Originally, the production of electric cars was supposed to start at the beginning of July, but Tesla is now aiming for the end of the year. The start was postponed because the company added a battery factory to its application for approval. According to Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke, the decision on the final approval of the Tesla factory is conceivable this year. In the first phase, up to 500,000 cars per year are planned.
