The Surprising Trip To Germany By Tesla Boss Elon Musk (50)!
He reached Berlin with his family on Wednesday evening, then drove to Brandenburg by car. There Musk met with representatives of the state government.
Brandenburg Economic Affairs Minister Jörg Steinbach tweeted about Musk’s photo in a black T-shirt and scarf: “Very relaxing evening meeting.” Accordingly, Prime Minister Dietmar Vodke was also present at the meeting and Musk’s family. “We had a fiduciary exchange about what still needs to be done,” Steinbach wrote.
Tesla is building a car factory in Grunheide, near Berlin, near the capital’s airport. The e-car group plans to manufacture about 500,000 of the compact Model 3 and Model Y series each year. Originally, the company wanted to start production in July. The end of the year is now in the room.
Union chancellor candidate and CDU boss Armin Laschet, 60, is planning a tour of the Tesla Gigafactory on Friday.
Following the renewed public display of the plans, the Brandenburg State Office for the Environment (LFU) has so far received only 44 objections to the construction of the factory. Environment Minister Axel Vogel (Greens) gave the report to the Environment Committee of the state parliament on Wednesday. The deadline for objections doesn’t end until August 19. Last year, 373 objections were received in the first interpretation of documents and 110 in the second interpretation.
The minister said that after the end of the period, the LFU will decide whether there will be another public hearing or not. Should it be necessary, the public hearing should be held on 13 September at the town hall in Erkner.
Vogel said a final decision on when the factory’s environmental clearance will not be made because of the ongoing proceedings. In September 2020, the hearing of the critics of the project lasted for several days.
