Activists Occupy Bagger at Tesla's Grünheide Site, Prompting Police Action

Police remove activists after a prolonged protest against Tesla's construction plans, involving the use of pepper spray to control the situation.

  • Three masked activists occupied a bagger near Tesla's Grünheide factory, halting construction work for a new railway station.
  • The protest is part of ongoing opposition to Tesla's expansion plans, which include tree felling for infrastructure development.
  • Police intervened after the activists ignored multiple requests to vacate the machinery, ultimately using specialized teams to remove them.
  • Pepper spray was deployed by police to disperse other activists attempting to breach a construction fence.
  • The protestors, unaffiliated with the main 'Tesla Stoppen' group, faced temporary detention and potential legal action for coercion.
