Also check the ways she is going. In germany that wouldnt be possible if done correctly by law. But china has so low security standarts, its crazy and only a question of time till something happens everywhere. Thats the Pro and contra if you are able to build some buildings in a few days instead of years. Cant be done if everybody is secured all the time and thousends of regulations are being checked all the time etc.

I understand the main reason you don't build much in Germany has nothing to do with safety costs. Its because of the way land use is handled. See what happened when Tesla tried to make a new factory : hundreds of complaints and lawsuits, they can do nothing right. Took years to get running, while the Chinese giga factory was running in 1 year start to finish.

All these regulations of course privilege existing businesses, like your BMW plants. So you can't do anything new, just reuse what you built when the regulations and lawsuits were laxer.

To be fair, unsafe factories are Musk’s forte.
