It appears that Tesla Giga Berlin is pushing its Model Y production ramp to a notable degree. As per recent reports, the facility is reportedly aiming to achieve a weekly Model Y production of 2,000 units per week, a substantial milestone considering that the factory is only a few months old.
Gigafactory Berlin is an important component of Tesla’s strategy in Europe. The facility is tasked with producing the Model Y, an all-electric crossover that CEO Elon Musk believes will eventually become the world’s best-selling vehicle, first by revenue and later on, by volume as well. With these ambitious goals in mind, Giga Berlin has to ramp up its Model Y production quickly.
A recent report from industry publication TeslaMag.de has suggested that Tesla is now aiming to achieve a production rate of 2,000 Model Y per week sometime next month. If the publication’s information proves accurate, then Giga Berlin would be able to double its weekly output in just a few months. The facility, after all, was only able to produce 1,000 Model Y per week in mid-June.
A target of 2,000 Model Y per week for September may not be too farfetched, especially considering that Tesla has implemented a number of initiatives to improve Giga Berlin’s output. In July, for example, the facility underwent upgrades that were designed to improve its vehicle production. These upgrades could very well pave the way for the facility’s aggressive ramp.
Reports in late July suggested that starting October 2022, Giga Berlin could be producing about 3,000 Model Y per week, or about 600 units per day on a five-day workweek. Tesla Germany was reportedly looking to raise its output to 1,500 Model Y per week at the time as well.
Giga Berlin is still in its initial stages, so it still has some ways to go. Giga Shanghai, a more mature Tesla factory, was reported to be targeting an output of 3,000 vehicles per day. Expectations are high that Giga Shanghai will still increase its output even more, especially as Tesla builds another vehicle production site nearby. Giga Berlin is no slouch, however, with Tesla SVP of Powertrain and Energy Engineering Drew Baglino stating during the Q2 2022 earnings call that the German factory could achieve an output of 5,000 Model Y per week by the end of the year.

In 2018, CEO Elon Musk said he was hoping to build a full-scale 50s era diner that served as a drive-in movie theater. Seven years later, it has officially come to life, and in typical Tesla fashion, it opened at a very appropriate time of day. We heard of people waiting as many as 13 hours for the site to open.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink posts massive update with new milestone
This is the first time Neuralink has successfully implanted two patients in a single day.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink has posted a massive update with a new milestone that puts the company’s progress into perspective. Over the past few years, we have seen tremendous strides in Neuralink’s capabilities.
Now, the company has completed a new first, bringing more hope to the future of this revolutionary technology.
Neuralink’s third brain chip patient shares first video edited with BCI
Neuralink revealed in an update on Monday morning that it has officially completed two implants in a single day, with Patients 8 and 9 both receiving devices over the past weekend.
“Both participants are recovering well and in great spirits,” the company said in the short update. It did not disclose which day the surgeries were completed, but it did state explicitly that they both occurred on the same day:
We successfully completed both P8 and P9 this weekend, our first time performing two surgeries in one day. Both participants are recovering well and in great spirits. We are looking forward to supporting them on their Neuralink journey.
— Neuralink (@neuralink) July 21, 2025
Musk said that Neuralink’s capabilities could do “life-changing good for ultimately millions, maybe billions, of people.” Right now, it is being used to help combat life-altering diseases, such as ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, as well as cervical spinal cord injuries.
Eventually, Neuralink could resolve things like anxiety, depression, and blindness, among many other ailments.
Its Link device also received FDA recognition for speech restoration earlier this year, marking a significant bit of progress in the program as it explores ways to cure ailments of various natures.

Elon Musk gives key update on plans for Tesla Diner outside of LA
More Tesla Supercharger Diners are on the way, Elon Musk says, as long as the initial one is successful.

Elon Musk has given a key update on its plans for the Tesla Supercharger Diner, as the first location in Los Angeles is set to open today, July 21.
The idea for the Supercharger Diner, which resembles a 50s-style eatery with elements of futuristic technology, is seven years in the making. Many wondered whether Tesla would expand its idea for a Supercharger restaurant outside of LA, and now we have an answer directly from Musk.
Elon Musk confirms awesome new features at Tesla Diner Supercharger
The Tesla CEO said that the company will establish these types of experiences “in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.”
If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, @Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.
An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment, all while Supercharging! https://t.co/zmbv6GfqKf
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 21, 2025
The Supercharger Diner has plenty of ways to draw in customers, and although the food and merchandise sold at the location will not be a major contributor to Tesla’s balance sheet, where investors want to see it, it could pay off in other ways.
The Diner is not exclusive to Tesla owners, so those who drive gas cars can still stop in for a burger, fries, and a shake while roaming around Los Angeles. The features of the Diner, however, do require a Tesla vehicle.
In-car ordering and movie screens syncing to the center touchscreen are two things that Tesla owners will enjoy that other drivers will not. These might be trivial, but the experience on its own could be a way that some consider buying a Tesla.
It might sound crazy that a singular diner experience would flip someone to buy a car, but it’s not the most outlandish thing we’ve ever come across.
The question is where Tesla will plan to build these Supercharger Diners. Musk has already indicated that Starbase, Texas, will be one location, which fits with one of his other companies, SpaceX.
Austin could be an ideal location, but New York, Miami, Washington D.C., Boston, and plenty of other popular metro areas within the U.S. could see their own diners in the coming years.
