A fire on a high-voltage pylon near the Tesla factory in Brandenburg interrupted the power supply to the factory and numerous households last Tuesday. The company normally produces more than 1,000 vehicles per day, which is how high the daily downtime is.
Tesla plans to expand its factory by 170 hectares and build a freight yard, warehouses and a company kindergarten. Around 80 environmental activists occupied the forest a week and a half ago and set up a protest camp with tree houses to prevent this.
