a series of cones and you maneuver a vehicle swerving through different gaps between those cones to see how well it maneuvers and at various speeds and apparently the model y is a champ when it comes to this test here's a quote from that inside evs article based on the information in the video above which is from the youtube channel kmNUMBER_TOKEN the model y cleared the cones at NUMBER_TOKEN kilometers per hour which is NUMBER_TOKEN miles per hour even though the model y is larger taller and heavier than the model NUMBER_TOKEN its most test time actually matched the model NUMBER_TOKEN's record it's important to note that the same publication kmNUMBER_TOKEN previously tested the model NUMBER_TOKEN in the same way the model y already has a very low rollover percentage of just NUMBER_TOKEN according to nhtsa testing and of course as a five-star crash safety rating from them as well however beyond just the five-star crash ratings which are really important and the low percentage of rollover risk i think that's really important but i think it's also important that we focus on how well the vehicle maneuvers and this could come in really handy if you encounter a hazardous situation on the road being able to maneuver around hazardous objects on the road without losing control of your vehicle is a great safety feature and the model y seems like it does really well in this department in our last news story for today i wanted to talk about tesla's gigafactory that they're currently building near berlin germany this is of course really important for the european expansion because the ev market in europe is very large but we have some good positive news coming from germany about tesla's factory tasmanian just reported that quote tesla giga berlin gains approval from brandenburg for NUMBER_TOKEN million euros in funding for a battery factory this news of course comes right on the tells of what was reported on september NUMBER_TOKENth by tobias lend that tesla recently received two new building permit approvals from the city of brandenburg as well here is a quote from the official brandenburg government website the state office for the environment authorizes the early start of construction for rainwater infiltration systems and the modified construction of parts of buildings a decision on the application could only now be made because a change in the project in the ongoing approval process required renewed public participation of course if you've been following along with tesla's progress with gigafactory berlin and really gigafactory texas as well tesla is making great progress and both of these factories are really important as i mentioned for tesla's future success because this is where the model y NUMBER_TOKEN is going to be manufactured initially and of course other vehicles as well in the future but initial production of the model y NUMBER_TOKEN at gigafactory berlin is going to be really important because once again the ev market in europe is huge and it's really important for tesla's success so do let me know in the comments section below what you think about this and some of the other news stories that i've talked about and i do want to thank you for watching this video all the way through to the end i would like to take a moment here at the end of the video to thank my patreon supporters who support me every month and help make this content possible a special thank you to my performance supporters and also the other supporters listed on the screen if
