Re: as long as it is not next to Tesla Berlin

The location game isn’t remotely over, this is just the opening shot. Several locations in Germany have previously been lobbying the EU for it to be “in Germany”. But as soon as the result is announced, the game changes. The other regions start lobbying against the subsidies instead of for them, and the Commission has to sign off on the subsidy. The legal challenges will be going in.

It still might be there, but really the game has barely begun…..buy popcorn; this will be a long decade to be fought over.
