Tesla plans to start battery cell production in Germany by mid-2027

The Grünheide gigafactory is set to add 4680 cells to its Model Y lineup, backed by nearly €1 billion and more than 1,500 planned hires Tesla ’s plant in Grünheide, just outside Berlin, is set to begin making its own battery cells in the middle of next year. The target is mid-2027, and the cell in question is Tesla’s 4680-format cylindrical design. The plan calls for scaling cell output to as much as 18 GWh per year. A gigawatt-hour measures how much energy a battery can store, so this is a measure of storage built, not electricity used.

Cumulative investment in Grünheide’s battery cell production is approaching €1 billion .
