After anti-Tesla activists clashed with police in Germany last week, local councillors today backed Elon Musk’s plan to make Tesla’s only European gigafactory even bigger

The controversial expansion of Tesla ’s only European gigafactory was approved on Thursday, as the local council in the German municipality of Grünheide voted in favor of the carmaker’s plans to grow its facility near Berlin. The majority of 19 council representatives supported Tesla ’s plans to expand its only European gigafactory. Eleven councilors voted in favor of the expansion, six voted against, while two abstained.

” TDHA is just one of a wide alliance of environmental groups who oppose the expansion, claiming that the factory’s presence threatens to pollute local water supplies and describing the carmaker’s reputation as an environmentally friendly company as misleading. 'I'm pissed,” says Manu Hoyer, spokesperson for the Citizens Initiative Grünheide , which represents local residents who oppose the factory, in a statement.
