After receiving final environmental approval for producing 500,000 new vehicles per year last Friday, Tesla quickly entered a “crazy recruitment” mode on Sunday, tweeting out a link to over 300 job vacancies on Twitter, including positions in HR, supply chain, information technology, construction, and environmental health.
As the super factory located in Grünheide, Brandenburg, near Berlin, gradually enters into regular operations, it is also expected to attract a number of supply chain companies to establish factories locally.
However, there are also concerns. First, despite obtaining final environmental approval, there are still auxiliary documents that need to be submitted for approval, and there are still some unknown variables. Secondly, there is not enough local labor force near the German super factory, which may make it difficult for the Tesla Germany factory to achieve its goal of producing 500,000 vehicles per year for a long time.
In 2019, Tesla announced its plan to build a super factory in Berlin, and began construction a year later. However, during the construction process, it was repeatedly obstructed by environmentalists and has yet to officially start mass production. In contrast, the Tesla Shanghai factory took less than a year from ground-breaking to production.
