TL;DR Summary
Arsonists calling themselves the Volcano Group caused close to $1 billion in damages to Tesla's German factory by setting a high-voltage power mast ablaze, leading to a production stop and affecting over 60,000 residents. The attack severed power lines, forcing 12,500 employees to be sent home, with production not expected to resume for several days. The group had previously targeted the factory during its construction phase, adding to a series of challenges faced by Tesla's only European factory, including recent pollution concerns and disruptions in the supply chain.
