Tesla hits 3,000 cars a week in Berlin, Austin later than planned
Tesla’s German plant produced 3,000 cars last week for the first time, the carmaker tweeted late on Sunday – but the milestone was reached over two months later than planned in both Berlin and Austin, Texas, according to a memo seen by Reuters. The memo, which Reuters reported on in September, projected 3,000 units in weekly output from the Gruenheide plant near Berlin in the first week of October and from Tesla’s plant in Austin, Texas, in the first week of November. Yet it took until last week for Tesla to post celebratory pictures on Twitter stating it had reached that target in both locations – last Thursday for Austin, and Sunday for Berlin.
