Tesla manager overseeing Berlin gigafactory construction departs: Report
FRANKFURT: Tesla's executive overseeing construction of the electric
carmaker's "gigafactory" in Berlin has left his position, a source familiar
with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.
Tesla declined to comment on whether Evan Horetsky, head of engineering,
procurement and construction at the German plant, was still with the US
company. Horetsky could not be reached for comment.
According to Horetsky's Linkedin profile, he directed teams leading project
design, construction and technical programme management across Tesla's global
factories and energy products.
German broadcaster RBB was first to report the departure. RBB said there
would be no delays in the factory's planning application process as a result
of Horetsky leaving.
The Berlin plant will be the fourth Tesla Gigafactory - producing cars and
batteries - and the first in Europe.
The carmaker announced plans last November to build the Gigafactory in
Gruenheide, outside Berlin with plans to have the factory up and running by
Jul 1, 2021 to start building its electric crossover, the Model Y.
However, the company has been engaged in a lengthy environmental audit, a
time-consuming process that is likely to mean construction will take much
longer than its Shanghai Gigafactory, which went from greenfield site to
building cars in just 11 months.
Horetsky hinted at pressures in a tweet dated Oct 11.

"Credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and
again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming," he said in
the Tweet.
"...if he fails, at least (he) fails while daring greatly," the tweet also
said, attributing the quote to Theodore Roosevelt.
At the beginning of October, Tesla set aside three days of hearings to sound
out locals and potential critics of the factory.
The consultation process took eight days just to lodge 414 complaints and
observations, which will be reviewed by local planning authorities.
Locals were concerned that the Gigafactory, especially once it started
building battery cells, would be a drain on local water resources and wanted
assurances from Tesla that consumption would be limited.
Tesla, for its part has agreed to cut water consumption to 1.4 million cubic
meters, down from 3.3 million cubic meters.
Berlin's Tagesspiegel newspaper said that on Oct 16, Tesla was forced to
interrupt construction because of unpaid water bills.
After receiving a reminder to pay, Tesla gave assurances the bills would be
paid, but an IT error led to the payment not going through, Tagesspiegel
said. Tesla could not be reached for comment on the issue.
Authorities in Gruenheide and Brandenburg have so far only granted
conditional approval for construction. Formal planning permission has not yet
been granted.

一位知情人士周四對路透社說：特斯拉在柏林監督電動汽車製造商的“超級工廠”建設的
高管已離職。
特斯拉拒絕評論德國工廠的工程，採購和建設主管埃文·霍雷茨基是否仍在這家美國公司
任職。無法聯繫Horetsky進行置評。
根據Horetsky在Linkedin上的個人資料，他領導團隊領導特斯拉全球工廠和能源產品的項
目設計，施工和技術計劃管理。
德國廣播公司RBB率先報告了這一離場情況。RBB表示，由於霍雷茨基的離開，工廠的計劃
申請程序不會延遲。
柏林工廠將是特斯拉第四家超級工廠，生產汽車和電池，並且是歐洲第一家。
該汽車製造商於去年11月宣布計劃在柏林郊外的格呂恩海德（Gruenheide）建造
Gigafactory，併計劃在2021年7月1日之前建立並運營該工廠，以開始生產其電動跨界車
ModelY。
但是，該公司一直在進行長時間的環境審核，這是一個耗時的過程，這可能意味著其建設
時間將比其上海的Gigafactory工廠長得多，後者從新建工地轉移到僅需11個月即可製造
汽車。
Horetsky在10月11日的一條推文中暗示了壓力。

他說：“信用屬於競技場上的那個人，他的臉上沾滿了灰塵，汗水和鮮血；誰奮勇奮鬥；
誰犯錯了，誰又一次失敗了，因為沒有錯誤和缺點都是沒有努力的。”鳴叫。
推文還說：“ ...如果他失敗了，至少（他）會大膽失敗，”這則推文還引用了西奧多·
羅斯福的話。
十月初，特斯拉擱置了三天的聽證會，以聽取當地人和對該工廠的潛在批評。
磋商過程僅花費了八天的時間，就提出了414項投訴和意見，將由地方計劃當局進行審查
。
當地人擔心，超級工廠，特別是一旦開始建造電池組時，將浪費當地的水資源，並希望特
斯拉保證消耗會受到限制。
特斯拉方面已同意將耗水量從330萬立方米減少到140萬立方米。
柏林的Tagesspiegel報紙說，10月16日，特斯拉因未付水費被迫中斷建設。
Tagesspiegel說，在收到付款通知後，特斯拉保證將支付賬單，但是由於IT錯誤導致付款
無法通過。無法聯繫特斯拉就此問題發表評論。
到目前為止，格呂恩海德（Gruenheide）和勃蘭登堡（Brandenburg）的主管部門僅授予
有條件的施工許可。尚未獲得正式的計劃許可。
3.心得/評論：
看起來在世界頂尖的公司工作充滿的壓力呀,
一個水費沒繳的事情就被火了,
外加當地環保人士的環評投訴與意見,
歐洲工廠會如期完成開始投產嗎?
難怪歐洲買家的車要先從上海工廠出貨...
我還是繼續發發廢文要來的輕鬆多了...
