But wait, rewind to March. An alleged arson attack left Giga Berlin’s power supply crippled. Repair costs soared, exceeding €1 million

The setback reverberated beyond the factory gates, affecting Berlin districts and Brandenburg towns

Yet, like a phoenix rising, Giga Berlin didn’t falter. The power pylon was rebuilt—no small feat. Precision engineering, meticulous assembly—the factory roared back to life

In response, Adis, the network operator, fortified security. Cameras watched every angle, fences stood tall, and vigilant guards ensured safety. Tesla’s commitment? Unwavering

Elon Musk demanded justice. George Steinbach echoed the sentiment. But tensions simmered—the clash between Tesla and environmental activists intensified
