Ford & GM (Holden) are ceasing car production in australia over the next couple of years. I'd love to see tesla sweep in and pick up all the manufacturing plants on the cheap and take over.
- prawn 13y agoI agree completely. Plus build a supercharger network down the East Coast and from Melbourne to Adelaide. Make driving the Great Ocean Road in an electric vehicle a "thing to do" when you're in Australia. We don't have quite the population of the US, but the potential for solar here is strong too. Not to mention that Woomera may align with Elon's SpaceX interests. And then, if we're still dreaming, a Hyperloop from Sydney to Melbourne, currently one of the most flown travel legs in the world.
- scott_karana 13y agoWhy are the plants closing? Ford of North America has been fairly profitable, so I hope it's not a labour pricing issue in Australia, or there'd be no point :(
