Protesters opposing the expansion of Tesla's plant near Berlin are holding out in trees while police are attempting to dismantle their forested camp. The protest, led by a group objecting to Tesla's plans to extend its facility, focuses on environmental concerns. These demonstrators have clashed with law enforcement, and some previously attempted to breach the European gigafactory, which employs around 12,000 people. Despite adverse weather conditions, protesters continue their resistance. German police have reported safety concerns and noted ongoing efforts to clear the area. The dispute highlights tensions between industrial expansion and environmental activism.
