It wasn't a quiet morning for Tesla in Germany. The US manufacturer led by Elon Musk was in fact forced to stop production at its Gigafactory located on the outskirts of Berlin and to evacuate the factory due to a blackout that hit the area. And the reason for this blackout is to be attributed to the fire of a pylon in the Gossen-Neu Zitta area, which occurred shortly after 5am, which compromised the electricity supply in the area.
Arson?
According to what was reported by the Dpa and Faz agencies, it was this fire that occurred stop the electricity supply also at the Tesla factory. And an important element emerges: the police who have arrived on site are ready to “investigate in all directions” Why Malice cannot be ruled out. From whom? Environmental activists, potentially accused of having deliberately started the fire in protest of the factory expansion strategy announced by Tesla.
Clash with environmentalists
The newspaper BZ, in this sense, states in a report that the police would also have intervened on site bomb squad unit after signs were found saying “bombs buried here”. At the moment no police spokesperson has felt like commenting on these indiscretions, what is certain is that the question and answer between the US manufacturer and environmentalists has been going on for several months now. And it will hardly stop if Tesla actually goes ahead with its Gigafactory expansion plans.
