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.

一位知情人士周四对路透社说：特斯拉在柏林监督电动汽车制造商的“超级工厂”建设的
高管已离职。
特斯拉拒绝评论德国工厂的工程，采购和建设主管埃文·霍雷茨基是否仍在这家美国公司
任职。无法联系Horetsky进行置评。
根据Horetsky在Linkedin上的个人资料，他领导团队领导特斯拉全球工厂和能源产品的项
目设计，施工和技术计划管理。
德国广播公司RBB率先报告了这一离场情况。RBB表示，由于霍雷茨基的离开，工厂的计划
申请程序不会延迟。
柏林工厂将是特斯拉第四家超级工厂，生产汽车和电池，并且是欧洲第一家。
该汽车制造商于去年11月宣布计划在柏林郊外的格吕恩海德（Gruenheide）建造
Gigafactory，并计划在2021年7月1日之前建立并运营该工厂，以开始生产其电动跨界车
ModelY。
但是，该公司一直在进行长时间的环境审核，这是一个耗时的过程，这可能意味着其建设
时间将比其上海的Gigafactory工厂长得多，后者从新建工地转移到仅需11个月即可制造
汽车。
Horetsky在10月11日的一条推文中暗示了压力。

他说：“信用属于竞技场上的那个人，他的脸上沾满了灰尘，汗水和鲜血；谁奋勇奋斗；
谁犯错了，谁又一次失败了，因为没有错误和缺点都是没有努力的。”鸣叫。
推文还说：“ ...如果他失败了，至少（他）会大胆失败，”这则推文还引用了西奥多·
罗斯福的话。
十月初，特斯拉搁置了三天的听证会，以听取当地人和对该工厂的潜在批评。
磋商过程仅花费了八天的时间，就提出了414项投诉和意见，将由地方计划当局进行审查
。
当地人担心，超级工厂，特别是一旦开始建造电池组时，将浪费当地的水资源，并希望特
斯拉保证消耗会受到限制。
特斯拉方面已同意将耗水量从330万立方米减少到140万立方米。
柏林的Tagesspiegel报纸说，10月16日，特斯拉因未付水费被迫中断建设。
Tagesspiegel说，在收到付款通知后，特斯拉保证将支付账单，但是由于IT错误导致付款
无法通过。无法联系特斯拉就此问题发表评论。
到目前为止，格吕恩海德（Gruenheide）和勃兰登堡（Brandenburg）的主管部门仅授予
有条件的施工许可。尚未获得正式的计划许可。
3.心得/评论：
看起来在世界顶尖的公司工作充满的压力呀,
一个水费没缴的事情就被火了,
外加当地环保人士的环评投诉与意见,
欧洲工厂会如期完成开始投产吗?
难怪欧洲买家的车要先从上海工厂出货...
我还是继续发发废文要来的轻松多了...
