RARE PHOTOS: German made tesla model y compared to china made model y | Rare Historical Photos

Is the new Tesla Model Y from the brand's new German factory any different from those made in China? If you live in Europe, you'll likely be seeing both made-in-Germany Model Y crossovers, as well as those built in Shanghai.

Now that Tesla is opening new factories, people may be wondering about the quality of the cars from the newly opened and upcoming plants. One would think it would be difficult to even tell the difference between Tesla Model Y SUVs built at different factories. However, that may not be the case if you know what to look for. Moreover, it seems it's not as much about the factory as it is about the timing of the builds.

Tesla just finally started producing Model Y crossovers at its brand-new state-of-the-art production facility near Berlin, Germany. To be clear, the factory had been ready to open for some time, and it was already building many pre-production Model Y vehicles. However, multiple delays pushed back the factory's official opening, in addition to government approval to produce and deliver the electric crossover to customers.
