Tesla also offered 9,000 locals tours of the factory and gave free rides in Teslas, according to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. If the factory gets approval to open, Tesla says it will eventually pump out 5,000 to 10,000 vehicles per week.

In 2020, he clashed with California authorities over coronavirus restrictions at a Tesla plant in the state, calling lockdowns “fascist” and threatening to move Tesla’s headquarters to Texas. Musk made it official this Thursday, revealing that Tesla would move its headquarters from Palo Alto to Austin. The company is also working on a gigafactory outside Austin. Activists and local residents have raised concerns about the environmental impact of the plant, which Tesla says will eventually make up to 10,000 vehicles per week. dpa/picture alliance via Getty I
