According to Spanish press, Portugal is again in the running to receive a “huge productive core” from Tesla, after Valencia has been ruled out as a possible location for the “gigafactory”.
According to german news they had to let go hundreds of temporary workers, they cancelled the extra shifts and reduced the regular shifts from 3 to 2.5. Sorry I don’t have an english link. So it doesn’t look too good imho.
Musk is an expert in grabbing subsidies, so I wonder if there are any involved
Portugal’s probably gonna get the factory because lower wages and labour rights.
How has the factory in Berlin panned out? Has it turned into high quality jobs for locals? (I actually don’t know)
Las thing i read was that they are struggling finding workers that ar willing to work on such “high quality” jobs. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/tesla-vacancies-staff-shortage-berlin Tessla apparently is a shitty employer. Who would have guessed that.
I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than work for an American company
I have not idea if this is reliable, and I do despise Musk, but, considering that Portugal will soon start destroying mountains for lithium it would at least allow the country to benefit a bit from those lithium mines that by themselves won’t bring much.
