Gigafest Berlin on the ground [gallery]

Editor’s Note: This is a guest article by David Reich (Twitter) from the Tesla Welt Podcast.

Ich bin ein Berliner. These are the famous words with which John F. Kennedy won the hearts of the Berlin population in 1963. Tesla has the same goal. Hearts need to be won in Germany. The stakes are high. Like a gigantesque alien spaceship, the new Gigafactory emerged from the ground in an incredibly short amount of time, for German standards.
