MP asks Elon Musk to build Tesla plant in Ukraine

By Denys Krasnikov / January 17, 2017

A Ukrainian lawmaker has written to Elon Musk, the CEO of U.S. electric car producer Tesla Motors, asking that the tech entrepreneur consider building a Tesla car factory in Ukraine.

The letter, from People’s Front party lawmaker Viktor Romaniuk, comes after Musk announced his company was to make a “significant investment” in expanding its European operations. However, Tesla has neither confirmed the timescale for building its research center in Europe, nor specified a location so far.
