Germany: Power at Tesla factory in Berlin restored after sabotage
March 11, 2024
Power was restored at the Tesla Gigafactory near Berlin on Monday evening, grid operator E.DIS said.
Repair work on a damaged pole was completed much faster than expected, according to the power company.
The news comes a week after power supplies were cut when a far-left activist from Grupo Volacno sabotaged the car factory.
Environmental activists have been protesting the factory expansion, which they say will impact a water protection zone in the Grünheide forest.
At the time, Tesla boss Elon Musk called the saboteurs “the dumbest eco-terrorists in the world.”
The sabotage caused production to be halted. Tesla expected the factory to be idle until the end of the week.
