Fast Technology reported on February 21 that Tesla had encountered a trouble in Germany.
Recently, Tesla's Gigafactory in Greenhead, Brandenburg, near Berlin, Germany, planned to expand, but the decision was strongly opposed by local residents.
For now, the plant only produces the Model Y, but Tesla plans to expand it because of the possibility of a new entry-level model in the future, but since the project was launched, some local residents and environmental groups have publicly opposed it.
A recent poll was held to find out if Greenhead residents supported the expansion plan, which was 70 percent turnout,* with a report saying that a total of 3,499 residents voted against the expansion, while only 1,882 supported it, just over half.
As for the opposition, local residents said the main concern was that the expansion would affect water resources** and lead to deforestation.
It is reported that Tesla plans to expand the new logistics area, which covers an area of 170 hectares, of which more than 100 hectares are forests, which need to be cut down, and if you want to take this land, you need the approval of the local **.
