Tesla CEO Elon Musk, 4th from right, arrives at the Tesla Gigafactory for electric cars in Gruenheide near Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Power has been restored to electric car manufacturer Tesla's factory near Berlin about a week after an outage believed to have been caused by arson, a network operator says.
Production at Tesla’s plant in Gruenheide came to a standstill on Tuesday last week. Tens of thousands of residents, nearby hospitals, nursing homes and a big logistics center for a German grocery chain were also initially affected. A far-left organization calling itself the Volcano Group said it was behind the fire, accusing Tesla of “extreme exploitation conditions” and calling for the “complete destruction of the gigafactory.” The German federal prosecutor’s office took over the investigation, citing an initial suspicion that a terrorist organization may have been involved in the attack.
The power outage came as environmental activists have been protesting in a forest near the plant against plans to expand the facility.
