The topic of the day: Tesla builds in Brandenburg
It is great news for Brandenburg, but a bad one for the German competition: Tesla is planning a new large factory south of Berlin. There are batteries for electric cars to be manufactured - and the model Y. Whether the compact SUV can conquer the market in Germany? Read an analysis here.
Why company boss Elon Musk decided for the small town Grünheide and not for Berlin as a location, you can read here.
Prime Minister Woidke has several explanations as to why Tesla chose his state.
Whether actually up to 10,000 jobs arise, is questionable. Because Musk is a fan of robots. In any case, his announcement is an attack on the German auto industry. The pressure on BMW and others is increasing to rebuild itself from scratch. Here is the comment of my colleague Simon Hage.
A portrait of Elon Musk can be found here (it comes from our archive and was published in October 2018).
The number of the day: 100
The Netherlands pull the emergency brake in the fight against nitrogen oxides: they are the first country in Europe to set a speed limit of 100 on their motorways. Exceptions should be between 19 and 6 o'clock. But only for those sections, on which so far during the day a maximum speed of 130 was allowed.
