Tesla opens first European Gigafactory: A resurgence of foreign investments into Germany?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มี.ค. 2022
- After two years of construction, Tesla's first European factory delivers its first cars today. The Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory could soon be building half a million cars per year. Tesla is also building a battery factory nearby. Berlin is Tesla's fourth car factory. Its first plant in California went into operation in 2010. That was followed by a battery factory in the Nevada desert. Then came its Shanghai plant in 2019. Now the new Berlin-Brandenburg factory, which Tesla had initially hoped to open last year. Up next: a new gigafactory near Austin, Texas, to be completed soon. As for Germany, the largest economy within the European Union has recently been attracting more foreign investors again. Tesla is just one example.

1:00 "This was a forest just two years ago." No.
It is entirely misleading to call a tree farm a forest, as if some evil industrialist has come in and destroyed a pristine work of nature.
Yes, it's a forest Not the nicest kind, but still.
It's called forestry and not tree farming.
It kind of marshy area, and no one wanted to build there.
Doesn't matter where is the factory as long as it's in EU. We need a common fiscal policy.
-_- its matter cuz germany the cars maker and its n ot allowedto recplce germancars with better ones that destroys eu
@@mcminioncrafter2912 I don't understand what you mean. It's all good for EU market. EU accounts for almost 25% of global trade. It's a big and stable union. EU also does a lot to bring peace on this planet. Those countries that are in EU are not all the same but EU is united in the differences it has. EU has many peace keeping programs. I recommend you to get familiar with EU structure as it's as bad as people portray it.
@@matt-eu-poland peace? Ugh you won't understand and I'm now to explain with an 1000 words comment
@@mcminioncrafter2912 or I wouldn't be able to understand your English mate.
germany has to pay
862 days from planning to the start of production is actually unthinkable by German standards... environmental protection requirements from deforestation to water consumption, construction regulations and motorway connections, labour law and trade unions, requirements imposed by the state and the EU... whoever intervened at a higher level it feels like warpspeed in comparison to an unspecified airport nearby
862 ? Is that quick?LOL
@@linmal2242 Well...in EU, yes
Let's all help build our renewably powered global economy as fast as possible...off fossil fuels, off Russian natural gas and oil and off carbon emissions. Let's go Tesla!!
US is fixing to boom Europe with all the LGN it can handle....that's why the WAR in Ukraine is happening......to cut off Russia...
We've been fracking for 15 + yrs and shutting most GAS wells down till a later date..... That date has arrived....US Big contract with Europe for the supply of LGN....
@@Showmethefish Ok the US supplying Europe with LNG is a nice but short term solution like a jerry can to get to the next gasoline station. The real solution is high insulation, high efficiency and everything everywhere powered by renewably powered electricity with zero carbon emissions and zero air pollution.
Yes, but we have plenty of things that oil will be needed for far into the future, and powering cars and heating homes should be removed from that list as soon as possible.
Yeah, battery is not renewable or clean.
It's a good first step, but we have a lot of work to do.
It was a crop of trees intended for wood production*
i.e. forestry…
@@Dear_Mr._Isaiah_Deringer they said forest without anymore context
@@leoperez2566 It's still a forest. It would have been impossible to build anything in a nature reserve to begin with, so it's implied that it is at the very least a managed forest of some kind. Conversely, even though monoculture forestry is less than ideal for harboring wildlife, it doesn't mean that it won't harbor any.
But weighing all these factors, personally I'm still in favor of the factory. Just saying, there's nothing wrong in saying that it replaced a forest.
@@Dear_Mr._Isaiah_Deringer it's not a real forest. They're not equal
For a brand new project built on undeveloped land this is extremely fast by German standards. I'm still of the opinion that the factory should've been built in Poland, but an EV factory is still a step forward regardless of where it is built
FYI 1) “Forest” - man planted one kind of trees for future cardboard use. Tesla will re-plant on ration 3:1 a diverse forest in Germany. 2) Very few if any companies will take a huge risk like Tesla did. They started building based on pre-approvals, if final approval not given, everything would need to be dis-assembled. In reality, without massive risk this project would have taken at least 4 years./ With all due respect to Germany and EU, there is a huge improvements need to be done to your bureaucracy. By the way, it’s so ironic that so called ‘environmental’ groups would so vigorously try to stop Tesla….
Yep. With droughts being one of the effects of the climate change Tesla is trying to fight, slowing down Tesla production because you claim to be worried about the water use of the factory is just a lie.
Yep it was a tree farm not an old growth forest.
We need to get rid of Volkswagen , they're more evil than ISIS .
- "They started building based on pre-approvals..."
That's a practice often leading to corruption, and thus not allowed everywhere. Businesses calculate that not getting the permission is less likely when the work has already started.
- "With all due respect to Germany and EU, there is a huge improvements need to be done to your bureaucracy."
Why? Germany is not doing well?
- "By the way, it’s so ironic that so called ‘environmental’ groups would so vigorously try to stop Tesla…."
Your idea of irony would be superficial, even if it were about Tesla.
@@adoatero5129 Germany isn't really doing well , it's on a downward spiral . No innovation whatsoever, no technology whatsoever, almost had a recession even before the pandemic in 2019 with 0.6% growth , combine that with a culture of backwardness , dogma and anti progress and hatred of change and you get the perfect storm . Germany is a 20th century economy, and it's past its best days , from now on it's irreversibly downwards .
It does not make much difference if you make a factory in France, Italy or Germany EU shares the same market/economy and customs area. EU alignment makes sure countries cannot be played out against each other anymore within the Single Market. And this factory is clearly build to manufacture Tesla's for the Single Market and placed almost at the center of the EU.
It should have been build somewhere in Europe with less corruption and inane outdated rules. They would have been supplying Eruope with the best EVs in the world, even better than the Chinese and American cars of the same model, for 10 months already, would have cut the wait time for buyers and made the gas prices lower in the face of Russian aggression,
@@SkyRiver1 There are 3 countries in the EU with less corruption, according to the CPI. Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Germany is more central which reduces transport costs.
@@MrTohawk Makes all kinds of sense I am sure. What about Norway? Hard to believe there is more corruption their than in Germany. I mean aren't German and British banks always dealing in the dirt, washing money for drug cartels and Russian mafia, I mean oligarchs?
@@SkyRiver1 Norway is not part of the EU. And also too far north for transport purposes, just like Sweden.
Wrong it will help reduce inflation in Berlin
It’s great to see the modern investments in green technology but even so we will blow passed our global carbon budget. We will need an imperfect plan B

