"Today, members of our Regional Committee Berlin Area visited the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin. Fascination for modern production quickly set in during the tour. Sheet metal parts for the body are pressed every second. Industrial robots lift several tons weighing parts up or down one floor to fit them precisely into the next part. Basses of different musical styles boom at various workstations," stated IHK Ostbrandenburg in its post.

Tesla employee Yevhen Krasnikov, who is deaf, shared in sign language, "I think it’s great, there’s nothing negative, nothing bad. Everyone is open-minded, friendly to communication. I concentrate on my work, and everyone else does too."
A Young, Vibrant Workforce
Schmitz further emphasized that Giga Berlin’s workforce is notably young. “We are a very young workforce. People usually know each other for two or three years and get to know each other better.
