There is a great benefit for Germany to approve Giga Berlin in 2021, even if it's the 11th hour of December 31st. "Just for the optics in the future, approval in 2021 by the German authorities should be somewhat of a priority," wrote Gus Levy.
They can then always state that the factory was started in 2020 and approved by 2021. Mr. Paul commented and wrote this delayed Giga Berlin launch is very frustrating. It will be fascinating to compare the productivity and quality of Tesla's 4 main gigafactories next year when they are up and running.
Mr. Paul says my gut feeling is that in 2022 Tesla Giga Shanghai will be running super smooth and will excel. While at Giga Texas the employees will ramp up production fast with that premiere factory and footprint.
Will Giga Berlin show the wait was worthwhile or in a year from now will Berlin be a clear 3rd or worse still a bad 4th Gigafactory behind Freemont?
