Really good news, and I think we finally have an answer to why there has been so much production equipment stored at Giga Texas for quite a while

From a Joe video. wouldn't surprise me if that is a entire next gen prototype production line sitting right there, we have seen more stuff being stored there but hardly any being removed

It might start to get assembled once Cybertruck and second Model Y lines go into production

Wouldn't be my choice, but I don't know what trade deals Turkey has for cars & battery storage with rest of Europe/Middle East & Africa etc. Geographically it is a bridge. Turkey has high inflation, I suspect that would make manufacturer's jobs harder.

Turkey is a vehicle exporter to the EU, Ford Transit vans especially as I recall. They probably have a lot of suppliers nearby, but not to the level of Berlin.

Recently Turkey started importing Berlin Model Ys which may have affected balance of trade figures (partially, couldn't account for more than a small fraction). Buying cars is a way to convert a falling currency into something real and many imported makes have probably benefitted.


Translated:-
Imports exploded, the 'deficit' in automobiles exceeded 3 billion dollars ‼️

🛑 In the first 7 months, automobile exports increased by 22.99% to 6.3 billion dollars, and imports increased by 149.05% to 9 billion 351 million dollars.

🛑 Foreign trade in automobiles, which had a surplus of 1 billion 364 million dollars in 7 months last year, went into a minus of 3 billion 54 million dollars this year.

🛑 The total automotive sector, including commercial vehicles and the supply industry, had a foreign trade deficit for the first time in 8 years due to the impact of automobiles. At the end of 8 months, the deficit was 311.5 million dollars.

🛑 The main reason for the shortage in automobiles
It was Germany, Spain and China.
