"The Invasion of Europe": how the first Tesla factory in the Netherlands works

Entrepreneur and public favorite, the prototype of Iron Man in real life, Elon Musk continues to capture the car market — and for this he has to invest a lot of money in expanding production.

Elegance plays a role at every stage of production when it comes to Tesla. Even the factories for the production of cars are full of style.

With the taste inherent in the company, Musk's brainchild crossed the Atlantic Ocean and is now deploying its facilities in Europe. The first plant was built in the Netherlands, near the city of Tilburg, and recently the first images of this impressive building began to be published online.

Tesla has long been trying to combine the production of its electric vehicles with the consumption of "clean" energy using solar panels. With the new plant near Tilburg, the company may even be able to surpass the necessary levels of electricity production — after all, the roof area of 43 thousand square meters is closely packed with batteries.

The capacity of such a solar power plant overhead — 3 MW — is enough to supply up to 3 thousand residential buildings with all the necessary energy.

This is how the project of a possible plant in Finland looks like

The new plant is engaged in the final assembly, and there is even a test track inside so that each car is checked before being sent to the owner: as you know, Tesla is the only carmaker that produces its cars strictly by pre-order.

Machines from the Tilburg factory are sent to the European market — including Belgium, France, Germany and, in fact, Holland.

And here's how the new plant looks from the inside:

Elon Musk also reported that he plans to cover the entire surface of the famous Gigafactory in Nevada with solar panels — the largest production of the company to date. In this case, the coverage capacity can reach 70 MW.

It will look impressive:
