Welcome to today's update! The focus is on the latest developments surrounding the Cybertruck and the expansion of the Tesla factory in Grünheide. We also take a look at the current situation in the automotive industry, which is characterized by bad news for VW and uncertainty about Tesla's expansion.

First, an exciting update on the Cybertruck's charging speed: In the US, a V4 Supercharger has been found to be able to charge the Cybertruck at an impressive 320 kW and beyond. However, this high charging power is not available at all Superchargers and is currently in a testing phase. Traditionally, the Cybertruck's maximum charging speed has been 250 kW, so the new figures are a significant improvement.

This increase in charging speed is probably related to the new 4680 battery cells that are installed in the first Cybertruck models. These cells, which are also produced in the Grünheide factory, enable greater resilience and efficiency. It remains exciting to see how this technology develops and whether similar improvements will also be available for other models such as the Model Y.

Now to the situation in Germany: Tesla plans to further expand the factory in Grünheide, but under certain conditions. The expansion process is ongoing and there are areas in which Tesla has already made progress. However, the realization of further billion-dollar investments depends on market developments.

A key point is the sales market. Despite price reductions and increased production capacity in Grünheide, sales in Germany are falling short of expectations. However, the British market is positive, as it imports vehicles from Grünheide, particularly the Model Y. The Model 3 Highland, on the other hand, continues to be exported from China to Europe.
