Yesterday’s eco-terrorism attack will cause Tesla to shut down its Berlin plant until the end of the week… 12,000 employees idle…damage could reach over half a billion euros!
Some political leaders vow swift, harsh justice
The latest news today report that Europe’s only Tesla plant, located in Grünheide near Berlin, still remains closed after yesterday’s massive eco-terrorism attack by the extreme leftwing “Vulkan Group”.
See yesterday’s post here.
The attack on a power transmission tower caused a power outage at the Tesla plant and resulted in the deployment of firefighters, police and even an explosives special unit in Grünheide.
There was also a blackout for thousands of residents in the region, according to media outlets.
Nius.de here reports the damage will run in the upper 9-digit range.
According to Nius.de here:
The fire broke out in a transformer near Gosen-Neu Zittau at around 4:50 a.m., one hour before the start of the shift. The nearby small town of Erkner and parts of Berlin were also without power yesterday, the police told Bild. And: Surrounding areas of Woltersdorf, Gosen-Neu Zittau, Freienbrink, Fangschleuse, Wilhelmshagen and Rahnsdorf were also affected by the power outage.”
The Tesla plant manager, André Thierig, said all 12,000 employees had to be sent home on Tuesday and are not expected to return to work this week.
Threat of explosives
Moreover, Germany’s online Bild reports that “the emergency crews had to withdraw when they discovered an activist tent that was emblazoned with the words ‘Explosive ordnance buried here!'”
The Brandenburg Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service (KMBD) had to be deployed.
Reaction form politicians was swift and harsh: “This has nothing to do with protest. These are criminals,” said Brandenburg’s Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) on the RBB program Brandenburg aktuell on Tuesday evening. “They are criminals and we will hunt them down with all the means our constitutional state has at its disposal.”

I design the electrical power for large plants like this. Due to downtime costs almost everyone had generators. The cost of a couple days down can easily pay for the generators. It’s cheap insurance. Far smaller plants than this all around.
I shake my head at not having this setup with generators.

JoshC — you can the richest and smartest man in the world and still miss out on the wisdom of your experience. Or, maybe, the radical Greens have been quieted in recent years through having a voice in the ruling German coalition? If so, this may be a genuine risk surprise.
