On October 22, 2024, four young men were removed from two excavators within the vicinity of Tesla Giga Berlin by local police officers. The men were found inside the baskets of the excavators and it was discovered that they had also relieved themselves on the equipment. The excavators were contaminated as a result of their actions and the authorities are investigating the men’s backgrounds to see if they have committed any criminal offenses.
The police believe that the four men were attempting to hinder Tesla’s construction work in the forest near the new Fanschleuse train station by occupying the excavators. The machines were unable to be used for several hours due to their actions. This incident is not the first time that protestors have tried to stop Tesla’s expansion in Giga Berlin. Previously, other protestors had occupied an excavator and a tree within the construction area.
The local authorities are looking into whether the men involved in this incident had already been banned from the area. The protestors’ actions were likely motivated by their opposition to Tesla’s construction work and their desire to stop the company’s expansion plans. Tesla uses the excavators for construction work in the forest near Fanschleuse train station, which is part of their overall expansion project in Giga Berlin.
Despite the efforts of protestors, on October 15, 2024, Grünheide’s local environment ministry approved the first stage of Tesla’s expansion plans for Giga Berlin. This approval marked a significant step forward for the company and their construction work in the area. The incident involving the protestors relieving themselves on the excavators highlighted the ongoing opposition and challenges that Tesla is facing in relation to their expansion plans. Despite these obstacles, Tesla continues to make progress on their project in Giga Berlin.
