Berlin/London CNN —Power supply to Tesla’s factory near Berlin has been cut following an arson attack on a high-voltage electricity pylon nearby, a German official said Tuesday.
“If the initial findings are confirmed, this is a perfidious attack on our electricity infrastructure.
He said power supply to the Tesla plant as well as nearby villages had been cut off.
German public broadcaster ZDF reported that the factory had been evacuated and its workers sent home.
It is unclear if the arson attack is connected with ongoing protests against a planned expansion of the Tesla factory.
