Elon Musk in Italy, because we can win the race for the new Tesla- Corriere.it factory

On Thursday, Elon Musk met with Foreign Minister Tajani and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. On Friday, he continued his journey to Paris. France has long been trying to attract Tesla’s interest in opening its next European factory. Tesla, which boasts the world’s leading electric car sales, is valued at $820 billion, more than all other automakers combined Tesla isn’t just about electric cars. a pioneer in various industries, including autonomous driving, solar panels, robots, batteries, energy storage, charging stations and supercomputers such as Dojo. Accept it or not, Tesla is shaping the future of the automotive industry and beyond. Until a few years ago, Tesla cars were considered luxury products, with prices exceeding 100,000 euros. Today, in the United States, it is possible to buy a Tesla car starting from 23,000 euros. This revolution, although already underway, is difficult for many to understand. just a matter of time.

Who invests

The future led by Tesla has been understood in China, the United States, and also in Mexico, where a new Tesla factory will soon arise. Germany also welcomed the first and only Tesla factory in Europe. Fast growing electric car company and needs new factories, workers, engineers and much more. Its cars, which according to the European body Euro NCAP are the safest of all, and its factories, among the safest in the sector, are attracting the attention of numerous governments around the world, including India, Indonesia and South Korea. In Europe, the competition to host the next Tesla factory mainly between France and Spain. Whoever succeeds takes home billions of euros in investments, tens of thousands of jobs and an impressive induced activity. Furthermore, the arrival of the Tesla brand in a country presents a unique opportunity to attract other companies. A recent independent survey revealed that engineering graduates primarily aspire to work for Tesla and SpaceX (both led by Elon Musk).

The automotive supply chain in Italy and its excellences

It’s Italy? Italy may be able to present a convincing proposal. The automotive sector in Italy is one of the most important. Italians not only know how to produce cars, but in terms of components, assembly and engineering they have nothing to envy to other European countries. Italy is one of the main exporters of automotive components in Europe and Idra Group, an Italian excellence, produces special machines for Tesla, unique of their kind worldwide. Comau, an Italian robotics company, has long collaborated with Tesla. Without forgetting the Italian excellence in the construction of factories and complex infrastructures, supported by a long tradition in the sector. Between Friday morning and Saturday morning, two regions contacted me to ask how they can offer themselves to host the Tesla factory. Italy has desire and desire for the future. Proposing means getting to work together: government, regions, politics, categories that represent, protect and promote workers and businesses. After the summer Tesla could make a decision on where to choose the location of the next factory. Italy can decide to be a spectator or to play its own game and make its own proposal. Elon Musk loves Rome, Italy, our history and culture, he often quotes phrases in Latin. Today the one I most feel like addressing to those with decision-making powers in Italy is “carpe diem”.
