  • It's a measure of how far construction has progressed at the Berlin Gigafactory 4 site (pictured above) that construction workers have found unexploded bombs on the site.

  • Locating unexploded bombs from past wars is not unusual in Germany, apparently, as it happened in Cologne this week as well; experts will safely explode them.

  • The Gigafactory 4 will start building the Model 3 and Y at some point in 2021.

Tesla has been moving ahead swiftly with plans to open Gigafactory 4 in the Berlin area, where it plans to build the Model 3 and the future Model Y for the Europe market. It wouldn't be terribly shocking, given the history of that part of Europe, if artifacts from World War II were to be found on the property.
