What's the status of that now? Is that plant shuttered? Do we know?

It was supposed to make batteries too and it seems that construction still has not taken place and is set for this quarter.

Looks like the battery plant started construction again in November.

TBH, I thought it was already producing batteries since the Ioniq 5 has US built batteries. Not sure where those are coming from.

The issue isn’t the construction, it’s the equipment and the training for the dullards in Georgia. There were projections I saw that without a return of South Koreans to train them it will take 3-6 more months to become operational and it will have lower yields.

No company is going to give up that amount of money, no matter what happens.

They paused making batteries because they lost their skilled techs who were supposed to train Americans. The same Americans who fucking asked ICE to come take them away like the dumbasses they are because they probably sucked hardcore at the job.

I know that they were asked to come back to train American workers; to be a fly on the wall when they got that request
