So it's just a very large building they're building?

 

They don't have battery technology or even a deal with a manufacturer to use their IP.

 

Meanwhile the best option is to set up in the EU where you can export to the UK and those cars can still be exported to the EU again without any issues.   I think I know where I'd prefer to invest.

 

Little wonder the UK is slipping off the charts for growth and GDP, whilst our Pound slides further against the Dollar.   Well done Brexiters!
