Maybe you mean the new Chancellor, after Ms Dr Merkel ?

I think Berlin was planned to open about 6 months ago. Remember the save-the-bats, save-the-fireants, save-the forests, don-t wake up the lizards delays at the start? It only got worse after that....
By the way, I honestly, and seriously, think that it would be a great idea to invite the new German chancellor, and the Brandenburg and Berlin majors, to the Giga Austin opening. It would be a win-win PR masterstroke. If someone in the forum has access to Elon, and agrees it is a good idea, please tell him so.

_no_ SEC form 4’s for Friday as of yet, but Monday is less than 3 days away.
The Starlink launch out of Vandenberg was impressive this am of 52 satellites, i think V1.5 that i think do laser sat to sat relays , this looked like kinda polar orbit,
to rewatch you can fast forward throu the video
there will be a launch out of Cape Canaveral/Kennedy tonight around 7:30 EST (?0:30GMT?)
Next Spaceflight for exact times,
Another launch tuesday to resupply ISS and live feed of docking at ISS next day.
becoming “boringly routine” what is stunningly amazing, we are immersed in technological singularities that are becoming routine.

Yes, corrected, you are right - the one succeeding Merkel, Olaf Scholz.

So logically thinking....one should look at the track record of any company and see what they did.
Then look at the proposal of what they want to do next.
In Tesla's case for building new factory's....what have they done, and what do they plan on doing?
Weigh that against not doing anything.
Easy-peasy decision, it seems to me.
But I am just a random smart dog pecking away on a computer somewhere.

Similar to Apple it seems, and Germany stuck on Android so to speak.Good story. I parked at the Hamburg PA supercharger yesterday which isn't even operational yet, I was just there to get some lunch at the Wawa, when a guy in a blue M3 pulled up a minute later and parked there too. We both got to talking about our cars for like 20 minutes right there by the inoperative Tesla supercharger.
It's a Tesla thing, if you don't own one you wouldn't understand.
I switched from Android to iPhone this month to get all the Tesla features and considered that's why I wasn't getting FSD Beta or other features like the remove camera viewing in the App. (I missed this whole Apple movement as Intel wouldn't allow... being like the German Auto industry today.)
Apple has a similar cult-like crowd, doubt folks switch back there as well. Now I'll need a MAC to copy photo's off the phone. This parallels Vehicles + Powerwalls + Insurance - ya gotta get the total package to see all the benefits. No turning back. If they made an affordable iPhone, everyone would be onboard I think (another parallel for adoption of BEV vs ICE).
Meanwhile, seems Giga Germany is also having a migration issue. It's understandable, but they seriously need to wake up and smell the Costa Rican coffee if they want jobs. In their minds, there must be some hope for BMW and VW for them to hang on so long, as if delaying the opening will save them and allow some catchup. False hope IMO.
Yeah, I feel like we are getting close to the test of the "great filter"_no_ SEC form 4’s for Friday as of yet, but Monday is less than 3 days away.

Look at this tech demo for Unreal Engine 5. If you're bored, just skip ahead to the 7-minute mark.
Deep fake's will soon be undetectable to most people.
We need Elon's Neuralink or at least friendly AI to make it through

That's the crazy thing that 99.99% of people don't know is that Tesla has ALL the data, everything that car does they know about. Everything, every second, all the time. Incredibly powerful analytics that could be used for anything (including Insurance) and I don't see any other company having this type of data built into a vehicle.
Look at the screenshots of this free app. Santa Claus doesn't even have this much data on whether you've been naughty or nice: Open Source Teslalogger on Raspberry / Docker with ScanMyTesla integration
No, everything thus far has progressed under a temporary 'at risk' waiver/ permit. Should the official construction permit not get approved, Tesla would have to revert the entire site to its original condition.So, all Tesla ‘construction’ currently illegal, huh?
Or was that cat humor?

No SEC filing as of now, probably translates to zero selling yesterday. Including the closing cross. Tho it would have made a lotta sense ...
At the rate they are going, Austin will be ramping the Cybertruck before Berlin gets all their paperwork in order and deals with the 700th "environmental" lawsuit. I'll be pleasantly surprised if a single car is delivered out of Berlin in the 1st half of 2022
How aligned is the new VW CEO with the new Chancellor in Germany (personally or politically)?
Are we more or less favorable to a GigaBerlin opening now with these changes in the guard?

Do they actually have to deliver a car? Can't they just make pieces and assemble in Tilberg? And what defines a car? Maybe a thing without wheels is not a car, just saying...

My logical Ant mind can see no other way than this.
When FSD is level 5 No one with it will have car insurance. All the liability transfers to tesla. The Human Driver will only "need" insurance if FSD fails. What? So? Drivers/owners will get a quote based on how much they have to or decide to not use or must use the "manual mode."
So car insurance becomes a negligible cost. And this makes FSD so damn valuable. And Tesla will NOT sell a version of it. They will bake insuring their liability into the subscription. And thus the subscription should more logically be done on mileage and not time.
It will be cheaper to use fsd than to manually drive when insurance becomes baked in to the subscription. You might pay XX cents a mile for insurance, or use FSD for a fraction of that. Either way you will be paying Tesla. Cha CHING
I think there would have to be some really significant disclosures for this, both pre purchase and PRIOR to doing anything to a third party. But, I think Tesla is more interested in yes, getting into this business and owning it at least for themselves, for their customers vehicles. that is probably a nice little revenue stream.

Not really sure how much additional TAM and profitability they gained by introducing Tesla insurance, but offering it is further demonstrated that Tesla is playing Chess. Knowing FSD was coming, the need for coverage AND reduced rates that correlated to the statistically reduced injury rates was a critical aspect that Tesla couldn't gamble with someone else doing properly if at all. They needed their FSD destiny in their own hands. Now it is no longer an obstacle and I'm interested in the potential $ to be had with their data and AI prowess...Amazing how often Tesla goes vertical for the win!
