Today I drove past Gigafactory Berlin. Itās going up surprisingly quickly, and itās HUGE. I mean, know that itās called Gigafactory for a reason, but even in Berlin/Brandenburg, which has some famously large buildings this one stands out.
And the speed they are building is pretty crazy. I looked it up and yup, it isnāt just in my head.

āTesla has reportedly adopted a rather unique permit process for Giga Berlin. Instead of doing all permits at once like in traditional German construction projects, Tesla is reportedly using a system where many permits are requested in small steps, starting with a rough first design and moving on from there. This allows the company to work fast, while providing itself with enough space to adjust if it needs to. Voigt noted that this approach shows Teslaās Silicon Valley roots, with the company pretty much building Giga Berlin like a software program.ā
