Tesla likes to call the factory under construction near Berlin "Gigafactory" and has probably exaggerated this attitude: Apparently three non-approved tanks were built on the construction site.
Grünheide - The US electric car manufacturer Tesla has set up three non-approved tanks on the construction site of its factory in Grünheide near Berlin.
Sebastian Arnold, spokesman for the Brandenburg Ministry of the Environment, told the German Press Agency on Thursday.
These are tanks for different liquids.
Tesla is threatened with a fine.
The amount was initially unclear.
On Wednesday it became known that the state office is investigating the suspicion of illegal construction on the site, which had come from the environmental associations Green League and the nature conservation association in Brandenburg.
The Berlin “Tagesspiegel” and “Business Insider” also reported on the result of the review on Thursday.
