Elon Musk went to the Élysée Palace on Friday June 16 to discuss with Emmanuel Macron. The president wants to convince him to set up his future Tesla factory in the North, where 4 battery production projects have already been validated.
Acclaimed, even adored. In the afternoon of June 16 in Paris, the boss of Tesla made the show at the Vivatech show. But he hasn’t said a word about his coveted new European plant. France wants to install it in Hauts-de-France, but Spain is betting on the region of Valence. Today, Tesla has only one factory in Europe in Berlin (Germany). A new industrial site is in the pipeline for 4.5 billion euros of investment.
Northern France, the Battery Valley
To make him prefer France, the seduction operation is launched. Emmanuel Macron met Elon Musk again for the third time in six months. The stakes are high because the Tesla model Y is today the best-selling new car in the world. Hauts-de-France is notably in the process of creating the battery valley with several mega-factories specializing in electric cars.
