"Musk said last night the new European Gigafactory battery facility would be based in the Berlin 'burbs, close to the site of the as-yet-unopened Willy Brandt Airport at Berlin Brandenburg. "
Hmmm, maybe Ol'd Musky could buy, complete and actually *use* the airport? If he made a deal with Apple, who seem to have loads of loose cash lying around not doing much, to supply them with back-up battery packs and things he might even not need to spend much of his own funds in doing so.
