Tesla Achievement: Construction of 100,000 Revamped Model Ys at Giga Berlin Factory
Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin, the company's facility in Germany, has achieved a significant milestone in the production of its best-selling vehicle worldwide, the Model Y. The factory, which began production of the refreshed Model Y around mid-January 2025, has produced 100,000 units in just six months.
André Thierig, Senior Director of Manufacturing at Gigafactory Berlin, commented on the milestone, "Reaching this production milestone in such a short timeframe is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. We are proud to contribute to Tesla's global strategy and to serve the growing demand for electric vehicles in Europe."
The refreshed Model Y includes design tweaks, interior upgrades, and software improvements, aimed at keeping it competitive in the fast-growing electric SUV segment. The production of the updated Model Y at Gigafactory Berlin underscores Tesla's ability to ramp up European operations quickly.
Tesla's Fremont Factory in California has built 1 million Model Y units, making the vehicle the automaker's best-selling vehicle worldwide. With the production of 100,000 refreshed Model Y vehicles at Gigafactory Berlin, Tesla is demonstrating its commitment to balancing production between its global factories to meet the demand for its popular EV.
The 100,000th Model Y, known as "Juniper," was built at Gigafactory Berlin. The factory has been steadily ramping up output to meet demand for the Model Y across Europe, suggesting that Tesla is on track to maintain the Model Y's spot as the world's most popular electric vehicle.
As of now, Tesla has produced 6 million vehicles globally, with the Model Y contributing significantly to that number. The production of the updated Model Y at Gigafactory Berlin marks a new phase for Tesla's best-selling vehicle worldwide, and for Tesla's European operations. The refreshed Model Y is set to continue its success in the ever-growing electric vehicle market.
