Wasn’t the Dyson expansion linked to its now aborted EV investments ?

Very well known within the motor industry. All to do with EV's being a viable product (in the opinion of Dyson) and nothing at all to do with Brexit. the plan was dropped altogether, not relocated.

Incidentally, I know of this from two people, one who works for JLR and says some of the people who jumped ship to Dyson have given up very good careers - we assets to their former employers - to join this stillborn project, and also my BIL who was working as a consultant. A bit of a shame really.

ETA I saw this new Morris Commercials EV van on Twitter this morning and wonder whether it has, in some way, come from the ashes of the Dyson project?

No, no, no, don’t say the mighty stongle agrees with you. Argument won! Doffs cap.

Perhaps he may now get as angry at the Germans for bribing Musk to put his car business near Berlin as he is with the French for dastardly subsidies. Which is the EUs fault apparently.

Damn it, proves those right who said that Brexit was good for the EU in terms of business seeking out the benefits of operating in the EU. Why did no one say so?

Yawn.

That's not what I said about French subsidies at all. It was about captive prisoner of EU wide trade agreements. The fact that you either don't understand that basic concept; or continue to misrepresent it makes you look a bigger clown than me (oh, it;'s a downside risk of EU membership - must put head in sand). I even posted the list of tariffs for you. When it's black and white you scurrued off and hid for a few days. Did you have a little cry? that you are constantly being found out NOT to be in a DeepEnd of a puddle, but now just DeepDoodo? You clearly have next to zero understanding of EU interactions.

It actually makes much greater sense for Tesla to locate in Germany, than your minimal thinking. The model 3 is already ironing out BMW sales AND the whole world knows that the German car industry has to go electric. Tesla has a ready resource pool of people to pick from; potentially growing as ICE cars become less popular. Daimlers outlook is in the toilet; and VW has been clear on what it's extent is. The German industrial base is well sorted to Tesla setting up there. What bribe?

But you only understand the world in the blinkered DeepDoodo version of BREXIT. Which is getting tiring.

It’s really rather simple but I realise comprehension difficulty is relative.

Brexity potential Electric car maker dumps plans in UK and makes for Singapore.

Musk electric car maker dumps plans in UK.

Joke is he could have got a cheap deal on empty warehouse of the last brexit related UK quitter.

As the stupidity of Brexit is the butt of the joke I can see why snowflakes melt over it.

There are no semantic come backs here of any note. Dyson supported Brexit but has quit his manufacturing in the UK. Blah blah timing, excuses R&D is what matters etc. It’s still a hypocritical kick in the balls.

Musk is not coming to the UK due to brexit. Saying it’s just the uncertainty - as if if we’d left in March he might have made a different decision - is perhaps one of the more pathetic whimpering excuses in trying to dodge responsibility for casting a leave vote.

Poking fun at this shambles is one of the only redeeming features of Brexit. It’s a constant source of “OMG how stupid is this nonsense?”

It’s also funny to see some try and take joy from Musk maybe having trouble with German labour laws. As if it’s a blocker. Clutch that comfort straw tight. It’s like Harry Enfield’s “you don’t want to do it like that, you want to do it like this”.

Not really, just you using anecodotal evidence to justify your continued posting.

This year, London increased the volumes of FX transactions by 12% (business mainly taken from NYC) retaining its global lead (thats an additional £200billion of business).

London also named leading global Fintech centre, doing 15% more deals than NYC; and more than double its nearest EU competitor.

Goldman Sachs just opened a £1bn EU headquarters, in wait for it, drumroll please.......






London


Seriously, if the UK is getting smashed by BREXIT why is there vast amounts of evidence pointing to tbe contrary? You exist in a bucket of confirmation bias and catastrophising, you might need help.

This is the Lotis Evija - All electric hypercar. Price somewhere around £2 million



It's the first result of the £1billion+ investment Geely have made in Lotus... despite Brexit.

He could also locate a factory in the UK, once sales have hit a certain point. “It seems like a logical thing to do in the long-term to have a factory in the UK,” Musk said. That would come after the company establishes a production plant in continental Europe he said. However neither will happen until sales surpass 160,000 in Europe, according to Musk."

It makes sense. I flew to Schipol this week and Tesla's were all over Holland. It's a very rare occurrence to see them here in the UK (where I am anyway).

Being in mainland Europe will also allow them to poach staff/buy components from/license technology too the existing supply base that's already in Germany.

If you're from outside EU and looking to create a manufacturing hub for vehicles it's very hard to look past Germany, Brexit or no Brexit.

Why would Brexiteers worry about controlled migration - especially when the workers will leave when the job is complete?

Oh right - it is you... BRACISTS!!!! BRACISTS everywhere!!!!!

As per the tweet perhaps the suitably qualified brexiters are too busy burning 5G masts.

From Romania too - Nigel will blow a gasket, what if they move next door to him? Or talk near him on a train! Poor Nigel.

Of course you can't provide any evidence to back up your wild claim or were you present to ask them?

Just another lie then, they just trip off the tongue now.....

More bad news for the workers in Sunderland

https://order-order.com/2020/05/28/nissan-close-ba...

They might have to build Renault cars. This wasnt one of the Brexit unicorns we were sold...

It's not too difficult for them. Still building cars, just ones with random electrical faults that leave them stranded at the roadside, rather than Nissans.

ETA: Far, far better news for the UK than the 15,000 jobs Renault is cutting elsewhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52845849

That looks like a long shot to me, but would make me laugh heartily if it happened and really hope the UK govt put some energy <sic> into it.
