Yes but the factory seems to be struggling to find staff, and the job adverts I see around Berlin suggest the hiring team is out of touch with what appeals to the German job market:

    That may be but the factory exists and operates. Any suggestion that it is somehow impossible to operate in the future is silly. Given that they once had 1700 people more its clear that its not the lack of hiring that the problem, but the lack of demand.

      The bet was't "can't operate in the future", it was:

        In fact, I'd be willing to bet we see higher growth of Tata than Telsa in Europe over the next 10 years.

        That's an irrelevant comparison.

          That xkcd would be more relevant if not for the ongoing collapse of Tesla sales across Europe despite a growing EV market.

          I'd make a slighly different bet than the person I quoted:

          Assuming Tesla remains under Musk's control, and absent WW3 or the technological singularity, or EU significantly changing size on that timescale, I expect Tata's sales in EU+EFTA+UK in 2035 will be more than 90% of Tesla's sales in same area in 2035.
