Tesla: Can Grünheide still stop Elon Musk's larger work? 9,000 citizens vote. Tesla wants to expand its current 300-hectare factory by an additional 170 hectares from the first half of 2024.
After the expansion, 22,500 employees will be able to produce one million vehicles there. This would make GrüNheide the largest car factory in Europe and about the same size as Tesla's Chinese factory currently. The main reason for the expansion is that Tesla is reaching its capacity limits.
