According to

(
BZ),
a fire was reported on a power pole near the Tesla factory in Grünheide around 4:50 a.m. on Tuesday morning (March 5).
As a result, the power went out in the factory and the plant had to be evacuated.
At an afternoon press conference, Tesla Germany management said production would be halted for the rest of this week.
The power supply was also cut off in other surrounding communities and in some parts of Berlin.
