"Far-left Group's Sabotage Causes Tesla Gigafactory Fire and Halts German Plant"

A far-left group known as the "Volcano Group" has claimed responsibility for the suspected arson attack that shut down the Tesla Gigafactory near Berlin, citing environmental and labor concerns as motivations. The attack, which cut power to the facility, has halted production and is expected to result in significant losses for Tesla. The group's 2,500-word letter accuses the factory of environmental damage and resource consumption, echoing concerns raised by local officials and activists. German police believe the authenticity of the group's claim, and this incident adds to previous opposition and hurdles faced by the Tesla factory's expansion plans in the region.