The Austin Texas plant started producing Model Y in late 2021.
The first delivery is the event that really counts. Until then, it is all just test runs.
This one also has been producing full cars for months waiting for those permits.
This anchor is great. I don't know her name but the way she read news make understand each and every word.
Looking forward to locally built Model Ys😍😍😍👏👏👏
Build quality needs to improve significantly, LOL! Or they can close down in 5 years!
Not to mention paint job and exterior, interior design!
@@tibsyy895 Old tropes. The Teslas coming out of Germany will offer the highest precision of any mass produced car on earth. If you actually followed the owners who talk about their own Teslas, you would know that you are the victim of the media FUD, union hit jobs, and the unimaginable hate and resistance of traditional OEMs and especially dealerships that will lie and build up any minor negative about Tesla to attempt to sabotage a superior product in the weak minded. You basically have no real idea what you are talking about.
Tesla is a generation of engineering beyond any other EV manufacturer, and that is a fact.
Tesla does not need to advertise to sell every car they make at a profit beyond all other major OEMs. Their customers sell them for them. Tesla customers frequently say that their Tesla is their absolute favorite possession, and that they are continually thrilled by the fact that it is often improved OTA on a weekly basis.
People like you have been predicting the fall of Tesla since the beginning. The facts on the ground could not be more out of line with the FUD you have picked up from the media.
Tesla does not give free cars to auto magazine staff, or all expense paid junkets to visit a resort and see the new, fill in the blank, which are special magazine cars specially built by hand to get reviews. This is knowm -- child. Or maybe you depend on the financial or auto press or broadcasters whose sole raison d'etre is to sell advertising space or time. And Tesla will not pay the hundreds of millions that they get from all other OEMs. You figure it out. If your are capable.
A forest was cleared to make way for green energy...
(yeh, I get that scale matters, but an interesting choice of delivery)
It's not a forest. It's a forestation.
Awesome! 👏
A small correction, that factory was built on a tree plantation not a natural forest.
Steven did an exceptional job reporting!
Its a tough market to get into but Tesla has finally gotten it done.
Great news!! we need more Tesla cars in Europe. specially in the south.
For all of the 'green' ideas; people believe Tesla is the greenest, however the mining of rare earth minerals and especially relying heavily on nickle and minerals found mostly in China and Russia, it's interesting that people think electric cars are so green. All that electric cars do is cut the dependency on oil. With a price tag upwards of $15,000 to replace the battery and the average price of electric cars above $75K, it's just financially unreasonable that electric is the future. It's the here and now, but not the future.
Nice.
Berlin unreal 😱😱😱
congratz TESLA!
Lets go
Keep up the good work Tesla.....we support you and only you can move the world to sustainable energy
Meanwhile Stuttgart21
great work Chelsea.
Only 23000 documents for approvals. Obviously not bureaucratic
I hope that's a metaphor

