Published · Updated · By Investus editorial desk (SUNRYU Partners)
In its 2025 Impact Report, Tesla codified a 2040 net-zero target covering the full value chain (suppliers, manufacturing, product use, end-of-life). Tesla will move its own operations to 100% renewable electricity by 2026 — Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg already runs on 100% renewables for a third straight year.
Net-Zero Roadmap
• 2026: Own operations to 100% renewable electricity
• 2040: Full value chain net-zero (suppliers, manufacturing, use, end-of-life)
Already Achieved
• Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg: 100% renewable for a 3rd straight year
• Other Gigafactories to transition over the coming years
