Environmentalists are protesting on tree houses against Elon Musk's only European Tesla car factory in Grünheide near Berlin. Around 100 activists have been occupying a forest near the factory since the night to protest against the planned expansion of the site for a freight station and storage areas.

“We want to stand in the way of destruction,” says the spokeswoman for the “Stop Tesla” initiative, Caro Weber. The local council is expected to decide on the development plan in May.
