Tesla originally wanted to start production of the Model Y in Grünheide in Berlin in July, but the completion of the first European plant is delayed. The Environment Agency is currently checking whether Tesla has installed tanks on its construction site without the appropriate permit. The start of deliveries of the Model Y in Europe was announced for the third quarter.
The mini-SUV is a slightly larger version of Tesla’s first mass-market car, Model 3. In the second quarter, the company delivered a good 199,000 models 3 and Y vehicles, while the larger and more expensive Model S and Model X only made just under 2000 deliveries .
