The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung writes:


Now Germany's model construction site finally is getting cracks. When Tesla announced an electric car factory in Grünheide, Brandenburg, in November 2019, the state government was full of ambition. After the BER breakdown airport, Tesla should become an example that Germany can do differently. Modern, fast, unbureaucratic. It was like that at the beginning. With the help of provisional individual permits, Tesla pulled up the first halls at lightning speed.

But meanwhile it has stalled. The State Environment Agency is still examining hundreds of objections from environmentalists. Economics Minister Jörg Steinbach (SPD), once Schering manager and President of the TU Berlin, is doing everything possible not to show his impatience. The fact that Tesla is meanwhile building tanks that have not yet been approved doesn't make things any easier. American hands-on mentality collides with German thoroughness.

Because the approval procedure for the battery factory, which is also planned, is now starting all over again, the most recently announced start of production at the end of 2021 should be more of a hope than a realistic forecast. With today's knowledge, would Tesla set up its factory again in Germany? Doubts are in order.
