"Tesla's German Plant Halts Production Due to $1 Billion in Damages from Eco-Terrorist Attack"

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 the factory's power supply, forcing all 12,500 employees to be sent home, with production not expected to resume for several days. The incident raises concerns about protecting critical infrastructure from vandals, and it adds to a series of challenges faced by Tesla's only European factory, including local opposition and environmental issues.
