Tesla facilities in Tilburg, Electric vehicle factory in Tilburg, Netherlands
Tesla facilities in Tilburg is a factory for assembling electric vehicles located in the Vossenberg industrial area near the Wilhelmina Canal. The plant receives vehicle components through Rotterdam's port and assembles multiple models destined for European markets.
The facility opened in 2013 as Tesla's first manufacturing plant outside California and initially assembled the Model S for European customers. The factory later expanded production to additional models to support growing electric vehicle demand across Europe.
The Netherlands location reinforces Tesla's position in sustainable transportation, aligning with Dutch environmental policies and manufacturing traditions.
Visitors can see the exterior of the factory, but access inside is usually limited to tours or special occasions. It is best to check in advance whether tours are available and how to reach the facility.
Inside the factory, Tesla tests vehicles on a 750-meter indoor track where speeds reach up to 110 kilometers per hour. This hidden test track lets the company check finished vehicles directly before they leave the plant.
