In Germany, the police are indeed investigating a suspected arson attack that led to a significant power outage at Tesla’s factory near Berlin. This incident has halted production at the factory. The far-left activist group known as the “Volcano” group has claimed responsibility for the attack. According to their 2,500-word letter, they set fire to an electricity pylon at the Tesla car factory in Berlin. The group argues that the factory, which produces approximately 500,000 electric cars a year, is neither ecological nor sustainable. They express concerns about the environmental impact of electric car production and the use of natural resources and labor.

Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, responded on social media, calling the attackers either the “dumbest eco-terrorists on Earth” or “puppets of those who don’t have good environmental goals.” He emphasized that stopping the production of electric vehicles, rather than fossil fuel vehicles, is “extremely dumb”.

The damages caused by the arson attack are estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of euros, and production is expected to remain halted until the end of the week. The electricity outage affected not only the factory but also surrounding communities in the state of Brandenburg. Brandenburg’s interior minister has vowed to severely punish those responsible if the initial findings confirm their involvement, considering it a perfidious attack on the electricity infrastructure that endangered tens of thousands of people.

This situation highlights the ongoing debate around electric car production, environmental concerns, and the impact of large-scale industrial facilities on local resources and ecosystems.
