company will invest over $3.6 billion to build Tesla&#8217;s largest EV battery cell production plant in the world.
Related Article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories">How Many Gigafactories Does Tesla Have?</a>
Giga Nevada, also known as Gigafactory 1, is somewhat of a joint venture between Japanese battery maker Panasonic and Tesla. The initial investment made in 2014. Since then, both parties spent a total of $6.2 billion to create one of the largest manufacturing sites in the United States. According to Tesla, as of today, the Giga Nevada team has successfully produced more than 7.3 billion battery cells, 1.5 million battery packs, 3.6 million drive units, and 1 million energy modules.

The next phase of this investment will cost over $3.6 billion and includes a 100 GWh 4680 cell factory, as well as the first high-volume Tesla Semi factory. Tesla has been manufacturing its in-house 4680 cells at Kato Road, California for quite sometime. This new project aims to build Tesla&#8217;s largest battery cell factory. Tesla Semi production will also be ramped up. The all-electric semi truck is currently in low-volume production at Storey County facility near Giga Nevada.
<h2>Tesla&#8217;s Largest Cell Factory Will Be Based in Nevada, USA</h2>

Giga Nevada is capable of producing 35 GWh of battery cells annually, which is enough to manufacture around 500K electric vehicles per year. But that is way less, not even half of what Tesla needs to put into its EVs. Because of that, LG Chem and CATL, two major battery cell suppliers of Tesla, have been shipping billions of cells to Tesla factories every year.
Texas-based EV maker is finally taking this matter into its own hands. 4680 cell manufacturing process is still in the works before reaching perfection at Kato Road. The dry-coating technique that helps Tesla reduce manufacturing costs and the environmental impact of cell production is yet to be scaled up. But there is enough time to improve before starting mass production at the new factory near Giga Nevada.
The estimated capacity of this factory will be 100 GWh, a huge capacity to produce enough batteries for 2 million electric vehicles. Tesla also has plans to build separate battery cell factories in Texas and Berlin, as well.

Tesla Investing $3.6 Billion to Build 100 GWh 4680 Cell Factory and More

In the United States, electric car batteries are soon overtaking other commodities in importance. With the exception of one business founded by a former Tesla pioneer that is presently exploring cathode and anode processing, mineral processing operations are primarily carried out elsewhere.
J.B. Straubel, currently owns a firm called Redwood Materials that recycles used batteries to make lithium-ion batteries for automobiles. The business recently disclosed a deal with Panasonic to deliver battery hardware valued at billions of dollars, making it the first significant processed cathode contract to be awarded in the United States.
<h2>Redwood Materials Provides the Processed Mineral to Panasonic</h2>
Around one-third of an EV battery pack is made up of cathode material. Redwood Materials will provide the processed mineral to Panasonic manufacturing in Kansas City in 2025. Additionally, a significant partner of Redwood&#8217;s, the American manufacturer Tesla, will get the majority of the battery cells produced in the Kansas City factory.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-27978 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redwood-Materials-1024x512.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="375" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redwood-Materials-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redwood-Materials-300x150.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redwood-Materials-768x384.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Redwood-Materials.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Shortly before Redwood became the biggest lithium battery recycler in the U.S., Straubel&#8217;s time at Tesla enabled him to see the expanding need for the minerals required to build EV batteries. From then, Redwood expanded into the production of anode and cathode materials, a process that is perhaps just as important.
<h2>Redwood Uses 100% Recycled Cobalt and 25–30% Recycled Nickel and Lithium</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-27980 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/redwood-cycle.webp" alt="" width="700" height="476" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/redwood-cycle.webp 700w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/redwood-cycle-300x204.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Although Straubel did not disclose where the remaining resources for the facility will originate from. It is crucial to state that, Straubel did not disclose where the remaining resources for the facility will originate from. The bulk of the cobalt used in EV batteries still comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where mining activities have been criticized for violating human rights. Cobalt is still an expensive and contentious commodity.

According to Redwood Materials, the typical metal atom must travel 50,000 kilometers from the mine before it can be utilized in an EV battery pack. By 2025, the cathodes of the firm will contain 30% recycled metals. (Redwood Resources)
Redwood intends to increase its cathode manufacturing to around 100 Gigawatt hours per year by 2025. It is the equivalent of nearly one million EVs. Cathode materials also have a significant impact on EV prices.
The business has three recycling facilities close to Tesla&#8217;s Gigafactory in Nevada. The need for cathode and anode material processing will only grow in the coming years as EV adoption rises.

