Read the latest Tesla news here. At TorqueNews we cover Tesla’s automotive and financial news, and do reviews so that you can make the best decision when it comes to buying your next car, or if you’re just in the mood to learn a little about Tesla.

Tesla is one of the most well known names in the modern day automotive industry. It is the leading automotive manufacturer for battery powered cars. Yes, that means zero gasoline usage. It is without question that the evil genius behind this company, Elon Musk, has done anything except the abnormal. Their brand released their first car in 2008 and today in 2020 it is one of the most popular and practical options you can get on the market. Tesla’s have entered the market from the top down as they are quickly on their way to meet the $20,000 to $30,000 price mark, but their most popular models are $35,000 and above.

The brand is most noted by their quirky leader, their long range capabilities under one singular charge, their surprising performance aspects, and their cutting edge technology. Currently, the Model S holds the record for the longest range on one charge which was 370 miles, but Elon claims 400 miles is coming soon and also claims that the coming soon 2nd gen Tesla Roadster will not only be the fastest production car, but it will also have a range of 620 miles which is absurd.

Yesterday Tesla reported some amazing 2020 1st quarter production and delivery numbers. The Tesla stock is going up and currently trading almost 10 percent higher than yesterday, but I want to talk about the 2nd quarter because the second quarter of the 2020 doesn't look good and it's not because of Tesla.

It’s always interesting to find new information that’s hidden in plain sight – and Tesla’s Giga Berlin site in Grünheide revealed an interesting issue. When discussing with Torque News editor Armen Hareyan about the ownership of vehicles engaged in leveling the site, I was suddenly reminded of a photo that appeared a fortnight ago. It’s the kind of sign that you can find outside any building site, listing the client and contractors.

Tesla Giga Berlin construction site has a new drone flight regulation. A few days ago I reported that the drone flight ban was lifted at the construction site of the Tesla Giga Berlin factory. The police had told my local friend Jurgen that the drone ban was due to a special police operation at the Giga Berlin site. However, today there is a new drone update and change of regulation and I am going to tell you about that.

In this news update about the Tesla Giga Berlin I am going to look at the facts, talk about the risks and opportunities for Tesla in Berlin. Deforestation, water consumption, workers' rights: there are many criticisms of the Tesla factory that is to be built at Grünheide. German RBB24’s Philip Barnstorf has published a nice story with a fact check and an inventory of the risks and opportunities that Tesla’s huge Gigafactory 4 project entails.

This is the latest news update from Tesla Giga Berlin. Some of you know that two days ago a heavy crane was brought in to start a different type of work, other than clearing the forest that was happening before. Yesterday the crane was being set up and raised and many of us were wondering what type of work this crane will start in this phase of preparing for Tesla’s Giga Berlin factory construction. The crane is compressing the ground. But what does this mean?

The Brandenburg environmental associations approve the construction of the Tesla Gigafactory in Brandenburg and make no fundamental complaint.

We just learned that the drone restriction over the Tesla Giga Berlin is lifted. I am going to tell you how we learned about it and what had caused it. Also I will show you how yesterday’s crane is being setup and working today at Tesla Gigafactory 4. It’s good that things at the Giga Berlin are moving forward at phenomenal speed because in Germany new EV registrations are rising sharply, but not with Tesla. The Berlin Gigafactory will make Tesla even more popular among the German and European buyers.

In this video article, I am going to show you the completion of phase one of the 3D model of the Tesla Giga Berlin. In my previous videos, I have mentioned and thanked the local Tesla enthusiasts from Berlin and Grunheide who send us daily updates from Giga Berlin via Twitter, but Emil Senkel, a high school student from Berlin, did something extraordinary: he built a 3D model of Tesla Giga Berlin and hope to give it to Elon Musk at the groundbreaking of Berlin Gigafactory 4 at the end of this month.

The purchase of the property for the planned Tesla automobile factory Giga Berlin is an interesting story. The purchase agreement between Tesla and the state of Brandenburg has already been signed and has been notarized since the end of January 2020. However, Tesla is not yet the owner of the 300 hectare site. How much is Tesla going to pay for the Giga Berlin property?
