Tesla' logo is seen on the Tesla factory building in Berlin, Germany on February 22, 2024.
A Tesla plant outside of Berlin was reportedly forced to halt production Tuesday after an electricity substation was set alight in a suspected arson attack.
The Gruenheide factory, located southeast of the German capital, was left without power, as were parts of wider city, Reuters cited German newspaper Berliner Zeitung as saying.
It comes as Tesla's expansion plans for its Gruenheide plant have come up against fierce opposition.
However, last month locals voted down plans to raze nearby trees to make way for the enlarged plant.
