Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla hiring in Turkey
The US electric vehicle maker already has a presence in Jordan and Israel and could soon launch in Turkey, where Musk has a good relationship with President Erdogan.
The US electric vehicle giant Tesla may soon expand in Turkey.
The electric vehicle-focused website electrek reported Tuesday that Tesla is looking to hire people in Turkey. Tesla’s job board showed Wednesday several “vehicle service” jobs in Istanbul’s Besiktas neighborhood.
Tesla’s launch in Turkey has been in the works for some time. In January, Tesla named a branch head for Turkey. The following June, Tesla began installing charging stations in Turkey. The "superchargers," which will be located across the country, are not yet available, according to Tesla’s official website.
Why it matters: Tesla’s fully electric vehicles are becoming more popular around the world, particularly as fuel prices and concerns about the environment rise.