So much for German efficiency!
🤣🤣🤣
Good one Elon
Great work Tesla and Germany
Hope for good success and prosperity
A Paper forest, of 10,000 trees each drinking 10 ltrs a day (very low estimate) 100,000 litres of water a day. Now i know its a lot of toilet flushing at 1000 workers,,,but they get that water back CHEESY GRIN. so how much water does the plant actually use when you take out its own ♻ recycled water. now i have a Bosch lathe brushless motor 30years still going .I am from the UK and think German precision with tesla inovation unbeatable , and a great win for young German engineers, .Old school get over it.
Much of the engineering that has gone into Teslas is also of German origin.
Tesla Fremont was purchased by Tesla in 2010 and went into production in 2012.
How would that compare. Like at all. Tesla was a spec of what it is today
@@GenuineFlolie I made no comparison. Just correcting the video that says production started in 2010 at Fremont.
Hope that Tesla cars are better than Tesla cellular phones, which are pretty bad devices.
That's the way. I'm not talking about electrical, I'm talking about stop relying on autocracies/dictatorships. I think that the so called 'free world' should have a democracy threshold to invest in any country. It would be hard, but at least you're not hostage.
protest against electric car maker but not against ICE company
NABU is payed by Volkswagen, it's on their own website!
@@daremasterco7321 Finally someone who realizes the situation. Why is it so hard for them to realize that one of the most dishonest companies on earth would expect their millions and millions in donations to benefit them? VW group is like dealing with the mafia. They will complement your efficiency to your face while attempting to stab you in the back.
It was a scam to keep a competitor bogged down as long as possible. Shame on them.
In Jan and Feb of 2022, "model 3" and "Mode Y" were the most sold EVs in Germany, even without a factory in Europe. Volkswagen ID3 and ID4 were far behind. My guess is that the lead of Tesla will go bigger from now on. Constantly. VW just like Mercedes, Audi and BMW stand no chance to compete with Tesla. Their only viable source of income are gaz cars, which are a dying breed.
Austin Texas Tesla Giga factory opening party is 7th April 2022.
Let's destroy a forest to build a green car factory.
It's not a forest it's a forestation.
@@m.r4841 It doesn't matter. It was there there to produce wood and now it is not there anymore. Elon said he was going to make another one three times the size. Has he?
Well kind of marshy area there is a forest, but you need to understand it was schedule to be BMW plant when the bailed.
This is like opening Starbucks in Italy
Starbucks is only a service industry with low value, and the automobile industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry, which can affect the life and death of a country's industry.
This so called "bureaucracy" is the difference between agressive capitalism and socialist oriented capitalism. In the latter, everything takes longer, but in the long run, it looks to ensure people's safety and avoid slave labour. Yes, the chinese are able to do it in half the time... with 15 hour shifts and no environment control. I prefer it the old european way, thank you.
VW ship so many parts for their cars from Chinese slave labour ! fool.
The latter enabled far left terrorism to burn a part of the building down
At 1:50 the vid says Tesla had to wait for approval of last building, which was "spread out over 23,000 documents". That is an insane amount of paperwork to build one building. Looks like "German efficiency" is a myth when it comes to bureaucracy. I suspect Germany is a wealthy country with a large, well-educated population but does not have enough jobs to go around. They have to create work for the middle-class, hence the staggering amount of mostly useless paper work.
@@honeheke4554 Bureaucracy isn’t useless. It separates order from chaos. Every permit achieves a desired goal.
@@honeheke4554 not enough jobs to go around? Yeah... that's why they have a surplus of engineering jobs, like 400.000 every year. You couldn't be more mistaken.
the subsidies are paid back to Germany also in terms of taxes. Intel will not only pay income tax but other local taxes, VAT, etc. I'm American and somewhat offended by her question regarding what is Germany doing to decouple from reliance on US for energy. I mean Germany didn't question relying on RUSSIA! why would you EVER need to question reliance on the US.
Because the US is still a shity option, certainly better than Rusia but still shity. The EU should be reliant on no one regarding energy.
Can anybody help me go from Brazil to Germany? Life is better there, Schopenhauer used German (I'd love to learn it to read in Deutsch) and people are polite and like soccer. I dont know any one there, nor the language, neither the wherewithal to get there. I'm not a scammer or anything, just need something new to improve my life.

