A few days ago, whispers online claimed that Tesla is planning to open the Gigafactory in Berlin in 2020. Analysts predict that if the US electric vehicle could pull this feat, it would have a massive impact in revolutionizing the auto industry. A new report seems to align with Tesla's timeline proofs that it is ramping up the construction of Tesla Gigafactory in Berlin.
The latest information on the development of Tesla Gigafactory in Berlin came from Twitter user Gf4Tesla. The insider shared the latest video taken at the upcoming European Giga Berlin facility, which looks like gaining steam. The video shows supply trucks and crews knee-deep n pushing for the completion of the first phase of the facility.
Piles of steel loaded on a trailer are shown in the latest video along with an eighteen-wheeler truck that is seemingly relentless in their respective task. The video also highlights the high level of activities taking place in the Giga Berlin facility. These activities are related to the foundation of the upcoming automotive plant.

It was in the late part of May 2020 when Tesla of the preliminary approval to commence the foundational work of the Giga Berlin plant. The US electric vehicle maker received the approval of the State Environmental Agency that allowed the contracted team to begin working on the foundation of the upcoming facility. The crews worked on laying of gravel roads on the site for the smooth travel of construction vehicles.
Tesla then launched a series of load tests to assess the structural integrity of the ground. Bloomberg recently reported that the US electric vehicle maker changed its proposal for the Giga Berlin manufacturing plant. The changes would please not only environmentalists but also ensure that the production would be on time.
Bloomberg cited a local government official as the source of its information. Meanwhile, Business Insider reported that the Giga Berlin factory might be finished faster than the Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, China. The report claimed that Tesla is building new factories at a pace that is twice faster than other carmakers. Volvo took a couple of years to begin moving vehicles off the lines in its South Carolina plant.
Tesla is not only revolutionizing the automobile industry but also the manufacturing process. The US electric vehicle maker learns from its experiences and applies these learning moving forward. It develops machines that create machines to speed up smoothly and simplify the entire process.
Automobile factories are not distinct, and the changes that Tesla is currently spearheading will sooner or later have implications in every industry. This includes airplane manufacturing and shipbuilding, to name a few. The standardization of factory construction by the electric vehicle maker underlines its capability to build each one faster and cheaper than the previous Thus, analysts predict a possible going online of the Giga Berlin in 2020.
