Special Sneak Peek inside Tesla's German Gigafactory!

Welcome to the team Roland, you did a great job of showing us around the giga factory.

I love how Roland presented this visit to Tesla Berlin. We need to see him on more videos!! Well informed and funny!

[@kevtheobald]

Look back 10 years and think how far the EV world has come. Best selling vehicle globally being an EV seemed like the impossible dream back then. Love seeing more and more EVs hitting the market. Tesla will be the one noted for getting EVs from hobby or niche vehicle to product used by the masses. It will take many companies to get the world changed over and it will be interesting to see who helps and who fights it.

[@markplott4820]

Ummmm, imagine for a moment IF the Electric car was Adopted in 1900's rather than in 2009.

[@t1n4444]

@@kevtheobald Be serious! EVs sales across planet are down. To rpt, the battery EV has had its day. What you might be confused about is that hybrid EVs remain popular. Which rather defeats the efforts of the "stop burning stuff" cohorts which is a great shame without a doubt. There again motor manufacturers build what they believe and hope will sell so who can blame their policy and decision makers? Why not research the recent press releases from Stellantis, bound to cheer up yourself and the rest of the battery huggers no end. In esse Stellantis will bin any marque they feel is not turning a profit. However, as might be expected, there's disquiet among some governments as to which national "iconic" marques might be binned. This is where the seemingly sensible financial aspects are somewhat clouded by political interests. Whether this stance by Stellantis is to crowbar out monetary "rescue packages" remains to be seen. Interestingly nations such as France are happy to support foreign car makers such as Toyota who are providing hydrogen powered vehicles for the Paris Olympics. Obviously this has a political significance as in demonstrating France's desire to host as low a carbon footprint (groan) Olympics as possible. And, before posters chime in with the green hydrogen thing, the Olympics authorities are keen to point out that all the hydrogen fuel used during the Olympics will be certifiably green. What happens after the Olympics is anyone's guess.

Brilliant! And GigaBerlin are now producing a right-hand drive version for Britain and Ireland...

Ik heb het genoegen ook enkele keren gehad om een autofabriek te bezoeken. Ik vond het geweldig maar ook overweldigend. Er gaat zoveel denkwerk aan vooraf om een auto te bouwen, dat het nauwelijks te bevatten is. Ook complimenten voor de goede beheersing van de engelse taal.

This factory has been hidden from Tesla watchers since we have been following Giga Texas from the time it was open sand mines ! But Giga Berlin has been a mystery, so thank you for taking us with you for that guided tour.

[@Pottery4Life]

Welcome, Roland. A wonderful introductory episode. Thank you for the tour of the factory.

[@RWBHere]

That was more like 80 seconds between cars. They waited for you! But the 45 seconds average speed is remarkable. Thanks, Roland. 🙂👍

[@jesperbraagaardrasmussen3659]

They probably have more than one delivery tunnel.

[@HenryLoenwind]

45 seconds is the design speed of the line. The factory hasn't yet ramped up to that speed, partially because the stamping section isn't completely finished.
