The production of electric cars has started in Tesla’s Gigafactory in Grünheide, Brandenburg. The opening ceremony took place in the presence of political celebrities, and activists taped themselves to the ground in front of the factory premises.
When Tesla boss Elon Musk arrives, it’s show time. Cheers and applause erupted from employees, customers and guests when he and Chancellor Olaf Scholz entered a factory building shortly following noon on Tuesday for the official opening of the new Tesla plant in Grünheide near Berlin. Cell phones shot up en masse for recordings like a pop star performance, loud music shook the walls.
