    Giga factory did not happen in the UK.

    If I was a sceptic, I’d say the UK was one of a few nations he proposed to try and gain some economic influence.

    But few here generally believed he would choose a place with expensive labour like the US or UK to host such a thing. Honestly, factory manufacturing is not huge in the UK for good reason economically.

    We do have a good few smaller corps building batteries. But honestly, it’s mainly importing cells from China and putting things together. But nothing huge exists.