Well done Elon we welcome you here in the heart of Europe to help ring in the new (industrial) normal.
Wait til you see what the Chinese are bringing
@@julianshepherd2038 With the exception of low cost vehicles that would not be legal elsewhere for safety concerns, Tesla is the best selling EV in China. They are not even close to the tech that Tesla can bring.
But it is the only chance that companies like GM and Volvo have to compete at all is to have Chinese companies produce EVs for them. But they are not Teslas.
People who get to know Tesla engineering, or own one of their cars, sooner or later realize that they are a different generation of EV compared to all others. It's like comparing an F14 Tomcat to an F22 Raptor. They are both great planes, but there really is no fair comparison.

He's coming to eat your lunch , because you companies and economy are super backwards , 20th century stuff .

German bureaucracy especially , and it already did , combined with an extremely backwards and anti change society/culture and horrendous demographics , Germany is a 20th century economy .
“Forest” != "forestation". the later is man made. And it was ment for cardboard.
23 000 documents......That's not bureaucracy,that's madness.
Does it mean there will be cheaper teslas in EU?
Probably not for a while. just more of them. Tesla will save on shipping but pay more on labor compared to making them in China.
“This was a forest two years ago.”
WRONG. It was a monoculture tree farm. All the trees there had been planted with the express purpose of being harvested later on, just like any crop on any farm. Is a corn field a “forest”?
It was not a forest it was a plantation!
This will help Europe reduce its dependency on imported gas and oil.
Boomers buying overpriced serviced BMWs and Mercedes: 🤡
This is excellent news. Tesla in Germany will transform the local industry. VW is paying attention and they should be! Tesla will dominate if they don't respond fast! Germans are intelligent and will want electric vehicles especially with the desire to be free from Russia oil! I commend Germany for going green first, which will inspire neighboring countries.

