Look back 10 years and think how far the EV world has come. Best selling vehicle globally being an EV seemed like the impossible dream back then. Love seeing more and more EVs hitting the market. Tesla will be the one noted for getting EVs from hobby or niche vehicle to product used by the masses. It will take many companies to get the world changed over and it will be interesting to see who helps and who fights it.

This factory has been hidden from Tesla watchers since we have been following Giga Texas from the time it was open sand mines ! But Giga Berlin has been a mystery, so thank you for taking us with you for that guided tour.
That was amazing! I like Roland as a presenter, he is funny, speaks English extremely well and comes across as a really intelligent guy. Hope we see more of him.
Whatever you think about Tesla the fact is that they have gone from a tech company that makes cars to a car company that has revolutionised how we make cars. Roland's comparison with Henry Ford bringing us the production line is very apt. We already have 3d printed vehicles making their debut and now we have die cast cars. Once upon a time that used to mean matchbox cars with wobbly wheels and poor paint jobs. Now you can stamp out quality cars for a fraction of the cost. Despite the naysayers, progress just keeps on coming.
Great addition to the team, Roland has a great attitude and the "Congratulations" to the married EV couple made me lol. But Roland, dear man, please wear looser trouser, my twig and berries were feeling the pain from 8 thousand miles away.

Towards the end when the cars leave the inspection “lights” area I can see their trim is not black. Are the cars not finished yet, or is there a different than black trim available?
the size of the factory is NOT the reason they’re called Giga Factories… it’s because the first Giga Nevada was meant to be a factory that produces over 1GWh of battery capacity

I can’t remember verbatim, but they’re able to repair all of the most common kind of damage, ordinarily repairable with standard construction, and do so at a significantly lower cost. Given that they also provide insurance in the USA, it’s in their interest to make repairability a priority.
This writer just read a byline on EV repairs/Tesla. Most insurance companies write off Tesla espc. and other EVs for even minor repairs. It costs too much to fix in relation to the value of the car and the lost time to the customer. The Rivian truck is a fine example. The ENTIRE bed and up to the roof is ALL one piece.

Hey Tameling; good job but gotta say one thing. In the future consider what questions to ask to lead the person you are interviewing instead of explaining things they all about in front of them. Otherwise explain those things at another locatin and then cut it in. Would be so much better without an interviewee waiting. It was a bit awkward :)
