Tesla announced that Giga Berlin touched 5000 builds per week in late March with a time-lapse video of assembling a Model Y. But unlike Giga Berlin, which focuses on battery cell manufacturing and Model Y, Texas is focused on Model Y and its much-awaited Cybertruck.
Tesla has been attempting to ramp up Cybertruck production at Austin. The EV giant has significantly ramped up hiring across roles for the Cybertruck which is expected later this year.
On Sunday, Musk tweeted that he walked down the Cybertruck production line at Giga Texas for several hours.
"Gonna be awesome," he said of the vehicle, adding that it "feels like the future."
Price Action: Tesla shares closed up 6.2% to $207.46 on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
