German council approves a revised plan by Tesla to expand its plant near Berlin

Tesla, the famous electric carmaker led by Elon Musk, has been given the green light to expand its factory in Gruenheide, Germany. This decision, approved by the local council, has sparked significant controversy and protests from environmental activists.

On a recent Thursday evening, the councilors of Gruenheide, a municipality just outside Berlin, voted on Tesla’s expansion plan. The vote ended with 11 councilors in favor, 6 against, and 2 abstentions. This decision allows Tesla to proceed with its plan to expand the factory grounds by adding a freight depot and additional logistical space.

Originally, Tesla’s proposal involved clearing over 100 hectares (247 acres) of forest. However, due to strong opposition, the plan was scaled down to reduce the number of trees that need to be felled. This compromise was an effort to address environmental concerns while allowing Tesla to continue its expansion.
