So when Tesla starts up production in eastern Germany at the end of the year (at Grünheide)....is there a looming water shortage in the local area?
N-TV discussed this at length today.
For several months, this topic has been openly discussed in the local area.
The wording of gov't statements? It kinda goes along the path of saying the plan is to produce X quantity, and the numbers show no issue at this point. If they were to expand? More discussion would occur, and someone might admit something at that point.
One obvious point which people generally miss? This region....about 20 miles east of the center of Berlin....is surrounded by a minimum of 20 lakes within a 20-mile circle. In the US sense of the term 'wet-lands'.....I'd probably give the region a 4-star rating. So it's hard for me to view this as a potential water shortage one day.
The fact that this continually gets dragged up? Various groups want Tesla to 'fail' or to be hindered (owing some environment group support or money to survive).
But here's the key thing....it's the first real business to invest tons of money to bring business into what was old DDR (East Germany), and it's hard to find working-class Germans who fret/worry or get negative about what Tesla is doing. Real jobs are coming, and it's the first group to show 'guts'.
Oh, and I should bring up this fact.....all of these German car companies who are short on chips and unable to go full-production? Tesla? He has his own chip capability.....so come December, as they assemble cars....they won't have the chip shortage problem.
