Tesla’s Berlin factory to shut down for days after suspected arson attack cuts power


The company's only European factory will pause production as work begins to restore power following an alleged activist attack.

Tesla’s factory outside Berlin, Germany will likely be shut down for days and cost the automaker more than$100 million, after a suspected arson attack on the local power grid. The group said it sabotaged Tesla because the company “eats up earth, resources, people, labor and spits out 6,000 SUVs, killer machines and monster trucks per week. Our gift for March 8th is to shut down Tesla.” Because the complete destruction of the Gigafactory and with it the sawing off of “technofascists” like Elon Musk are a step on the path to liberation from patriarchy.”
