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”.
- Musk is an expert in grabbing subsidies, so I wonder if there are any involved 
- 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. 
- 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.
