A power pole was set on fire in the small Brandenburg community near the Tesla factory on Tuesday. Production at the factory has been suspended - the workforce has been evacuated.
The electric car manufacturer expects a standstill for days. The attack comes at an explosive time, because the community's decision about expanding the plant is pending. So who is actually fighting against whom here? And why? It's not just in the USA that he pays significantly less than his established competitors. In Germany, Tesla employees earn around 20 percent less than their colleagues at Volkswagen and Co.
