Musk laughs off concern Tesla German plant will sap water supply
Tesla hopes to make the first cars at its “Gigafactory” in Gruenheide, near Berlin, in October or soon afterwards, Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Friday (August 13).”We’re looking forward to hopefully getting the approval to make the first cars maybe in October if we are fortunate,” Musk said on a visit to the plant with Armin Laschet, Germany’s conservative candidate to succeed Angela Merkel as chancellor.Tesla has pushed back the expected opening of the gigafactory to late 2021, blaming German bureaucratic hurdles.The plant has also faced local public resistance due to environmental concerns.When asked if he’s concerned the new factory would deplete the local water supply, Musk said, “This region has so much water. Look around you. This is completely wrong. It’s like water everywhere here. Does this seem like a desert to you?”
