A year ago hardly anyone outside Brandenburg or Berlin knew where Grünheide was.
Or that there is a place called Erkner.
Or what to expect when you take the “Freienbrink” motorway exit on the A10 federal motorway.
Today the world knows.
When Tesla boss Elon Musk announced on November 11, 2019 that he would build the electric car manufacturer's fourth car factory a few kilometers east of Berlin, the spotlights of the global public turned on the area - on 90 hectares of pine forest between the regional train station “Fangschleuse” in the north and logistics halls in the south.
The Gigafactory 4 is now being built there.
And, typically Musk, it should be quick.
