BERLIN :Tesla is planning sweeping changes to its factory near Berlin, including extensions to its battery cell production, indicating ramp-up plans remain underway despite a recent shift in focus to scaling up in the United States.
The documents said Tesla will produce lithium-ion cells for use in electric cars and energy storage systems in various locations around the globe, with the expansion to include cell testing, new areas for mixing materials, and"all other processes and components for the production of anodes and cathodes."
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether cell production in Germany had advanced since then. It currently produces around 5,000 cars a week in Grunheide and has not provided a timeline for ramping up output.
