Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier does not expect major problems with the planned settlement of Tesla in Brandenburg due to the corona crisis. “I do not expect that there will be any significant delays,” said the CDU politician. His ministry is in contact with the US electric car company. Nothing had changed in Tesla’s determination that the plans for the plant in Grünheide near Berlin would be continued. The prospect is for several thousand new jobs.

Tesla has meanwhile, according to the Brandenburg state government, made a third application for early approval of measures to prepare the construction at the planned location. “This will essentially involve the shallow foundations of certain buildings and the laying of supply lines above the groundwater table,” said Axel Steffen, head of the Environment Department at the Environment Ministry.
