According to the latest news from the local government in Germany, the approval test process of the first factory of the American electric car manufacturer Tesla in Europe is entering the final stage.
Axel Steffen, head of the Environment Department, said thursday on the State Legislature's Environment Committee: "We are deeply involved in the actual final review of the approval decision, but today cannot tell you when you can reach a conclusion." There is still a need for coordination regarding the final decision.
According to the local environmental department, Tesla submitted a request for a postponement of testing before Christmas because, according to Tesla, the system's functional tests "have not yet produced satisfactory results." Expert opinions on how to deal with the incident are now available to the authorities and are under review. Reviews, including hazardous waste discharges, are still being processed, but results are expected soon.
Tesla is building a car factory in Grünheide, near Berlin, and plans to build another battery factory there. However, due to the local environmental protection department and other sanitation organizations, the factory has been slow to start production. Tesla boss Elon Musk had hoped production would start last year. However, due to joining the construction of the battery factory, new approvals are required. Environmental groups are concerned about negative environmental impacts, particularly about drinking water in the region, which Tesla has denied.
According to the local environmental department, Tesla submitted all the missing documents for approval before Christmas, and now Tesla needs to be patient.
Tesla's German factory is understood to employ around 1,800 people by Christmas, and the first phase of production will begin with around 6,000. In the future, the factory will employ about 12,000 people and is expected to produce up to 500,000 electric vehicles per year.
There have been previous reports that Tesla's German factory will start production this week, and now it seems that it is out of play, but Tesla's new factory in the United States has begun production. For Tesla, which created a new sales record last year, the biggest problem at present is insufficient production capacity, unable to deliver new cars to buyers in time, if the production capacity is sufficient, how many Tesla can sell in a year, many people think that there will be a lot, unimaginably much!
