Audi's Georgia plant: the key facts in one place

Pulled together from the GONOM post for anyone who missed it:

Where: Middle Georgia Megasite, Peach County, near Macon. Audi's first US car plant.

How big: about $4bn, roughly 4,500 jobs, up to 200,000 vehicles a year.

When: preparatory work from 2027, series production in the early 2030s (full production around 2031).

What: Q7, Q8 and Q9 SUVs, according to a US official.

Why: tariffs cost Audi €1.2bn last year, but Euronews notes Audi also cites market access and suppliers.

I'm from Georgia originally, so I'm happy for the area, but the timeline is long, so let's see!
