An electricity pylon is burning near the Tesla car factory in Brandenburg.
This has serious consequences for the company.
Grünheide - After the attack on the power supply to the Tesla car factory in Brandenburg, the company expects economic damage in the “high nine-figure range” due to production shutdowns.
Tesla representative André Thierig announced this on Tuesday.
It is assumed that the power supply will be interrupted for several days.
It is unclear when production will resume.
From Tesla's point of view, it was clearly an "attack on this industrial settlement" in Brandenburg, said Thierig.
There is currently a very critical mood against Tesla.
That is very unpleasant.
He cannot currently say whether this could have an impact on the future of the factory.
However, there were no current threatening letters.
According to the Brandenburg Interior Ministry, unknown people set fire to a high-voltage pylon near Steinfurt, a district of Gosen-Neu Zittau, early on Tuesday morning.
A left-wing extremist group accused itself of the attack.
