Tesla founder and chief executive Elon Musk said Friday that he hopes to start producing cars at its new factory outside Berlin in October.<\/p>\n

The U.S. company had originally planned to begin manufacturing its electric cars at the “Gigafactory” in Gruenheide, east of the German capital, in July.<\/p>\n

But legal challenges and problems getting official permits have delayed the project.<\/p>\n

“We’re looking forward to hopefully getting the app<\/a>roval to make the first cars, maybe in October if we’re fortunate,” Musk said during a visit to the site Friday.<\/p>\n

Armin Laschet, the center-right Union bloc’s candidate to succeed Angela Merkel as chancellor in next month’s election, thanked Musk for his investment in Germany.<\/p>\n

Laschet suggested German laws should be changed to make it harder for people not directly affected by the factory’s construction to file legal complaints against it, German news<\/a> agency dpa report.<\/p>\n
