of the year after stronger-than-expected demand, plant chief André Thierig told Germany’s DPA news agency.
Because of “very good sales figures,” the company “revised our production plans for the third and fourth quarters upwards,” Thierig said, noting the plant serves more than 30 markets worldwide and is seeing growth beyond Germany.
The move comes despite challenges in Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) German market, where sales have been pressured by Chinese competitors and concerns about Chief Executive Elon Musk’s political activity. Official data showed Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) July sales in Germany fell by more than half from a year earlier, and deliveries in the first seven months of 2025 dropped nearly 58%.
Still, Thierig said trends across international markets supplied by the plant are turning positive, prompting the company to lift its output goals.
