In case you didn't know, there's a massive Tesla factory currently being built on the outskirts of Berlin. And, judging from a render posted today by CEO Elon Musk, it's going to look very nice.
Musk also shared some details about the factory, though it's hard to say which parts are a joke and which are serious. These include a swimming pool and an "indoor/outdoor rave space" on the roof. Also, Musk confirmed that the solar panel-looking things on the roof are indeed solar panels.

Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg was announced in Nov. 2019as part of the company's plan to greatly increase its presence in Europe. It's located in the municipality of Grünheide in Brandenburg, south-east of Berlin.
The new Gigafactory should become operational in 2021, initially focusing on Model Y production. Tesla says it expects the Gigafactory to produce 10,000 vehicles per week and employ up to 12,000 people in this first phase of operation.
