Tesla’s Gigafactory in Berlin is already in full production, trying to make up for some lost time. There were several months of delay and this resulted from the many problems the brand had with the authorities and their rules.
Tesla was expected to start shipping its cars to its customers, but there seemed to be some problems. Delivery dates for the new Model Y have been postponed and there is no reason for this change yet.
Problems at the Gigafactory in Germany
The establishment of the Gigafactory in Germany has a special purpose for the brand. It wants to stop relying on its factories around the world and thus ensure a source of new cars for Europe and other neighboring markets.
Larger-scale deliveries were expected to begin soon, but that now appears to be having problems. According to what is known, as a result of several reports, Tesla is canceling or delaying deliveries of cars made in Germany (MIG), which were originally scheduled for the end of June.

There are multiple reports of canceled MIG Model Y Performance deliveries in Europe. The delivery date was set early today.
New delivery dates are no later than mid-July.

Tesla's Model Y could be the affected model
Information associated with this situation indicates that there is a problem, but without mentioning the problem. There is no indication of a recall or official statement of what is known. This same information indicates problems with the power units of these cars, especially the Y Performance.
It's unknown how many Tesla Model Y Performance MIGs have been delivered so far by Tesla, but that number is expected to be less than four figures. There are reports of a recent problem with the Tesla MIG in Norway. According to the owner, the car cannot be driven, waiting for the parts needed for repair.

Car delivery has been postponed
This issue will likely affect all Gigafactory production in Germany and not just the performance version of the Model Y. These delays have also been reported by some Tesla customers, who have seen the estimated delivery time of the Long Range AWD version change.
This Tesla factory appears to be in trouble again, as we've seen before. It is expected that it will be easy to diagnose the problem quickly and continue production of the Model Y and the remaining models, especially since the Chinese manufacturer is expected to get another break to change equipment soon.
