Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba yakwamanye amazwe, isikhulu esiphezulu sakwaTesla u-Elon Musk ushaqise izikhondlakhondla zemboni yezimoto lapho ekhetha idolobha elincane empumalanga yeJalimane ukuthi lakhe imboni yokuqala kaTesla yaseYurophu. Manje, usopolitiki owaheha ngempumelelo ukutshalwa kwezimali kukaMusk eGruenheide ufuna ukwenza le ndawo ibe isikhungo esibalulekile sokuhlinzeka ngezimoto zikagesi.

Kepha uTesla akayedwa eBrandenburg. Isikhondlakhondla samakhemikhali saseJalimane i-BASF sihlela ukukhiqiza izinto zokwakha ze-cathode kanye namabhethri agaywe kabusha eSchwarzheide esifundazweni. I-Air Liquide yaseFrance izotshala ama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-40 (cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-48) ekuhlinzekweni kwendawo komoyampilo ne-nitrogen. Inkampani yaseMelika iMicrovast izokwakha amamojula ashesha ukushaja amaloli namaSUV eLudwigsfelde, eBrandenburg.

UMusk uthe iBerlin Gigafactory ingase igcine isiyimboni enkulu yamabhethri emhlabeni. Izifiso zakhe ezinkulu kanye nalokhu kutshalwa kwezimali kukhulisa amathemba eBrandenburg okuba isikhungo sezimoto zikagesi, okungase kunikeze izinkulungwane zemisebenzi. Phakathi neMpi Yezwe II nangemva kokuwa koDonga LwaseBerlin, iBrandenburg yalahlekelwa iningi lemboni yayo esindayo. Ungqongqoshe wezoMnotho eBrandenburg State uJoerg Steinbach uthe: "Lona ngumbono engiwulandelayo. Ukufika kukaTesla kwenze izwe libe ngenye yezindawo okulindeleke ukuthi izinkampani zizikhethele izimboni zazo. Uma kuqhathaniswa nangaphambili, sithole i-Consulting eyengeziwe amathuba okutshala imali eBrandenburg, futhi konke lokhu kwenzeka ngesikhathi sobhadane."
USteinbach uthe engxoxweni ukuthi imishini yokukhiqiza amabhethri ezokwakhiwa efektri yakwaTesla eBerlin izoba ku-inthanethi cishe eminyakeni emibili. Ngaphambi kokukhiqiza amabhethri eJalimane, ukugxila kukaTesla kwakuwukuhlanganisa iModel Y embonini yaseGruenheide. Imboni kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukukhiqiza iModel Y maphakathi nonyaka, futhi ekugcineni izoba namandla okukhiqiza izimoto ezingu-500,000 ngonyaka.

Nakuba inqubo yokwakhiwa kwefekthri ishesha kakhulu eJalimane, uTesla usalindele imvume yokugcina kahulumeni waseBrandenburg ngenxa yezinselelo zomthetho ezivela ezinhlanganweni eziningana zezemvelo. USteinbach uthe "akazange akhathazeke nakancane" ngokugunyazwa kweBerlin Super Factory, futhi ukubambezeleka kwezinye izinqubo zokulawula akusho ukuthi ifektri ngeke ithole imvume yokugcina. Uchaze ukuthi isizathu esenza ukuthi uhulumeni enze lokhu yingoba uqhakambisa ikhwalithi kunesivinini sokuqinisekisa ukuthi noma yisiphi isinqumo singahlangabezana nezinselelo zomthetho. Akucaci ukuthi ukuhlehla ekupheleni konyaka odlule kungase kubangele ukuthi ifektri ibambezeleke ukusebenza, kodwa uphinde wathi uTesla akakakabonisi izimpawu zokuthi ukukhiqizwa ngeke kuqale ngoJulayi.

USteinbach ukhuthaze ukusondela kukaBrandenburg eBerlin, abasebenzi abanamakhono kanye nezimboni zamandla ahlanzekile ezanele, okwasiza ukukhuthaza ukutshalwa kwezimali kukaTesla eJalimane ekupheleni kuka-2019. Kamuva, wasiza uTesla ukwakha ithimba elikhethekile lokuxazulula izinkinga inkampani ebhekene nazo, kusukela emanzini. ukuhlinzekwa kwemboni ekwakhiweni kwezindawo zokuphuma zemigwaqo emikhulu.

USteinbach uphinde wachaza inqubo yezwe eyinkimbinkimbi yokugunyaza uMusk nabasebenzi bakhe, wathi "ngezinye izikhathi udinga ukuchaza isiko lenqubo yethu yokugunyaza, ethintwa kakhulu ukuvikelwa kwemvelo." Njengamanje, ngenxa yamalulwane alala ebusika kanye nezibankwa zesihlabathi ezingavamile, ingxenye yomsebenzi wefektri yase-Tesla yaseBerlin idinga ukuhlelwa kabusha. USteinbach Steinbach ungusokhemisi osesebenze kwa-Schering Pharmaceuticals iminyaka engaphezu kweyishumi.

USteinbach uzame konke okusemandleni akhe ukwenza umsebenzi wakhe kahle. Uveze nezinhlelo zosizo inkampani engazifaka izicelo futhi isize ngokuthi ixhumane nezinhlaka zabasebenzi zendawo ukuze zixhase ukuqashwa. USteinbach uthe: "Iningi lemboni libuka iBrandenburg nalokho esikwenzayo. Lo msebenzi uthathwe njengohamba phambili."

KuTesla, iBerlin Gigafactory ibalulekile. Njengoba iVolkswagen, iDaimler kanye neBMW benweba uhlelo lwezimoto zikagesi, lokhu kuyisisekelo sohlelo lokunwetshwa kukaMusk e-Europe.

EJalimane, imboni entsha kaTesla yaqinisekisa umsebenzi phakathi nalokhu kucindezeleka. Ngonyaka odlule, ukudayiswa kwezimoto zaseYurophu kwehle irekhodi. Ngaphansi kwengcindezi yokugxekwa ngokuhamba kancane kwezimoto zikagesi, uhulumeni kaShansela waseJalimane u-Angela Merkel unikeze uMusk igatsha lomnqumo, kanti uNgqongqoshe Wezomnotho waseJalimane uPeter Altmaier naye wathembisa uMusk noma yiluphi usizo oludingekayo ekwakhiweni nasekusebenzeni kwale fektri.
