Notable amongst the UK's list of 8 freeports is the absence of Bristol / Avonmouth (see Freeports: What are they and where will they be?). That suggests to me that any near term notion of the UK getting a full-scale Tesla factory is gone. Previously I thought that unlikely until after the second European factory had been selected (probably Poland or Czech or similar) and this tends to confirm it. If Tesla do sub-scale factories ever (c. 250k-500k/yr) then maybe UK might get a look-in. The latest Brexit developments where UK is now, for the second time, in flagrant breach of international law (EU postpones setting date for ratifying Brexit trade deal) and with the so-called "Loyalist" * paramilitiaries renouncing the GFA (Brexit: loyalist paramilitary groups renounce Good Friday agreement) are also extremely problematic in creating a good atmosphere for any investment into the UK. (* "Loyalists" these are pro-UK ones, whereas "Republicans" are the pro-Irish ones)
