There are already four German provinces struggling to be the site of an American Tesla European plant for electric cars.
According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung , Thursday, Bavaria also entered the rivalry of the Saarland, Baden-Württemberg and Rhine-Pflaz.
Franz Josef Pschierer, Minister of Economic Affairs, told the Munich newspaper that he had already contacted the California company. Bavaria provides excellent conditions for the investment of Tesla, the Archbishop said.
The government recommends Tesla to the city of Hof in the northeastern part of the province, the German-Czech border region. The Bavarian Economic Development Agency has recently opened an office in the city and can help the investor in everything, the minister said.
Tesla is looking for a place to buy batteries in Europe, called Gigafactory.
President-CEO Elon Musk said in a June Twitter entry that Germany was among the prospects. The US business paper The Wall Street Journal, ending in late July, said that Tesla was negotiating with the Dutch authorities and two German provinces on investment.
The most well-known German sector analyst, Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, told the Süddeutsche Zeitung that despite the heavy losses of Tesla, it is worth fighting for investment, mainly due to battery production. Germany must strive to become attractive to international players in the battery industry - he was co-director of the Center Automotive Research - CAR of the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE).
It will only be two years from now that Tesla will remain intact or go bankrupt, "but if Musk succeeds in the breakthrough, it is the biggest," he said.
Tesla doubled its net loss in the second quarter, posted Wednesday's net loss of $ 718 million ($ 197.4 billion), compared with a year earlier $ 336 million, but its turnover increased by 40 percent to $ 4 billion. The company produced 53 339 wagons in three months and delivered 40 768-cat to customers.
