Tesla is pushing the accelerator on its Berlin-area factory, targeting a significant production boost that would see its Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg churning out 7,500 Model Y vehicles per week by October 2026. That’s a 20% increase from recent output levels, and it comes with a hiring spree that signals the company isn’t just tweaking the dials, it’s expanding the whole operation.
The Grünheide facility, which has historically operated below its installed capacity of over 375,000 Model Y units annually, appears to be entering a new phase. Tesla plans to supply more than 30 markets from the German plant.
The production math
Tesla ramped production at the Berlin factory to roughly 6,200 vehicles per week in July 2026. The new target of 7,500 weekly units by October represents another meaningful step up.
Tesla’s German subsidiary released its 2025 annual report in mid-July 2026, and the document reportedly framed the production increase as a response to improving demand and profitability.
