Fake Letter About Tesla Test Track in Potsdam Causes Confusion

Authorities confirm the letter is fraudulent and clarify no such project is planned in the Ravensberge forest area.

A fake letter claiming Tesla plans to build a 500-hectare test track in Potsdam's Ravensberge forest has alarmed residents.
The letter falsely used the logos of the city of Potsdam and the Brandenburg state government to appear official.
City officials have denied any knowledge of such plans, stating no application or project of this nature exists.
The police are investigating the incident to determine if it constitutes a criminal offense.
The hoax follows ongoing protests against Tesla’s factory in Grünheide, including opposition to deforestation in the area.
