Part 7/10:
Tesla faces scrutiny over environmental concerns at its Berlin Gigafactory. Allegations from environmentalists accuse Tesla of water pollution and environmental crimes related to improper permits for pile-driving activities—primarily linked to solar panel installation segments. Tesla has responded by establishing a new department at Giga Berlin dedicated to overseeing building permits, which should address regulatory issues moving forward.
This situation highlights the ongoing tension between rapid industrial expansion and environmental compliance—an issue increasingly relevant for large-scale manufacturing facilities.
