Tesla has been spotted gathering hundreds of Model Y vehicles outside of Gigafactory Berlin \u2013 indicating that production is advancing.<\/p>\n

However, the regulatory approval to officially start production for customer deliveries is still uncertain.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n

Gigafactory Berlin, a critical new factory for Tesla\u2019s plans to expand in Europe and improve its manufacturing and distribution efficiency, has been in limbo for months.<\/p>\n

The automaker has yet to secure the needed environmental permit to start producing vehicles for customer deliveries.<\/p>\n

Last month, Tesla confirmed that it built the first few Model Ys at Gigafactory Berlin at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

The automaker also received approval to build 2,000 Model Y bodies at Gigafactory Berlin ahead of the final approval<\/a> by the state of Brandenburg.<\/p>\n

Tesla said it needed to conduct more tests of its production process.<\/p>\n

Those tests seem to be working as Tesla has now been spotted rolling out hundreds of Model Y vehicles from Gigafactory Berlin in a new drone flyover of the plant:<\/p>\n
