Made there, not necessarily sold there.

And average wages for car workers are higher in Germany.

But apart from that, you were spot on.

Most of the parts for the German cars are produced in the old Eastern Bloc.

Tesla’s not shelved, just not going to be built in the U.K.

HTH.

Well, if you are going to build a huge European mega car factory, it would make sense to build it in an EU country, one with lots of existing car factories and suppliers, lots of skilled car workers sitting on the dole, one with lots of motorways linking it directly to other EU countries.

Or you could choose a country outside of the EU, that is an overcrowded island, with a terrible clogged road network, and fewer available workers due to record low unemployment rates.

Thank god for that. A huge Tesla plant would just take up valuable space and labour from the jam and biscuits industry, the real deal in the future uk economy.

Real deal is economy based on low taxes for the super rich, global money laundering through "financial services" and prime London property sales to despots and crime king-pins.
