Activists Halt Tesla Expansion with Tree Blockade in Brandenburg

Protesters obstruct construction at Tesla's Grünheide site, prompting police intervention and legal actions.

Activists opposed to Tesla's factory expansion in Grünheide, Germany, blocked a construction road by securing a tree trunk with ropes.
Police removed a protester from the tree and issued bans to others occupying nearby treehouses, aiming to resume construction activities.
The protest is part of ongoing resistance against Tesla's plans to expand its site to include a freight station and storage facilities.
Authorities reported damage to construction fences and have filed charges of property damage against unknown individuals.
The dispute highlights broader tensions over environmental concerns and labor practices at Tesla's German operations.
