Tesla recently released a captivating fly-through video showcasing its Giga Berlin factory in Germany. This three-and-a-half-minute drone footage offers a comprehensive look inside the sprawling facility, where the Tesla Model Y and its battery cells have been produced since the factory’s opening two years ago.
The video reveals the advanced technology employed throughout the production process, alongside the dedicated team of human workers contributing to the creation of the Model Y crossover SUV. Viewers witness various stages, from casting and stamping to plastic molding, painting, and final assembly. The Model Y gradually takes shape throughout the video, culminating in a glimpse of the finished product.
The drone footage provides dynamic perspectives of the factory, notably a sequence at 1:08 where it deftly navigates tight spaces around robotic arms and numerous Model Ys on the bustling production line.
This video release followed a week-long power outage at Giga Berlin caused by a suspected arson attack on a nearby electrical substation, potentially linked to environmental protests against Tesla’s expansion plans. Tesla CEO Elon Musk visited the factory shortly after the incident to assess the situation and support the workforce.
Representing a $5 billion investment, Giga Berlin stands as Tesla’s first European manufacturing site and is touted by the company as its “most advanced, sustainable, and efficient facility yet.”
The video effectively showcases the complexity and scale of Model Y production at Giga Berlin, highlighting Tesla’s commitment to cutting-edge manufacturing technology. The footage provides a compelling insight into the journey of the Model Y, from raw materials to finished vehicle.
