Beijing, February 22 (Xinhua) Tesla has suspended plans to produce complete batteries in Brandenburg and completed some production steps in the United States, where tax incentives are more favorable, the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Brandenburg said on Tuesday.

Model Y Tesla, produced by Tesla's German factory, originally planned to produce complete batteries at the Greenhead plant in Germany, with a peak capacity of more than 50 gigawatt hours per year. But the company changed its policy as the Biden administration offered tax breaks and consumer discounts to electric carmakers that buy batteries in the United States.

"Tesla has begun to produce battery systems in Greenhead and is preparing to produce battery core components," Brandenburg's Ministry of Economics said in a statement. now, the company has given priority to arranging further production steps in the United States, where tax breaks make business conditions more favourable. "

Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) said in March 2022 that the German battery plant would reach mass production by the end of 2023, but that the plant and car production base would achieve their production target of 3000 vehicles a week later than planned. In 2020, Musk said that the German superfactory would become the world's largest battery factory.

Today, Tesla has struggled to increase production of 4680 battery cores at factories in Fremont, Calif., and Austin, Texas. Experts believe this is because the company is having trouble expanding the use of unproven new technologies. At the end of January, Tesla announced that it would invest more than $3.6 billion to expand its Nevada superfactory facility and build two new plants, one for mass production of long-delayed Semi electric trucks and the other for the production of new 4680 battery cores.

Tesla had no comment.
