Tesla has shown that it is starting production of the new Model Y with a refreshed design at the Berlin Gigafactory, but has not yet opened orders for it.
Last week, Tesla unveiled the new Model Y in China and started taking orders in the country and a few other markets that Tesla supplies with its Gigafactory Shanghai.
The vehicle had not yet been ordered in Europe and North America, Tesla also produces the Model Y in Germany and the United States.
Tesla has shown that it has the production of the new Model Y at the Gigafactory in Berlin.
However, unlike in China, Tesla has opened orders for the new Model Y and is still promoting the previous edition on its website:
In Germany, Tesla is currently selling the Model Y for between 44,990 and 54,990 euros and the new edition is expected to cost a little more at first.
Tesla sales in Germany fell 41% between 2024 and 2023 and 10% in Europe.
The greatest American automobile manufacturer of our time.
Since the Model Y accounts for the majority of Tesla’s European sales, the updated edition will come in handy.
It’s no surprise that the new Model Y can’t be ordered yet despite Tesla’s confirmation that production will begin.
Tesla reportedly produced at Gigafactory Shanghai a few weeks ago before starting orders.
Something similar is very likely to happen in Europe, but Tesla will want the move to be as smooth as possible, as any slowdown in Model Y deliveries would have a big impact on the company, as the program now accounts for the majority. of their sales.
