It's not good to lose trees but If you look closely the trees are in line and they are fast growing fir trees. This plantation was grown for harvesting.

I like how his apologists here are putting lipstick on this pig...um, PR on this clearcut. Inexcusable. Musk could have refurbished an existing facility or built on brownfield, but dud this to save a few bucks. As rotten as the pipeline companies, just with more public subsidies.

Sufiy Disaster!!!

It is an artificial forest with very nearly zero wild life (no place to hide for animals) and Tesla has publicly committed to planting 3x the trees cut here at multiple places as chosen by local authorities and environmentalist groups.

Come right up buy cars and batteries commute to pay blah blah yadda yada they will never get it. Can cut trees in a select technique those look like a wind would domino them they do not seem like the healthy old black Forest. Studied environmental horticulture, drove 🚚 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🐩

Painful to watch.

It's a paper mill forest. This is not old-growth Narnia.

Good thing Tesla is planting 3X the trees for replacement.

Shame

7th commandment: “Thou shalt not commit adultery”.....

As the world progresses, the planet is destroyed. We are the world...

Go green fuc*** those trees...

At least we don't have to hear tRump proclaim..'I made a great deal..the bestest deal ever than any other president...

Destroying nature to save it or just make money?

Many people in the world have no access to water. Sad that approximately 500,000 gallons of water is needed per tonne of lithium. I do hope that they have a good plan to prevent toxic chemicals leaking from the evaporation pools into the water supplies.

What!!? Shame on both of the participants!

So they are destroying the planet in order to save the planet? When all of that lithium (12 kg's per battery per vehicle) has to be disposed of, I wonder what's going to happen?

BLDP BE FCEL PLUG It’s pronounced “fuel cells” elonmusk

Electric Cars are so green!

Where is GretaThunberg ? ClimateEmergency

Buy an electric car they said! it will save the environment they said!

Tesla could offset the carbon footprint of their factory by making cars out of ramen noodles.

Forest will only burn in a bushfire one day according to climate change theory ?

Multinational corporations strike again

waste of trees

Imagine if it was some other company doing it.., they would have destroyed them in social media but the tesla cult doesn't care about the environment...

Tesla, So environmentally Friendly. Have they decided where they are going to bury all those 1 tonne batteries that their cars use? Every 5 years.

Judges everywhere anywhere the same. Wish some Tsunami hits them hard such they realize there's something called environment.

📌

Ok, all the climate nutjobs 1 2 3 go ...

Just some ancient Germanian forest. Eco friendly

So not as green as you thought.

Why not build the factory in a desert and surround it with your solar panels. Double win for Elon the Icon. Great way to show Bezos the Stingy how to be human.

Look who got hoodwinked with the no gas fuel better for the environmental narrative.

I thought Tesla was supposed to be helping the Earth?

Noooo save the trees

I hope elonmusk is replacing all of the trees they're taking out.

JFC!

What, no burnt out factories to replace instead?

No. No no no no no. Unacceptable. There are PLENTY of existing spaces this dude could repurpose and use. Shame on them all

And all these people go on about how Elon Musk will save the environment or something.
