Factory tour of the new Tesla plant in Grünheide near Berlin. Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet will enjoy a very exclusive factory tour on Friday. Because he gets the information from none other than Tesla boss Elon Musk personally. Laschet advocates fewer bureaucratic hurdles in Germany. And with a few comments he makes in English, the Tesla boss is amused. Especially when it comes to the future of the car. With his remark, Laschet alluded to the fact that some scientists are betting on the future of hydrogen cars. Not an issue for Musk, of course. He wants to have around 500,000 electric cars produced annually in Grünheide. And hopes that it can start as early as October.
