Despite the massive decline in new registrations for US electric car makers Tesla in Germany, the Brandenburg state government is confident.
“38 countries are now supplied from Grünheide, including many in the Arab world and also Taiwan,” said Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) of the “Märkische Oderzeitung”. “This puts the Tesla factory more resistant to fluctuations on the European and German market.”
E-car market is increasing-Tesla registrations decrease
The company of Tech billionaire Elon Musk lost around 58 percent of its new registrations in Germany in the first half of the year compared to the same period and came to 8,890 vehicles – this is a market share of 0.6 percent. The market for electric cars increased by a good 35 percent, but with other brands.
Tesla plant manager André Thierig had previously been optimistic and referred to the fact that the plant should supply markets inside and outside of Europe and that new markets were to be added. Tesla does not comment on concrete numbers for Grünheide.
The Gigafactory in Grünheide near Berlin opened in 2022. It is the only E-Auto factory in Tesla in Europe and the largest industrial employer in Brandenburg and the regional economy. Around 11,000 employees work there. Because the factory is partly in the water protection area, there is criticism of environmentalists who rejects Tesla.
Woidke: Talks with new investors
Brandenburg’s head of government sees Tesla as a model: “I am convinced that Tesla in Grünheide has a good present and future. We benefit from the factory,” said Woidke. “The record time in which the major project in Brandenburg was implemented is also a big plus in conversations that we have with potential new investors.” But he did not give any details. “We are in good conversations.”
Musk, who advised US President Donald Trump, encountered increasing criticism with right-wing political views. That triggers protests. Woidke was surprised: He had experienced him very differently, “especially with regard to his basic attitude on questions of climate and environmental protection”.
