TL;DR Summary

The public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany, has launched an investigation into an attack on the power grid supplying energy to Tesla's Gigafactory by environmental activists, leading to a temporary power outage affecting thousands of households in Berlin. The attack, believed to be carried out by the far-left extremist "Volcano Group," resulted in scorch marks on an electricity pylon and disrupted hospital operations. The activists cited concerns about Tesla's treatment of workers and the environment, while Tesla estimated that the sabotage could cost the company hundreds of millions of euros and halt production for over a week.
