Tesla, Inc. has several factory buildings in the industrial zone of Vossenberg, Tilburg, in the Netherlands.

Buildings
As of late 2018[update], Tesla had three factory buildings in the Vossenberg industrial area of Tilburg, 15 kilometres (10 mi) north of the Belgium–Netherlands border with a total floor area of Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value)..[3] The factory buildings are close to the Wilhelmina Canal (Wilhelminakanaal) allowing for water-based delivery of intermodal containers arriving via the Port of Rotterdam.
European distribution centre
The first Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). Tesla facility started production of completed Tesla Model S cars on 22 August 2013.[4][5] It was Tesla's first factory outside California.[6]
Final assembly plant
By late 2015, the assembly plant was in the process of doubling capacity from 200 cars per week, to 450 cars per week.[6] The factory used for final assembly has a 3.4-megawatt rooftop photovoltaic power station.[2] Vehicles arrive from the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California with the interior fully fitted out to the customer's requested color combination. The battery pack and electric drive-train components are shipped separately.[6] The factory building contains a 750-metre-long (2,460 ft) indoor test track with the back straight allowing speeds of Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value)..[6] As of the 2021 S/X refresh, Tesla is no longer using this facility for S/X assembly, but it may be repurposed.

Third building
In mid-2018, Tesla took control of a third building with an area of 36,000 square metres (390,000 sq ft), approximately 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) east of the headquarters building.[8] The building had been certified by BREEAM as having a "very good" sustainability rating.[9] Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reported that it was likely to be used by Tesla for electric vehicle parts distribution.[10]
In October 2017, the original developers Ontwikkelingscombinatie Scheg had sold the nearly-completed building to Standard Life Aberdeen investment organisation.[11]
