Musk was really killed by the Germans this time! As we all know, before coming to Shanghai to build a factory, Tesla was once on the verge of bankruptcy, and finally had to come to us for help.
It is also relying on China's speed that Tesla's Shanghai super project began to produce the Model3 only 11 months after the foundation was laid, which created Musk's current status as the world's richest man.
But I have to say that although Musk is the richest man, he is still too naïve to think that Tesla's miracle in Shanghai can be copied.
Elon Musk, who was successfully overwhelmed, with $4.9 billion, opened the construction of Tesla's European Gigafactory, and the location was Germany, the strongest manufacturing power in Europe and recognized by the world.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very bone. Tesla's German factory has been built since November 2019, and in two years, the factory has only barely built a shell, and it is still 18,000 miles away from actually starting.
This is not that Tesla is not good, but the Germans are too cunning, Tesla selected this piece of land, originally has an economic forest, belongs to public resources, if you want to cut down the factory, you must first pay money.
After that, it was difficult to pay a huge fine, thinking that the construction could be started, and then there was a problem, saying that there were unexploded World War II shells under the ground, and it was necessary to spend money to find professional people to clean up.
After a period of time, it was difficult to clean up the bomb, and it turned out that winter had arrived, and the snake under the ground was going to hibernate, and in order to protect the ecological environment, it could not start.
And things like this, basically every day in Tesla's German factory, just like this for more than 20 months, Tesla's German factory, not to mention the start of construction of cars, not even a bathroom has been built.
With the same money, the same time, pick a few cities in China, and now the factories have been put into production, maybe the first cars have been delivered.
And Musk's delusion of replicating Chinese speed abroad is a bit naïve. Today's Chinese speed, a wonder of the world, once took only 9 hours to complete the transformation of the railway.
Dozens of construction machines are running at the same time, thousands of railway workers are working tirelessly, the construction scene is comparable to a movie blockbuster, and in this short 9 hours, they miraculously completed the railway transformation.
Looking at Vulcan Mountain and Thunder God Mountain during the epidemic period, how many countries can do this speed?
