Tesla’s Musk eyeing Germany production debut in NovemberBloombergTesla Inc CEO Elon Musk plans for the electric automaker’s plant near Berlin to start producing vehicles as early as next month, even as the US company still awaits final approval for the project, which has been delayed by legal challenges. The plant would probably source batteries from Tesla’s facilities in China until a cell factory in Germany is completed, he said. Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk arrives on stage to greet visitors to an Oktoberfest-style event hosted by the automaker in Gruenheide, Germany, on Saturday. Environmental authorities have vowed to make a decision on final approval only after that process ends. Tesla has said that while the system is designed to someday handle trips without driver intervention, it is not yet capable of rendering Tesla vehicles autonomous.
