Tesla Ramps Grünheide to Full Capacity, Hiring Up to 3,500 Workers

TSLA

Tesla is aggressively scaling its German Gigafactory in Grünheide, with hiring targets ranging from 1,000 to 3,500 new employees across sources, and the plant expected to hit full production capacity by autumn. The expansion signals a meaningful demand-driven push in Europe, Tesla's second-largest market. Meanwhile, the stock trades near $373 in a technical downtrend despite the operational momentum, and carries a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 338x.

Why it matters

A Grünheide ramp to full capacity would materially lift Tesla's European delivery volumes, which directly feeds into quarterly revenue and gross margin figures — the two metrics markets watch most closely. However, at 338x trailing earnings, Tesla is already priced for extraordinary execution, meaning any production shortfall could hit the stock hard. The lawsuit from a Texas fatality adds a small but real tail risk around Autopilot liability.

Watch next

Tesla Q2 2025 earnings call (expected late July): production and delivery numbers from Grünheide will be front and center. Next Tesla global delivery report: early July. Any NHTSA or regulatory response to the Texas Autopilot lawsuit.
