Tesla Says Model Y Production May Start At German Gigafactory By The Middle Of THIS Year

With Model Y, Tesla has taken a completely different approach to rolling out the vehicle in new markets.

Previously, the automaker would start production of a new vehicle at the Fremont factory, start deliveries in North America, and expand to other markets once production had ramped up at the factory.

But for Model Y, Tesla plans to only launch the electric SUV in Europe and Asia when it achieves local production.
