Tesla's Water Crisis in Brandenburg as China's Dreame Eyes Expansion
Tesla's water-intensive operations in Brandenburg have indeed sparked a shortage, while a Chinese competitor, Dreame, eyes the same location. The AfD's stance has shifted, and job promises remain unmet, sparking debate.
Tesla's factory has led to severe water shortages in the area, a consequence of the company's settlement. Meanwhile, the Chinese technology giant Dreame, led by CEO Yu Hao, has plans to build its own electric car factory nearby. The company aims to produce ultra-luxury electric vehicles, with production set to begin in 2027.
Initially opposed to Tesla's party city, the AfD party now rails against a Chinese competitor. The party's shift in stance has raised eyebrows. Tesla had promised to create 40,000 jobs but has only generated 12,000 so far, leaving some residents and politicians wary of repeating past mistakes.
Stephan Wende of the Left party cautions against repeating Tesla's past mistakes, while Alexander Schirp of business associations dismisses objections to Dreame's plan as 'bizarre'. Schirp argues that Germany, currently in recession, needs every investment it can get. However, the development of the Oder-Spree district as a health and tourism region may be sacrificed for the automotive industry, with any available job in the sector being welcomed.
The potential arrival of Dreame's electric car factory in Brandenburg raises questions about water resources, job creation, and regional development. As the debate continues, Germany's recession and the need for investment remain key factors in the discussion.
