neighbors, your nets, and the rest of the 4 weeks now and with that you had up to date, but to stick around for business as of next on how to last week of factories may be harming the branch that's off to the break. don't forget to get more news on dw dodge home and for us and forcing me to add your newest number, such as far as thank you for watching the people in trucks in judge west trying to feed the city center. the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 130000000 people us we

of mine because no one should have to make up your own mind dw may feel mine's the the one you think electric vehicle is you think password and its list ma'am you on musk who made electric cars cool tassels worth over 700000000000 dollars and is one of the largest e car manufacturers in the world. but problems and it's big factories around the globe are raising eyebrows. water and labor are both big issues. we looked at germany, the us and mexico and ask, is the push to drive greener vehicles fueling various crises? we want to know what's the true cost of tests? what tesla is known as a disruptor in the auto industry. it's giga. factories are massive compounds like here in grenada suite, the village,

about an hour of sites for when the facilities are designed to allow for faster and more streamlined production of tesla ams, to produce there's like the vehicles. but all this heavy manufacturing on one site means concentrated water consumption. the tesla gig of factories started in the us where the company was founded that in china and auto manufacturing dry and germany most recently, texas, jacob roland was a big step that was basically how so saying, we're not scared, dan. hi, this is a managing director at web bush securities and investment bank faced in the west. i reached out to him because he's a big time task for watcher. we're going for you received his beam, that'd be here and others. and that's part of the most month, which is hard to argue with. if you look a, which been accomplished, blast jackets, while the joke in berlin at the time was that most noted tech notes and just wondering an excuse to visit some of the cities most famous clubs. the location was excellent from us for many reasons. the factory was built at breakneck speed,

especially for germany, where your rock receive approvals and permitting to move at a glacial pace. it opened its stores in 2022. germany has a long history of auto manufacturing, so one resource at high as an abundance, as well trained workers on top of location, smack dab in the middle of the you at the end of the day, the center of the auto industry nachos in europe. you know, many could say globally, so bro, in made a ton of sense, as well as the logistics of making cars in china and ship it in to europe, which would just go disaster. that's why per, when has been so important terms that spider web logistically getting it throughout europe as well as from a cost perspective can be significantly less now. but one resource that is not as abundant as one might think is water, which is apparently laughable to you on must back in 2021. when he was confronted

with the idea that his factory might contribute to water problems, a very blessed if that's your internet. so watch sports look around you, but the look what the consumer watches for further development. none of this is completely wrong. it's like water everywhere here, a little stream like a desert to you know, to, to somebody states. i have a just a, have some, some understanding for him because so that it's so sold off of a bid to this price. this is martin, puts his work, looks at waterway ego systems and management the bowman. how your billing bet, brenda. yeah, we have uh, 3000 dates. so if you arrive by a plan, you would see like several. well, uh, so we are rich in lakes. uh, but we are poor as well for resources. yeah. so this seems to be covered pictorial . so despite being known for lakes and rivers, canals and streams, ground water levels, and this part of germany has been declining for years due to climate change. so

even as the needs of the area are increasing water levels are sinking. and now on the edges of the most populated city in germany, there's a mass of giga factory and that concentrated production, it also means concentrated water consumption. not to mention this area and growing honda is actually in a water protection zone and there's another problem, the kind of soil that exists in this part of the country, which is really sandy and almost like a sieve. while it allows rain water to quickly reach aquifers, the sandy soil also makes it easy for pollutants to drain down and contaminate drinking water. in case such point attends would to the ends of the excess a. it could be that's a spoiled and make an use of both of drinking water purposes, especially as most part it tends to kind of be about say, but the bible to all my company degraded sense the completion of the factory. there's been intense scrutiny. german magazine stan reported about a battery accident starting a fire and contaminated water seeping into the ground. or in 2023. the magazine

also reported about an illegal filling station that leads to $150.00 leaders of diesel quote uncontrollably. these are just a few of the reported instances. authorities also seem slow to criticize the company and only for these cases involving many different chemicals, have state environmental authorities ordered soil samples to be taken. but is this simply a culture clash between an american company and german for your ok receive? so the classic all american approach. so oh, i'm a, i'm out of the set law. i'm fine, westwood. i'm using uh, an area. and then if i, i've been using it, then i move for about a swelled up. so, so this is all, there's no possible sense or your so be uh, limited space. yeah. you have to deal with the more carefully but so the space and the resources. and that's why we have these sort of typically, um, yeah, freights the my medical regulations. it would only be fair to mention that the 1st

company to build a factory and a water protection area in germany was mercedes benz, about a half an hour away from the tesla site. but it's not just a us 1st germany issue around the world's customer has a rocky history with environmental regulations. the l. a times reported about fines for a california facility amounting to $275000.00 from the federal environmental protection agency. it's not only environmental issues that the various tests of factories have in common, but also building in areas with water problems kind of fall now, which is to worldwide knowing, follow the problems, takes us the same um and also in sign on and young, you know, some higher even there is, let's say, you know what, the volume of the quantity is so bad that, uh you use another bill to france of visual drinking. lots of the out the, let's look on the other side of the us border tussle is currently planning to build another dig. a factory here in the state is more heavily on mexico. that plant

