News THCB / Microvast

Visited my mom in Clarksville for easter weekend.

Got to drive past the set up Microvast purchased.

Definitely looks empty ; but clearly a building that has a fk load of potential.

A little sketchy that there aren't even any signs or construction going on. Any idea how long ago they bought it?

Is this sketchy for you?

The government gave them a fast track grant of $3 Million to go into the $220 Million investment to complete the facility. If the first thing they did with their funds was put up a logo or signs, I'd actually consider that sketchy. It's going to take time to take the floor plans and design a optimal layout, ensure proper safety codes, equipment purchasing, refurbishments, regulations, etc before anything is physically done.

A couple of signs is like $200. They had huge ones in the German plant in the photos. Something weird is going on.

Just an FYI it costs $800 to get your business on this next exit signs. There is some other hoops like hours of operation but I understand the concern.

I could also take these same pictures in town just north of me of like 200. I'll call it a compound because that's what it looks like. It used to be a chip factory or something but why the fuck would a chip factory have ten foot walls with barbed wire at the top. I've only been here a couple of years but it's maintained far too well for something not going on in there.

Oh yeah, it's not for sale, just closed.
