Our piece on Tesla’s new mega voyage into China was featured by LinkedIn News. Indeed, as I concluded therein that “China is rising and Tesla sees a part of its future there, and is going for it because “uwa bu ahia” (the world is a marketplace), the Igbo Nation says”, I want to invite Elon Musk to come to Abia State, Nigeria!
Tesla Team: I got your feedback that Musk read one of my articles. Nigeria is open for business and investment; I have noted multiple times in Harvard Business Review. Specifically, Abia State is the best destination. My phones are designed to receive all good calls.
Uwa bu ahia; Nigeria is the center with Abia State the core.

CEO Elon Musk is looking to significantly grow Tesla’s footprint in China with a new Shanghai factory that will manufacture his company’s much-hyped Megapack battery, Bloomberg reports. Tesla hopes to produce 10,000 of the large-scale batteries, which can stabilize energy grids and provide power to 3,600 homes within an hour, a year to sell globally. While Musk has big plans for the energy storage sector, the move comes “amid growing trade tensions” between China and the U.S., says Bloomberg. Construction begins on the site in the third quarter of 2023 and battery production will begin in 2024.
