The carmaker’s only European gigafactory has become the target of increasingly radical protests since announcing expansion plans.

German climate protesters clashed with police as they attempted to break into Tesla ’s factory site near Berlin on Friday, during a five-day demonstration against the carmaker’s local expansion plans. Footage on social media showed crowds of black-clad protesters running toward Tesla premises. German media reported injuries among police and protesters, as well as an unknown number of arrests. “Why are they not jailed for breaking and entering?” Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on X.

“ have witnessed how the protesters broke through police lines to get onto the factory grounds,” another anti-Tesla protester, Mara, spokesperson for a group called Stop Tesla, told WIRED. “We all stand together to disrupt Tesla.” Breaking into or occupying industrial sites is a common tactic used by more radical parts of the climate movement across Europe.
