Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess is unfazed about Elon Musk-led Tesla Inc. having built a factory just about 200 kilometers (124 miles) from its home turf Germany.
What Happened
Musk-led Tesla is ahead of Volkswagen, growing fast and taking more risks than the German legacy automaker, Diess told CBS News’s Lesley Stahl in an interview.“Tesla is quite ahead currently, and they’re growing fast, I have to admit. He is taking more risks than we can. He’s now building a plant in Berlin. It’s 200 kilometers...from our plant,” Diess said in the interview.
