Overview

• Works manager André Thierig says production planning for the next two quarters has been revised upward due to a “very good” order situation.
• He reports a positive trend across the site’s 30-plus destination markets, underscoring reliance on exports beyond Germany.
• KBA data show about 1,400 Tesla registrations in Germany in August, nearly 40% fewer than a year earlier, even as overall EV registrations increased.
• Planned on-site expansion with new buildings is on hold because of market conditions, though a freight-yard extension remains in the plans.
• Thierig urges a clear pro‑EV signal from the federal government as debate over the EU’s 2035 combustion‑engine phase‑out resurfaces, and environmental groups continue to challenge the plant’s location in a water‑protection area.
