Tesla will increase output at its factory near Berlin after revising production plans upward for the third and fourth quarters, according to a Tesla spokesperson.
Thierig cited “very good sales figures” and said the company is seeing positive signals across more than 30 markets, though he did not provide new targets.
The comments contrast with recent data showing Tesla’s sales in the European Union fell 44% in the first seven months of the year, cutting its market share nearly in half.
In Germany, new registrations dropped 39% in August and 56% year-to-date. Similar declines were reported in France, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden, while Norway was an exception with sales rising 21% last month.
Tesla has attributed the downturn to production disruptions tied to a redesign of the Model Y, its top-selling vehicle, which is manufactured at the Berlin-area plant.
