We are used to the fact that customers have to go to unusual places for Tesla deliveries. To efficiently hand out its electric cars, the company continues to set up new locations in the short term, where buyers get little more than containers and parking lots full of waiting vehicles. Tesla also had last week for this year Delivery of the Model Y on the premises of its German Gigafactory announced. And in fact, the first customers have already received their electric cars produced there.

First model raised at Y Gruenheide

A separate area was created with office containers left of center in the large parking area south of the Tesla factory. In front of it was a Model Y with flashy paintwork or foiling, with about 100 waiting in neat rows in the rest area, almost all in white and some in black (see photo above).

The Model Y itself is said to be in pristine condition.
