Tesla managed to get permission to finish the factory for the Germany gigafactory. However, Tesla gigafactory still has some problems.
US electric car giant Tesla has received approval from German authorities to finish construction of the German gigafactory, but it still has to face a number of problems. Officials in the eastern state of Brandenburg, where the factory is located, will monitor Tesla's water use, step by step.
In the lawsuit, which was seen last Friday, it turned out that the smiling party was Tesla. The request to stop, initiated by environmentalists in Germany and people living in the area of the factory, was turned down in a controlled manner.
Tesla gets controlled approval for Germany gigafactory
The Grueneheide gigafactory in southeast Berlin is planned to produce 500,000 vehicles per year. Announced with great controversy in November 2019, the project was lauded by politicians in Germany, who are proud of their line of cars.
Tesla took advantage of the expedited pre-approval process because it would produce an electric car and was allowed to begin construction before receiving official planning permission. However, this rapid course of the American manufacturer was stopped by activists due to the environmental effects of the factory.
Gigafactory's intense water demand has been a question mark for those living in this drought-affected region. But as a result of Friday's lawsuit, Tesla was allowed to build the factory. However, there are still some critical conditions for the plant to start vehicle production.
A Tesla spokesperson said that production at the factory should begin "almost immediately". Tesla Germany gigafactory officials remain silent about when they will start the production line.
While Tesla's next challenge will be to find workers to work at the factory, the factory currently employs 2,500 to 3,000 people, according to union sources. Although not yet confirmed by Tesla, according to local media reports, this figure is planned to be increased to 12,000.
