"We're looking forward to hopefully getting the approval to make the first cars maybe in October if we are fortunate," Musk said on a visit to the plant with Armin Laschet, Germany's conservative candidate to succeed Angela Merkel as chancellor. Laschet, whose personal approval ratings have dropped ahead of a September 26 federal election after he was seen laughing during a visit to a flood-stricken town, said Germany needed to cut red tape.
Asked if he had any tips for Laschet to help energise his election campaign, Musk replied:"We're adding energy right now. This plant's all about energy, green energy that's sustainable."
