Around 80 activists from the ‘Stop Tesla’ initiative have occupied a forest near the company’s car factory in Grünheide, Brandenburg. They are protesting against the planned expansion of the plant.
The group built tree houses on the approximately 120 hectare forest that is to be cleared to expand the site. Tesla wants to build a freight station, warehouses and a company kindergarten in addition to the existing 300-hectare factory site. To achieve this, more than 100 hectares of forest will be cleared.