- ”Because once all their competitors see how much money they make they will realize the appetite for electric vehicles is very high.”
You are not making sense. Why would you try to figure out the popularity of electric cars from individual manufacturer’s profits when you can look at the vehicle sales statistics directly? And why would Tesla even have to be in Germany for others to take observe it’s profit figures? It’s also good to note that Tesla’s global market share is less than twenty percent, so you method would be pretty unreliable just for that reason alone.
Me give me a 850 hp 10 cylinder gas engine any time.
this settles the argument if it's unfair competition if governement injects money in industry, goverments should be free to invest in its interest wihtout foregin intervention
It's EV. People get voted out of office and sued if there isn't favoritism.
Replace oil with lithium 🤷
You can recycle lithium.
Interesting Timing Don't Ya Think 🤔
There are still needs where ICE is better. I support Tesla but there are always a few exceptions to the rule.
Same is for horses.. ICE has only one need, a museum!
@@daremasterco7321 They still use horses. There are always a few exceptions to the rule.
A car runs better with leaded gas and no catalytic converter. We decided that it’s not worth the environmental damage, so the law has banned them.
New gas cars will be phased out in most countries within 15 years.
Micro Factories are the future!
More factories in Europe, not in China. And less dependance of Russian oil. Then, during the energy transition, before we'll use only renewables, the EU countries should replace Russian gas and oil with gas and oil ftom all other countries, but not from Russia. ONLY TOTAL ECONOMICAL BLOCKADE OF RUSSIA CAN STOP ITS MILITARY DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS!
Never gonna happen

Can you tell me about those tax credits? as far as I can tell USA gives VW, Mexico (Ford), Toyota and China (Polestar) buyers a tax credit, but Tesla gets none.
Tesla did borrow some federal money early on in it's development. It payed it all back, with interest before it was due. And I believe it payed a penalty in addition for early repayment. You know nothing and either know your are lying or are a complete dupe. Elon Musk has personally paid more US taxes than any other person in history ever has. He has paid over a million and a half dollars in taxes for every day he has been a US citizen -- get some actual facts -- fool -- because your facts are like the facts of a Trump supporter, alternative facts, -- lies.

Will we need all those coal powerplants to power those electric cars
We don't need all the ignorant commenters like you to tell us how things aren't...

China will be the leader when it comes to BEV manufacturing, VWs CEO , Herbert Diess has stated they need 30 man hrs to build an EV vs Teslas 10 hours , Tesla also is not afraid to try new ways of building cars like GigaPresses for its Megacastsend pieces and Battery pack as a structural member.German automakers will have to follow these process if they are to compete, The Chinese are already following with their Giga Press orders 5 or 6 companies have stated so.

