Tesla is also going to create an engineering and design centre in Berlin because "I think Berlin has some of the best art in the world," TechCrunch reported Musk as saying.
"Everyone knows that German engineering is outstanding and that's part of the reason we're locating our gigafactory Europe in Germany," Musk said.
Musk later took to Twitter. "GIGA BERLIN. Will build batteries, powertrains & vehicles, starting with Model Y".
Tesla has unveiled its first Model 3 made-in-China at Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai.
Tesla has been expected to focus on Model 3 production at its Shanghai automotive factory, where it mulls producing as many as 3,000 vehicles per week next year.
Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory is first wholly-owned foreign auto factory in China.

"We are already producing full vehicles on a trial basis, from body, to paint and to general assembly, at Gigafactory Shanghai. We have cleared initial milestones toward our manufacturing license and are working toward finalizing the license and meeting other governmental requirements before we begin ramping production and delivery of vehicles from Shanghai," the company said.
