Tesla\u2019s Gigafactory in Germany won approval from local officials on Friday, but the company still has to meet several requirements before the plant can begin production of vehicles, Reuters<\/em> reported<\/a>, including concerns about the plant\u2019s water use.<\/p>\n

Construction on the factory, which is nearly complete, was delayed<\/a> several times by complaints<\/a> from environmental groups in the area<\/a> who protested the factory\u2019s water use and potential disruption to wildlife. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the Gigafactory will use \u201crelatively little<\/a>\u201d water and has argued<\/a> that the forest that was cleared before the plant\u2019s construction was \u201cnot a natural forest\u201d since it had only been planted to make cardboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Musk first announced in 2019<\/a> that Tesla would locate its European gigafactory<\/a> \u2014 that he has called a \u201cmachine that builds the machine\u201d \u2014 in Germany. The company said it aims to produce as many as 500,000 cars a year in Germany and have 12,000 employees at the plant. According to The New York Times,<\/em><\/a> the plant is already assembling vehicle prototypes, but it\u2019s still unknown when it will begin constructing its electric vehicles there. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
