Tesla Boosts German Factory Production Amid Rising Sales
Gruenheide, Germany – September 14, 2025, 12:52 PM – Tesla plans to increase production at its German factory in Gruenheide for the remainder of the year, driven by strong sales figures, factory director André Thierig told the DPA news agency on Sunday.
“We currently have very good sales figures and have thus revised our production plans up for the third and fourth quarters,” Thierig stated.
The proclamation comes despite a challenging German market for Tesla,where competition from Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers is intensifying. some analysts suggest Elon Musk’s public profile and political commentary may also be impacting demand within the country.
Recent sales data from the KBA road transport agency indicates a downturn in the German market: July sales more than halved year-over-year, reaching 1,110 vehicles. Total sales from January to July fell by 57.8%.
However, Thierig indicated the positive sales trend extends beyond Germany, noting the Gruenheide factory supplies over 30 international markets.”We provide much more than 30 markets and we see a positive trend,” he said.
The Gruenheide facility, Tesla’s first European “Gigafactory,” has been pivotal in the company’s expansion across the continent.
