MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Tesla will look at building more factories in new countries over time and Russia may be considered for one of the sites, Elon Musk, the CEO of the electric car company, said Friday.

In terms of service centres for the cars, Tesla is “close to establishing a presence in Russia”, Musk said, adding that the electric car company was thinking of doing the same for Kazakhstan and neighbouring countries.

He also noted it would be better if Russia and the US communicated more.

Tesla has several factories in the US, one in China, and is building one in Berlin. Recently, British media suggested that the company may be planning to build another factory in the UK as well.

Future Prospects

The billionaire also made several tech predictions, praising electric transportation and describing his vision of technological progress.
