Thousands of visitors expected – Berlin.de
The US electric car manufacturer Tesla is celebrating a big party on the construction site of its first European car factory in Grünheide near Berlin. Thousands of guests are expected today. For example, visitors can take a tour of the construction site and, with a bit of luck, see CEO Elon Musk, who has promised to come. The police expect traffic disruptions on Autobahn 10 and on the premises. The company called on guests to come per lane if possible.
Tesla obtained two special permits for its “County Fair” in the Oder-Spree district: Up to 9,000 visitors can take part at the same time instead of up to 5,000. And Tesla is allowed to organize the major event, even though the construction site is in a drinking water protection area. The district considers the plans suitable for compliance with the Corona Ordinance and also sees no danger for the protected area. Environmentalists fear that the settlement will have a negative impact on nature. Tesla does not yet have any environmental approval from the state of Brandenburg and is building through early approvals. However, approval is considered likely.
