In 2024, Tesla faced many challenges at its Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, including factory closures and attacks by environmental activists. Despite these obstacles, the company was able to produce the Model Y crossover for the European market. In January, production was halted due to armed conflicts in the Red Sea, but was quickly resumed by February. However, in March, production was halted again due to an arson attack on the factory’s power substation by the environmental activist organization Vulcan Group. Tesla managed to resume production after a little over a week and faced continued protest efforts throughout the year.
In May, activists attempted to storm Giga Berlin, resulting in injuries to protestors and police officers. Environmental groups also created treehouses in nearby forests that Tesla planned to chop down for its factory expansion. Despite Tesla’s promise to re-plant three times as many trees as it removed, protestors remained active in the area until police eventually vacated the groups and dismantled their treehouses.
