The new Tesla factory in Berlin may release the first electric cars next month. CEO Elon Musk stated this.
Speaking at the plant, Musk said he hoped to get the green light to begin production in the coming weeks. The last consultation on public concern about the plant ends on October 14, after which the German Ministry of Nature Protection must decide on the possibility of producing cars.
The Ministry of Economy in the Brandenburg government estimated the chances of approving the start of the plant at 95%.
Musk said production at the plant would be 5,000 or “hopefully 10,000” vehicles a week.
“It will take more time to achieve large volumes of production than to build the plant itself,” he added.
As you know, in Germany, some locals and environmental groups are protesting against the construction of the Tesla plant.
