After months of delays, Tesla was given permission to start production and deliveries at its Berlin plant in February, but it didn’t last long. Berliner-Kurier is saying that sanctions against Russia could lead to the shutdown of Tesla’s German factory.
If Germany decides to impose a gas embargo on Russia, Tesla’s Berlin plant “must close” because the plant relies on natural gas for 60% of its energy needs, said Benjamin Raschke, leader of the Brandenburg state Green Council group.
Benjamin Raschke pointed out, “If Russia cuts off the gas supply to Germany, the German government will give priority to consumers and citizens, giving priority to the limited supply of gas to hospitals and schools, and companies like Tesla that operate large industrial projects, In this situation, we may have to face production shutdowns.”
