Musk’s German Tesla plant suffers close to $1B in damages after attack by the ‘dumbest ecoterrorists on earth’
Arsonists set a high-voltage power mast ablaze, bringing production to a complete halt.
What happened was environmentalists sabotaged the power line leading to the plant knocking out all power. Over 12k employees were sent home. That's a lot of employees on the same shift. Word is that it's going to take a while for the utilities people to get it going again. Musk stated it may cost them 1B$$.I had no idea the plant was that big and they want to expand it.
Environmentalists, there is a lot of news on this subject and has been in the news for the last day and a half
There is a lot of opposition to Tesla greatly increasing the size of its plant in Germany.
The one thing that musk is wrong about is electric vehicles, pollute the environment, far greater than gasoline according to a recent study

The company's only European factory will pause production as work begins to restore power following an alleged activist attack.

Terrorists. Stupid terrorists. Probably 5,000 people outta work, dunno for sure. Europe is a big EV market; Tesla makes a lotta Model Ys at Giga Berlin.
That's industrial terrorism, no less, they need to rot in prison, there is a difference between activism and terrorism.
You can post a link. But your previous post including only the link, no comment, no original dialogue. You dropped a link, nothing more.
So, it got taken down. Please see the following on copyright.

Further, your title in that post was misleading. You said 12,000 people “lost their jobs” and that’s not what happened.

If Musk really wanted to save the environment he would be building public transport and promoting that instead of cars.
I don't agree with the destruction of the power infrastructure but their reasons for targeting Tesla are not as dumb as they might seem on the surface.
For example environmentalists attacking paintings in museums is way dumber than this.
I am fairly certain that the Cybertruck will never be sold in Europe because it won't meet pedestrian collision regulations. So there is some truth in them calling it a killer machine.
FYI it will take a few days to restore power, so people didn't lose their jobs and it won't cost 1 billion dollars.

Here's a Reuters article; it looks like it will affect 10's of thousands of people. And it is more than Tesla:
Joerg Steinbach, the economy minister of Brandenburg, the German state where Tesla's plant is based, condemned the suspected attack as having "terrorist markings", and hitting tens of thousands of people.
"This includes hospitals, homes for the elderly, where people may also be dependent on oxygen supply or similar, which is electricity-based," he said at a briefing outside the factory.
The Tesla site, which employs around 12,500 people, was evacuated and most employees sent home.

It is a act of terrorism period end of story. That must not be tolerated.
Seems too many crimes are called terrorism, though I see you are overseas. It doesn't seem intended to cause mass public casualties and to cause terror in the population. It was an act against a company.
Im not in anyway condoning it but calling every crime terrorism waters down what true terrorism is.
I think of all the college kids who would have been lableled terrorists in the USA during Vietnam war protests.
However terrorists seek to harm, maim and kill innocent civilians for some whacked out cause and that word should be preserved as a strong word used against those people.
Not someone knocking out power to a company auto plant. Just because this is not terrorism of course it will not go unpunished. It's a crime against property and company operations.
LOL.Absurd. if you want to ban EVs because of the weight induced tire wear then all SUVs and light Truck should also be banned because they're just as heavy.Environmentalists, there is a lot of news on this subject and has been in the news for the last day and a half

Many more people were affected than the Tesla plant. The sick and elderly need electricity too.

Think we know where these thugs will be sitting …
Over 12 k were sent home until its fixed.
YPW posted the same link without comment. I should have said “temporarily “.
Unfortunately too early for Springfest - Frühlingswiesn. Its like a spring Octoberfest in Germany. I could never figure out how they are so productive - they seem to have a plethora of parties - not that its a bad thing of course.
