After a meeting with the French president, Musk said he hoped Tesla would make a major investment in France in the future.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 16, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently flew to Paris to meet with French President Jean-Claude Macron to discuss the possibility of Tesla investing in France. It is reported that Tesla intends to build a car factory in France, which will be the company's second plant in Europe.

Tesla considered setting up his first large European car factory in France, but eventually chose Germany. At present, Tesla's super factory in Berlin has reached the level of producing 5000 cars a week, but the company still has room to expand its capacity.

CTOnews.com noted that Tesla's goal is to increase his annual global production capacity from 2 million vehicles to 20 million vehicles by the end of the century. To achieve this goal, the company needs to build more super factories. So while Tesla still has room for growth in Berlin, it is likely to need another factory in Europe.

It seems that France wants to fight for this opportunity. After meeting with President Macron, Musk told local media that he hoped Tesla would make a "significant investment" in France in the future. Musk also plans to hold talks with French Finance Minister Bruno Lemerre to discuss whether Tesla can enjoy the tax breaks offered by France for new investment in green technology.
