Elon Musk did it not the others are going to build the TESLA Rival!
Daimler will invest 500 million euros ($589 million) in Hambach, France, to start producing a small electric Mercedes-Benz, the first of more than 10 EVs it plans by 2022 to go up against U.S. rival Tesla and its Model 3.
Hambach is where all-electric cars for the Smart brand are produced. "The Smart plant in Hambach will become a part of our global compact car production network with the lead plant in Rastatt, Germany," Mercedes-Benz production chief Markus Schaefer said in a statement on Friday.
Mercedes is adapting its vehicle underpinnings so that it can mass produce electric variants on the same production line as equivalent volume models with gasoline, hybrid or diesel engines, allowing the German carmaker to scale up production quickly if demand spikes, a spokesman for Daimler said.
Mercedes currently makes its compact A-class, B-class and GLA models at plants in Rastatt, Germany, Kecskemét, Hungary, Beijing and in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and made 620,000 compact vehicles last year.

BMW CEO Harald Krüger confirmed at the company’s Annual General Meeting this week when we will see the next-generation X5. As we suspected, the midsize SUV will debut later this year.
Although Krüger didn’t give a specific launch date, we knew the model was coming soon based on prototypes we’ve seen. From past spy shots, we expect the new BMW X5 will feature a larger double kidney grille as well as updated headlights and taillights. Inside the cabin, expect a new arrangement of the center stack and a shorter gear stalk. We also spotted a prototype for the X5 M with quad-tip tailpipes, although this model will likely arrive after the standard X5.
BMW has been updating many models in its X lineup. It just released the X2 and the new X3, and the second-generation X4 is on its way this summer. Toward the end of the year, the new X7 will enter production. In all, BMW says to expect 20 new or revised models to be released this year.