The problem are humans, we are by far the most destructive species in existence. Industry will always take from nature
@Linux user Pure FUD, been debunked years ago by real science. And by the way the batteries are more than 90% recyclable.
You are way behind the times, quoting ten year old concerns that were not true even then.
Here is the most important thing for you to understand, because without understanding it, you fall prey to all kinds of partisan disinformation from unions and autodealership associations, and big oil, but mostly from commercial media. Who feels Tesla is stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from them for not paying the ad vig like all the other OEMs have to.
Tesla does not advertise. Therefor when one Tesla catches fire when some drunk drives it into a tree at 90mph it is in the news for weeks, on an hourly basis, while the the 350 deaths every year from the 185,000 gas cars that catch fire in the USA, gets no mention anywhere ever.
Duped you are.
@Linux user FUD. Only about 3% of the mass of a large pack is lithium, less if one counts the enclosure. Lithium mining is not particularly destructive. And compared to drilling for oil, the difference is staggering… about 1,200 kg in a big battery pack which is still present at end of life. That’s only about 25-35 kg of lithium. The 15,000 to 30,000 kg of gas or diesel over the lifetime of a vehicle has to be pulled from the ground and is burnt, causing much higher environmental impact. The built in GHG emissions of a BEV is higher at first, but typically break even is reached around 10,000 km. The new DBE 4680 cells will have much lower embodied GHG due to skipping the cathode oven baking step.
Why not do it in countries like Romania, Hungary, Poland? Invest in these countries as well, they got great potential - not just Germany
It's near Polish border 😉
Investment capital, proximity to buyers, and subsidies.
Polish workers were used to do a lot of work on the factory. They did roof work and are building the battery plant. I expect many of them to work at the factory.
No they don’t. Tesla needs its German suppliers. Eastern Europe only has lower labor costs and is closer to being occupied by the Red Army.
This is great news for Germany but Elon Musk is no angel. His headquarters in California has been slapped with some Racial Discrimination Lawsuits as well as some other controversies!
Good luck trying to be smart with European work laws. We have more strict rules compared to the US
Total FUD, it's not as if it's company policy. There may have been some racist remarks that were not addressed by some employees to some contractor, but you have to understand the mindset in California, and the clearly opportunistic mindset that can turn a few insults into a couple of hundred million dollars. Jump on the sue Tesla for nothing bandwagon. The payoffs could be monumental. Anyone who even brings up this travesty of justice as a criticism of Tesla is suspect. Just slanted bull. There are Tesla haters, all over the place. I know a few of them. They are like Trump cultists or sometimes like woke puddin' heads who not only can't see the forest for the trees, they are so myopic neurally they can't see the trees for the bark.
I’m sure there definitely won’t be any dumb, racist workers in Germany.
This is probably the reason why Biden doesn’t talk about Tesla. But talks about EV’s with the big three. 🤷♂️
Biden is lip service of UAW, since they have enriched him with "political donations" aka bribery
And they are green whit 80% of charging coming from carbon burning electrical power plants 🤔
According to the Wiki they got 75% from fossile fuel all kinds.
The reason is obvious as they build stuff to last and they're not scrapping these plants until they actually break. And given that 5 coal trains built to last a decade during WWII are still operational in Bosnia...
Yes. Even when powered by coal generated electricity still cleaner than a gasoline or diesel car. Much more efficient. And if you put solar panels on your roof, way way better.

Does the area need these jobs or is this in a new area where growth will accelerate?

Legacy automakers like VW, BMW, Mercedes, and Toyota are very far behind Tesla and and will have great difficulty avoiding bankruptcy without government bailouts.
Not true. Tesla fot sure is still ahead in crucial software areas, like charge planning, latency, menu structure, consistency. It is on par with exterior built quality and slightly behind interior built quality, it is clearly behind competition in driving quality, for example suspension. Also I personally don't like Teslas design and community and I know that I am not alone with this.
That won’t happen German and Japanese car manufacturer are good at innovation. Tesla has a lot of flaws which shall come to light soon.
@@SuperKillerdog what innovation? hydrogen that never took off for toyota and EVs for the legacy germans that have no software support or charging networks?
@@CockmageLVL99 ... Good thing a few punters like you drive old generation or subpar vehicles as Tesla cannot and will not be able to produce enough vehicles to meet worldwide demand for at least half a decade.

Warning. This is supposed to look like real information about Tesla. But it has a deliberate hinge when it comes to Giga Berlin, where Tesla have built a water cleaning renewable system, so that Tesla only uses 1% of the water supply than the closeby coal mine, which no one ever have protested against. Really impressive. Only about 5-10 union leaders and paid BMW workers have made protests against Tesla, but thats not what the video says. All protest are dismissed for being political. Just like this add. Wonder who is paying for this channel?
I was considering buying an electric car * perhaps a TESLA until I found out in cold climates in winter that the battery loses up to 50% of its power and range. So I will stick with gasoline until someone fix's this!
50% is not true. It's more like 20%.

