There are so many more issues. They have lots of plants that Tesla doesn't need or want. Even worse, you can't close down those plants because of unions and politics. Tesla doesn't want unions in general.
Battery being the limiting factor means that having more ability to produce cars is basically useless.
- rswail 6y agoThe fact that "Tesla doesn't want unions in general" is a sad anti-pattern. Unions are the way that labor negotiates with capital on an equal basis. The fact that the US has a badly flawed labor market where things that shouldn't be tied to employment (eg healthcare, pensions/retirement) are still tied to employment, is a bug, not a feature. Tesla will not be able to avoid "unions" if they manufacture in Europe. Neither will they be able to avoid standard employer contributions in the form of taxation and employment benefits, like minimum paid vacation and sick leave, etc.

- nickik 6y agoI was just explaining why Tesla will not buy other car makers in the US.
