According to foreign media reports, US electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla confirmed that its super factory in Berlin, Germany, has started producing the first batch of newly designed new Model Y on January 14, 2025, but has not yet begun receiving orders.
This means that Europeans will soon be able to order the new Model Y, and outstanding orders will be automatically converted to new models.
, Reported that Tesla used the holidays to upgrade the Berlin superfactory to prepare for production of the new Model Y.
Tesla has also completed production testing in recent weeks.
Given that orders for the new Model Y were only received after mass production of the new Model Y at Tesla’s Shanghai Super Factory for about two weeks, sales of the new Model Y in Europe are expected to begin at the end of January 2025.
So far, Tesla’s European website still lists the old Model Y.
In Germany, the current price of the Tesla Model Y ranges from 44,990 euros to 54,990 euros.
The new Model Y is expected to be slightly more expensive.
In 2024, Tesla’s sales in Germany will drop 41% year-on-year, and sales in Europe will drop 10% year-on-year.
Since Tesla’s Model Y accounts for most of the company’s market share in Europe, the new Model Y is expected to help Tesla increase its sales in Europe.
, Last week, Tesla launched the new Model Y in China and began receiving orders from China and several other markets, where Tesla’s Shanghai superfactory is supplying products.
It is reported that this is the first major update of the Tesla Model Y since its debut in 2020.

” In 2024, Tesla delivered 480,309 Model Y units in China, a year-on-year increase of more than 5%, ranking first in passenger car sales in China.
It is unclear when Tesla’s plants in Texas and Fremont will begin producing the new Tesla Model Y.
Considering that production of the new Tesla Model Y will take two weeks, localized production of the model in the United States may begin at the end of January 2025, and ordering will start in early February 2025.
The overall design of the new European and U.S. -made Tesla Model Y will not change, but minor technical changes may occur.
For example, Tesla uses different battery packs in other markets, and this can also affect vehicle performance.
