Tesla expansion meets with rejection from citizens. Tesla wants to build a freight yard, warehouses and a company kindergarten on an additional 170 hectares.

To achieve this, more than 100 hectares of forest will be cleared. Tesla recently had to suspend car production for around two weeks because parts were missing due to the uncertain situation in the Red Sea. The company wants to double production capacity from the current target of 500,000 cars a year to one million. The community representatives of Grünheide still have to decide on the development plan.
