🇩🇪 Giga Berlin

Environment Minister Vogel said that approval for the installation of additional plant components and equipment for the paint shop, press shop, and body shop "is expected to be ready for issuance in the next few days."
Brandenburgs Environment Minister Vogel continued

"These facilities will be built within the already existing buildings"
Today, Wednesday Minister Vogel said in the parliament meeting about the final construction permit

We are in the "final examination"
Vogel continued

'It is also a matter of formulating ancillary provisions and conditions in evaluation of the documents - the minutes of the mammoth hearing of the critics alone comprise more than 1,300 pages'

IMO, the final construction permit is just a formality
BTW, there was zero mentionings of any delays in the Brandenburg parliament and I doubt that there are any worth mentioning at all

The opposite is IMO true, everything goes remarkably fast

Greenpeace confirmed what I've said for years now

VW's increase of BEVs is driven by e.g. dealership vehicle registrations and only partly by customers who bought it
spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unt…
According to the Greenpeace report VW has registered through Dealers in Europe

20.5 % of all BEVs &
21.7 % of all PHEVs

That's a total of just over 65,000 electrified cars they claim to have sold but didn't!

A scandal & another cheating of consumers, public, media & customers
Greenpeace states that VWs practice to register 65k electrified vehicles by dealers saved them €140m in fines

"Instead of fudging its climate balance sheet with self-registrations VW should quickly get out of the climate-damaging business with diesel & gasoline-powered cars"

Breaking:🇩🇪Law allows autonomous L4

Transportation Minister Scheuer "Germany will be world leader in autonomous driving"

"for motor vehicles with autonomous driving functions to be able to drive on public roads in regular operation locally limited to predefined operating areas"
The regulations apply to L4 fully automated driving. Vehicles can drive completely independently, but a driver must be on board & intervene. According to the Ministry of Transport, this makes Germany the first country to put cars without drivers into regular operation.
This could open a path for Tesla in Germany as one of the first countries to activate FSD L4

Audi CEO Duesmann confirmed all Audi BEVs will be called e-tron ... 🤔
Audi CEO Duesmann about the BEV Demand Audi has

"The number of battery electric vehicles is not yet large. The number of customers is increasing every day, but it is not yet jumping (...) We need a huge increase."
Duesmann continued

"In 2022, 2023, there will no longer be any excuse for not finding the right e-car. Sales aids are an important point here. Politicians can still accelerate the change through measures. I think that's the right strategy for the next federal government"