could open in the coming years. but one big problem in february 2020 to the state where that facility will be located, declared a state of emergency due to the drought. there were 2 of the 3 dams that supply the metropolis of monterey recording. historically low levels, but as of now tunnel says i'm still moving forward with the facility in web only on the mexico is important because of the low cost. sure. uh, to produce what i believe will be a sub $30000.00 vehicle. next goods, really the only choice, and that's why we just degree where it is relative to us and makes it a ton of sense. this area outside of monterey, like the area outside of berlin, has an existing automotive sector with companies that supply american manufacturers like this one. the company key is already operating in the state for example. so tesla could also be looking to court talent and take advantage of the infrastructure already in place. 80 percent of the exports of adult industry goes

to the united states. and he, he's around $15000000000.00 us dollars per year of a production and exports of out of pots and some production of beatrice. then, well, montoya heads the automotive cluster of leon. and in comparison with, with mexico, a noble young is one of the main estates that for the uses a car setting of the box. montoya says water concerns are quote, challenging for existing companies. the points to new plans on the horizon and already in the works. the governor of the web only on unveiled a $1250000000.00 investment plan designed to ensure the states water supply through 2050 to invest in water infrastructure like new pipelines and a new damn. there's more water coming to the city and the state governments on the, on the, however, the plan for the next 20 years to,

to supply that. what are that? not only that companies propose for the population with needs for the next 20 but nearly 5000000 people live in metro area. monterey, there has already been water supply rationing and recent years with media reporting that some water truck delivery drivers have even been threatened with kidnapping in a time or climate change is adding even more stress here in germany. tesla's environmental record is raising concerns about an activist. environmental is always been a push pull for tests so that they need to navigate. clearly the green need churn terms, go into active vehicle july, right, or spotlight. but it's a work in progress. so how do these brace, engine planned build ups the into the global test strategy? the plan facility in mexico and the giga factory, build up in germany will help us look, compete on costs, even us traditional carmakers turn to use. and while chinese companies like b y,

d start to ramp up outside of china. but let's look a global sales test when they have brand recognition, especially in the west. the china is gaming with b y, d, making massive strides in 2022. their sales more than tripled compared to 2021 and with german carmakers dw lagging behind. and 3rd place you id. they continue to compete with for maybe a global share perspective. but when you think electric vehicles, you think tasa, and that's been a big part of their success. right now it's still test is world everyone else is paying rent relative to globally. now to dublin, down on that. that's why germany, what they've done to giga berlin's shown works. so not only are germans and americans making test was they're buying them to over half a 1000000 were bought in the us last year. but another big buyer is sweden. so in

these countries where tesla's are parts for the cars are made or serviced, there's one rest like in sweden where workers are protesting. swedish tests and mechanics have blocked off the job. though their number is small, the movement has sparked solidarity efforts across not only sweden, but also denmark. doc workers are refusing to unload test flows and for weeks the postal service refused to test for deliveries. the swedish mechanics want the company to sign a collective bargaining agreement, which would let them negotiate for higher wages, pensions, and the like. workers' rights are an issue in germany to german media has reported numerous concerns among giga, berlin, employees, about working conditions. from the usa, especially from the c o, probably comes a lot of pressure to, to deliver numbers to the, to could use cause and to sell those costs. and yeah, and in the end to provide for the numbers for the sale. what else? right. so, so that the stock goes up and so you can buy in of

a way to or whatever you want. good. not, hey, man is a member of the id, mental union in germany and was employed by tesla muscle company has so far, blocked unionization, that it's factories, but it works. council is in place. i get factory, berlin of the non union nature. it's been part of the success of the past. i've been there not. i wouldn't say i have the overhanging that some of these other automakers have by having meaning. and that's really how much built it. and i don't see that changing tensions by u a. b and others that will go after him, but they going to be of the different drugs. and that's been a big part of their success being non union. we wanted to know what did the people who live in, in near, good high to think about the factory and the working conditions. you get a lot of people in really quickly. it's going to be a little stress for everybody. oh it's, it is difficult. i mean, but i do think that it is like, do you think problem stuff to solve be sold in the future?

yeah, i have a good america. so you didn't talk from cock martin for fun. does the office for that event? you can, you, i, in the, by test i offer to the and so forth with all of you at least 6, i'll go way out on the small bit supplies and tesla made a world wide offset around 12 and a half $1000000000.20 but what is the true cost of buying $1.00 of these futuristic cool all electric vehicles? well, hosting a giga factory brings jobs, but also working conditions that can lead to injuries like here in germany. and a factory with such a large footprint can also stream local resources and make regions experiencing drought face, even greater limitations. we did reach out to tesla for interviews and for comment . they did not respond to those requests. tesla has been an innovator for years, so there's still room to improve. and water usage or working conditions could actually be another frontier that this american company confidently and strides

into the c w. this is ebony also is available to them and it hasn't made up in some sense the l g b t q marketing can get people worked up to that means that when some people see or ice cream, they throw it in the trash for others by a whole truckload more and more companies are scrapping l t p t q ad campaigns because of right wing trolling. should they stand firm instead that and more coming up this week on made why exactly is us real good kid rock shooting big hands.
