Tesla Faces Push-Back At New German Factory From Activists
Tesla had originally planned to begin production at this European plant in 2021. However, these plans faced delay as concerns over pollution prompted local environmental activists to push back on the construction.
Tesla finally gained approval to begin full production on the premises earlier this month. As long as it adheres to water use, air pollution, and other environmental requirements.
The Newest Tesla Factory Is the First Of Its Kind In Europe
This Tesla facility is the company’s first European manufacturing plant. The opening of the German Tesla factory site will allow Tesla to produce and deliver its product within the continent. Rather than relying on the Tesla facilities in the U.S. and China to ship the vehicles.
“This is a great day for the factory,” Elon Musk says during the plant’s opening.
The Tesla CEO also notes that this addition to the Tesla manufacturing plants will make “a huge difference to capital efficiency to localize production within a continent.”
The business mogul further adds that the newest Tesla factory is yet “another step in the direction of a sustainable future.”
