Tesla’s “Don’t Mess with Tesla” belt buckle screams the Texas spirit, and now it can do so even for customers in Europe.
The “Don’t Mess with Tesla” belt buckle is now available for customers in Europe, available at a price of 70 euros, according to Tesla’s online store as spotted by @Tesla_Adri.
The belt buckle was originally released to celebrate Tesla’s opening of Gigafactory Texas, which nearing substantial completion.
Also available and spotted by @Tesla_Adri was the launch of the Model Y Tow Hitch, priced at 1,350 euro ($1,506 USD), now available to order. Tesla has previously listed the Tow Hitch, but it was unavailable to order. The listing was removed earlier this week, but re-added today and now available.
The tow hitch package is for those that did not order it at when placing their Model Y order, and requires an appointment for it to be installed by Tesla.
It could be a sign Giga Berlin may be near its launch to produce Model Y vehicles, which will have 2170 cells and not the latest 4680 expected for Giga Texas.
Tesla added the tow hitch in the European shop again!
It now is purchasable, meaning the tow package retrofit for model y is finally available! https://t.co/nCLnfdxApV pic.twitter.com/paA8ZZK0UO— Tesla_Adri (@tesla_adri) January 28, 2022
New photos of Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas and its other under-construction facility in Grünheide, Germany were shared earlier this week, with both factories set to begin ramping up production over the next few months.
Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin is still awaiting final approval from the Brandenburg Ministry, with the automaker planning to start delivering Model Y orders from the factory in March.
According to internal code on Tesla’s website, it appears the Model Y Performance variant will also be included in the initial round of deliveries in March, with the words “New Performance Trim Launch in Berlin.”
The company will also elect the first European Tesla works council on February 28, though some government officials have expressed that it might be in the employee’s best interest for Tesla to wait until more entry-level employees are hired.
