Construction defects slow down the Tesla plant near Berlin

Building a house is considered boring – not only for those who are engaged in construction, but also for the future homeowner. The craftsmen are late, then the material is lost, the drilling is sunk or the wrong door handles are installed. The construction will be more expensive anyway and longer than planned. Then she finally sits in the finished house – it’s raining across the roof.

Tesla boss Elon Musk, 50, is currently facing something similar: A new Tesla plant in Grünheide near Berlin, Germany has been completed – after some delay. In the future, up to 500,000 Model Y will be rolled off the assembly line at the electricity leader’s first European plant. So far, 2,000 body wraps have already been manufactured as a prep for setting up production lines. Some of these cars have already been spotted as complete cars on European roads. However, defects in the buildings slow down the work.
