Tesla Giga Berlin will get the world's most advanced paint shop. Using the new painting technology, Tesla cars will have a special, attractive, and lively look.
Each Tesla factory is modeled on the previous one, but the differences in equipment are impressive. Giga Berlin will have an advanced paint shop, which will be able to apply paint in three layers. Several layers of paint give the color a realistic depth, which makes the colors brighter than possible with traditional paint systems.
“If you get dimension, there’s something called flop, where you see the change in color with curvature,” said Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “If you can do something like lay down a gloss layer, then lay down a layer with color tint, then lay down another gloss layer, you can get kind of a 3D feeling to the paint. It just pops. It's so much better than anything else. We’re going to do this in Berlin for the first time. ”
At the Giga Berlin construction site, construction of the Paint Shop continues at a rapid pace.

The Paint Shop is popping up right in front of our eyes. Part of the building is already almost complete. Here, the roof is covered and will soon begin to be insulated.

As before, we can see that in one part of the building there seem to be three floors, while in the other part they are not visible. In this section, we do not see any fasteners for installing floors, although there are slabs installed on the Southside that divide the room into two floors. However, this only comprises a small part of the huge space. Perhaps the entire height of the building will be used for the installation of the latest painting equipment.

Musk said that additional layers of paint will cost more than traditional paint methods, but they will be very valuable to customers. The new construction will be Tesla's next competitive advantage. Over time, paint shops in Fremont and Shanghai will also be modernized.
