Elon Musk Annoyed That Tesla's German Factory Operating Licensing Falters

JAKARTA - Tesla Inc's chief executive, Elon Musk, took to Twitter to complain about the consultation process launched on Tuesday, November 2 for citizens in Germany to raise objections to a large factory he is building near Berlin.

The process, which was repeated over concerns the first time it wasn't compliant with regulations, is a bottleneck in Tesla's plans to start production of electric cars this month at their plant in Germany.

"Huh," Musk tweeted Tuesday in response to an article posted about the consultation. Musk later added in a second tweet, "What they are doing is not right."

The car and battery manufacturers are still awaiting approval from local authorities. Consultations last until 22 November.

In his two-year struggle to get production running at the site, Musk has expressed his frustration at Germany's laws and permit processes, arguing complicated planning requirements run counter to the urgency needed to combat climate change.