After 2 years of GER red tape. What a major mistake for elon to choose GER. Whoever wants to invest in GER in the future need a second thought.
He did decide to build a factory in the middle of a drinking water protection zone next to a nature reserve. To expect anything but a lot of requirements and safeguards would be absurd. That is unless you come from underdeveloped countries like the US.
Ja you need second thought.....bose?
He's coming here on purpose , because he smells blood , the German car companies are easy prey , with their steep hierarchies , dogmatism , no innovation whatsoever , irrelevant technology etc .. he's gonna just come in and finish them off , natural selection essentially .
@@jadoei13 The US is an underdeveloped country? It's wealthier than Germany and almost every European country lol.
On 12. November 2019 Elon Musk announced Giga Berlin.
On 31. January 2020 the UK left the EU to escape red tape.
On 30. July 2021 the Honda Swindon plant closed after 36 years.
Also 2021 UK fuel supply crisis caused by a shortage of HGV drivers.
On 22. March 2022 Tesla Grünheide factory official opening.
Hmm. Will reality catch up to the hype? 2022 Consumer Reports Annual Auto Issue rates Tesla - not great. Tesla rated the following: Model 3, 79 pretty good, Model S, 60 (not good) Model X 41 (horrible), Model Y, 59. All out of 100. Tesla made one great car and has gone down hill ever since. And they sold it with lots of California subsidies. If Europe is not willing to give the socialist special smooch of subsidies, Tesla is in trouble.
In a world where everyone still buys Apple Phones despite their lack of headphone jack? Yeah - I don't think Tesla will have problems.
Haha. Read up on who pays consumer reports bills.
Consumer Reports gets major funding from the Ford Foundation. Are you people really so full of hate for the most benign and moral major corporation on the planet? Tesla also just got several awards for being vehicle of the year. It is also the safest car of any type in a collision. It also has the highest owner satisfaction by a mile. I could go on and on, and you have to pick though slanted reports by biased media (a all media that depends on advertising revenue hates Tesla because they do not need to advertise -- fool) And in Consumer Reports, they are highly influenced by the Ford money.
So in your mind it makes sense that a company that literally never advertises is selling cars at over a 1.2 million a year rate with a six month wait for new orders while making lousy cars? What is driving sales of all those expensive Tesla cars if they are lousy and Tesla never advertises?
Hilarious that you are bitter about Tesla winning in the marketplace while also grousing about socialism.
@@tribalypredisposed Good post. I would guestimate Teslas 22 sales as 1.9 million cars this year.
I just can't wait for this scam to collapse finally... :)
Scam means it they're intentionally lying. These guys are just motards.
Me too. But the US financial balloon is here to stay. A company is worth what the stock market is willing to pay.
You are gonna have a long wait. Perhaps in the mean time you should short Tesla stock, so you can put your money where your mouth is: and lose it.
You are being sarcastic, right? (Gordon Johnson is that you?)
@@jansix4287 that's quite the oxymoron
The factory will close really soon because of the future lack of energy of germany without russia oil and gaz. 🤑
Germany had been receiving a lot of investment from big companies lately. Is it because the inflow of ukrainian & russian immigrants that will provide cheap labor?
U acting like this war started years ago
elon is used the the buerocracy, he is from california, it's the worst place for any company.
Telsa cars are horrible. Don't buy them.
They have terrible reliability.
They are the number one car company in customer complaints and dissatisfaction.
Their spare parts are tremendously expensive and take forever to get to you.
There are people literally on the waiting list waiting up to 6 months to get spare parts.
Their maintenance appointment are extremely hard to book.
Their range is abysmal.
Do not buy a car from this company even if your life depends on it.
You have been warned.
You will regret it. I guarantee you.
a troll from merc, beemer or VW
Soooo are you not satisfied with your purchase?
Haha
Things are so bad at Tesla that even with production increasing almost 100%, their order backlog is still 6 months to 1 year out depending on the model. Customer satisfaction scores are the best, so clearly things are terrible at Tesla.
You are funny
DW News keeps interrupting their interviews and is ignoring viewer critics. Typical German behaviour
Good.
Its good but he shouldn't have invested in the country which is involved in genocide of humans.
So. What country would have been better?
A war helps.
After that fiasco, only a fool would build in Germany.
I really can't listen to this woman's voice it's so annoying horrible voice fade. Don't DW train their anchors to speak properly?
