The billionaire CEO, who has been accused of ignoring US labor laws, is reportedly in talks with Turkey and Saudi Arabia about establishing EV factories abroad.
Meeting with Musk at Turkish House in Manhattan on Sunday, Erdoğan called on Tesla to set up its seventh factory in Turkey and proposed a separate collaboration between the country and Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX, according to the Turkish state media agency. In response, Musk reportedly declared Turkey “among the most important candidates” for Tesla’s next manufacturing facility.
By 2030, Tesla hopes to reach an annual sales mark of 20 million vehicles, nearly double the number sold in 2022 by industry leader Toyota. Tesla, by comparison, sold only about 1.3 million cars last year. So if Musk hopes to reach his lofty, end-of-decade goal, Tesla—which currently operates six plants across the US, Germany, and China, and plans to build another in Mexico—would need to construct more than a few new factories.
Enter Saudi Arabia: The autocratic monarchy hopes to make Tesla a key player in its long-term goal of diversifying its oil-gripped economy, focusing instead on manufacturing, renewable energy, and other industries. Thehas for years desired a Tesla plant in the country, given the impact such a move could have on the kingdom's emergent need for foreign investment.
