Tesla recently expressed gratitude to authorities for their support in maintaining safety at Giga Berlin-Brandenburg during last week’s “days of action” targeted at the carmaker. The protest activities concluded on Sunday, with a dismantling of the camp near the site. While the exact number of injured protesters was not disclosed by the authorities, Tesla confirmed the resumption of Model Y production on Sunday evening.
A Tesla spokesperson praised the police for their efforts in safeguarding the factory and protecting the freedom of assembly against violent activists. Despite the ongoing tensions and anti-Tesla groups voicing their intention to attend the upcoming discussion on the facility’s proposed expansion, Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed optimism about Tesla’s plans, hoping for further expansion of production in the region. Overall, while the events of the past week were regrettable from Tesla’s perspective, the company remains focused on its goals amidst the challenges posed by the protests and the discussions about its expansion.
