Dancing Elon Musk hands drivers 1st Teslas from new "gigafactory" in Germany

Elon Musk was cheered as he oversaw the handover of Tesla's first German-made cars at its Gruenheide plant on Tuesday, marking the start of the U.S. automaker's inaugural European hub just two years after it was first announced. "This is a great day for the factory," Musk said, describing it as "another step in the direction of a sustainable future." The Tesla CEO danced and joked with fans as the new vehicles were unveiled through a glitzy, neon-lit Tesla-branded tunnel. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who also attended the event, lauded the "gigafactory" as the future of the car industry. At full capacity, the plant will produce 500,000 cars a year.
