In Germany, multiple outlets including Süddeutsche Zeitung, n‑tv, Tagesschau.de, Der Spiegel, Zeit, Handelsblatt, and Economx report that Tesla’s Gigafactory in Grünheide is set for a major ramp‑up. The company plans to lift weekly production toward seven thousand five hundred vehicles, targeting around three hundred seventy‑five thousand units annually, while expanding battery cell manufacturing and adding roughly three and a half thousand new jobs. Tesla aims to concentrate the entire value chain, from cell production to finished cars, at the site, which it calls unique in Europe.

Tesla trades in a tight consolidation just under 400 dollars after recent strength, while a surge of Elon Musk–related headlines reshapes the risk landscape for shareholders. SpaceX’s massive IPO sits at the center of this story: The Motley Fool argues its trillion‑plus valuation makes Tesla’s historical millionaire‑maker path hard to repeat for new SpaceX investors, and Jeremy Grantham warns via Finanzen.net that SpaceX will likely suffer a major valuation collapse, viewing much of its pricing as speculative AI and deep‑space hype.
