Tesla Factory Wanted in Turkey. Country’s President Calls on Musk.

Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, had a special request for billionaire Elon Musk—he’d like the next Tesla factory to be built in his country.

In a meeting with Musk near the United Nations in New York, Erdogan asked the Tesla CEO to put the eighth factory for its electric vehicles in Turkey, according to state media company Anadolu Agency. Musk said in May that Tesla would probably choose the site for its next factory some time this year. In August, he mentioned India as a possible place to make a low-cost electric vehicle. Tesla is currently building a factory in Mexico.Write to Brian Swint at brian.swint@barrons.com
