More production already in 2025
Tesla plans to increase production at its German factory, near Berlin, in 2026, despite the difficult market situation in Germany. Production already grew as planned every quarter last year, factory director André Thierig said in an interview with the German press agency dpa.
“We therefore look forward to the new year with optimism and expect a further increase,” he said. According to the company, its approximately 11,000 employees produce around 5,000 vehicles per week, which amounts to approximately 250,000 vehicles per year.
“We have been able to secure jobs here and were never affected by production stops or layoffs like other industrial locations in Germany,” said Thierig. The factory was even expanded in 2025. Canada has also been added as a market. For Canadians, it is interesting to buy German-made Teslas because they then do not suffer from the higher US import duties.
