Tesla hopes to deliver the first vehicles from its new Berlin factory in December, but volume production will take longer to achieve, Chief Executive Elon Musk said at a festival held at the site on Saturday. He added that he hoped to achieve volume production of batteries at the site by the end of next year. Volume production at the plant would amount to about 5,000, “but hopefully” 10,000 vehicles per week, he added. On the other hand, Tesla is worried that it would not be able to hire enough people to staff its new factory, he said. Musk, who also said that he hoped the plant would in future build Tesla’s planned trucks, added that he hoped staff would come from all over Europe to work there, according to a live stream on social media. “We are a bit worried we would not be able to find enough people. We really need great talent to come here from all over Europe,” he said.
