This little story caught my eye today. It's about the Tesla car company and it's decision to base a new manufacturing plant for it's electric cars in Germany (Berlin). Now, of course, we don't know what alternatives there may have been for this location and making cars in Germany is certainly something that wouldn't be bucking any trends but I can't help thinking that Brexit may well have ruled the UK out of this particular race as it will any pan-European project involving non-European corporations. I can't imagine corporate planners in any US, Japanese or Korean corporations wanting to invest in a country that is doing all it can to leave a community when any value there may be in being in Europe at all is to sell goods to that same community, simply wouldn't make sense? Perhaps its time to dust off my great-granddad's Irish birth-certificate now?
