The Type 4680 batteries for Tesla's electric cars will not be made in a plant in Germany. This was reported by the Reuters news agency, which refers to a spokesman for the Brandenburg Ministry of the Economy.

this is what we know
Tesla has postponed the start of series production of the Type 4680 battery in Germany several times. It is known that the company will continue to produce traction battery components in Germany, but assembly will take place in the United States. This is due to lower production costs thanks to federal subsidies.

Elon Musk's company has not yet commented on the words of the German official. It should be noted that Tesla initially wanted to deploy battery production with a total capacity of 50 GWh in Germany.

In the United States, two Tesla facilities in California and Texas are producing 4680-type batteries. In addition, the California factory can almost fully meet US demand. In the future, battery cell production will start at a new plant in Nevada. The company will invest 3,600 million dollars.
