Elektromobilität: Tesla fehlen 1000 Autos pro Woche – Grünheide muss Sonderschichten fahren
In Brandenburg sollen ab Oktober wesentlich mehr Elektroautos vom Band rollen. Die Mitarbeiter müssen im September Extraschichten leisten, doch zeichnet sich ab, dass selbst das nicht reichen wird.
Tesla aims to produce 7500 vehicles per week at its Grünheide plant starting mid-October, but currently falls short of that target with only 6500 vehicles. To bridge this gap, the company has committed some employees to mandatory overtime. The "Giga Berlin Leadership Team" informed the workforce of three special shift dates in September 2026: Friday, September 18th, night shift; Saturday, September 19th, morning shift; and Friday, September 25th, night shift.
Each shift group—Blue, Red, and Silver—must participate once. The entire vehicle production, along with all support functions, is affected. Drive Unit, Battery, and Cell are exempt from these overtime measures.
Workshop leader André Thierig had already requested overtime for the battery cell production in June during a high-speed phase. However, this is not enough to meet the new goal set by Tesla itself. Thierig announced in June during a works meeting that the production cycle time would be reduced from around 80 seconds to 45 seconds per vehicle within a production station. The 45-second cycle time has been largely achieved, but the production volume remains the issue.