America Will Soon Have a Battery Supply Chain

Tesla has announced the beginning of deliveries for the electric truck, which it began producing in October. On December 1, the company will have a special delivery organization at its facility in Nevada.
When Elon Musk announced the beginning of e-truck manufacturing in October, he also included this date in a tweet. This said that Pepsi delivery will begin on December 1st. But other than that, the announcement became silent once more.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
However, in this situation, Tesla appears to be sticking to its original schedule for the e-truck: For its part, the firm has officially announced via tweet the &#8220;Semi Delivery Event,&#8221; which will take place on December 1 in Giga Nevada.

Although Tesla and Panasonic jointly own the Giga Nevada battery facility, the Semi will really go into serial production in the Austin-based Gigafactory Texas. The vehicle assembly line there, however, has not yet begun production. In a brand-new structure next to Reno&#8217;s Gigafactory 1, Tesla builds up a small truck production line with a weekly capacity of five cars.
Approximately 250 Semi trucks would be produced annually. But Tesla has considerably larger ambitions for the vehicle once it moves manufacturing to the Gigafactory in Texas. The EV manufacturer disclosed that it plans to increase Tesla Semi manufacturing to 50,000 cars annually in 2024. However, it appears that the company&#8217;s production goal for 2022 is far more modest, set at 100 Semi electric vehicles.

EV sales continue to grow and have reached a record high in Q2 with a 13% increase. Tesla as a customer of Panasonic is the leader in sales. To meet such high demand for batteries, Panasonic is trying to double down its production. The company published plans in April to invest 400 billion yen (approximately $2.9 billion) in “growth areas” including automotive batteries and supply chain software.
In December, Panasonic Energy of North America announced that a production facility is planned to be built in Reno, Nevada in addition to its existing production at Tesla’s Gigafactory 1 site in Sparks, Nevada.
<h2>$829.2 million incentive package for Panasonic with the APEX Act</h2>

The Japanese giant has another plan to increase its battery production: a new EV battery plant in Kansas. The governor&#8217;s office of Kansas stated in a press release that Panasonic has picked De Soto, Kansas for its new project that will bring up to $4 billion in investments and create up to 8,000 jobs.
In the press release, it is stated that the Attracting Powerful Economic Expansion Act (SB 347), or APEX Act is the motivation for the incentive decision. “When the Kansas Legislature passed the APEX legislation, this was the kind of megaproject we had in mind,” Representative Ron Ryckman of Kansas said.
After the deal between Panasonic and Kansas State is signed, the governor’s office has revealed the details of the $829.2-million incentive package that includes a $500 million investment tax credit that stretches over five years and a $234 million payroll rebate paid over 10 years, among other sweeteners.
The new factory in De Soto is planned to be larger than Panasonic and Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada. Panasonic announced in February that the mass production of lithium-ion batteries for Tesla is planned to begin by 2024.

A $4-billion EV battery plant by Panasonic will be built in Kansas

The first Gigafactory of Tesla in Europe, the fourth one overall, is officially opened today by the company’s CEO Elon Musk. The initial announcement of building a factory in Europe was made two and a half years ago. The <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories/">Giga Berlin</a>-Brandenburg has started officially running today in the German capital.
During the opening ceremony, Tesla has delivered the first 30 Model Ys to the customers. These <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-y-performance/">Model Y</a> compact SUVs are the performance configuration of the vehicle and have a range of 320 miles.
The German government has given Tesla provisional approval to start commercial production at the factory in early March. This has allowed Tesla to produce up to 500.000 EVs per year at the Giga Berlin-Brandenburg. The original plan was to begin production in summer 2021; however, the coronavirus pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and environmental concerns have postponed the opening of the factory.
In February 2020, Tesla had to temporarily stop the construction of the factory due to environmental concerns of the local government. Defending the impact of the factory on the environment, Elon Musk argued that the water use of the factory will be relatively very little. He also stated that the forest cleared before the construction wasn’t natural because the trees had been planted for the company’s cardboard factory.

Although Tesla has aimed to produce up to 5,000 cars and 59 GWh of battery capacity annually at Giga Berlin, Musk has previously stated that increasing production will be a real challenge for the company. To achieve this objective, Tesla already hired over 3,000 workers and the number will go up to 12,000 eventually.
In the opening ceremony, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a speech that acknowledges the importance of Tesla&#8217;s investment in Germany.
&#8220;The opening of the Tesla factory with Elon Musk in Brandenburg is an important sign: Germany is a strong location for industrial investments. This is how we will succeed in becoming carbon neutral and leading the transformation. The future belongs to electromobility.&#8221;
The Giga Berlin-Brandenburg will be a crucial logistical hub for Tesla because the company currently imports vehicles to Europe from its other factories. The Berlin Gigafactory is the fourth factory after Nevada, New York, and Shanghai. The fifth one is currently underway in Texas, where Tesla will also have its headquarters.
