They are protesting because:
1. Construction will require clearcutting forest.
2. The factory will use large amounts of water and is being built in a region where water is scarce.
3. The factory will use solvents and paints which can cause groundwater pollution.
4. The local population is opposed to construction on environmental grounds, yet it seems construction will proceed anyway.
Of course, there are also people who are opposed to Tesla or the car industry in general, for both good and foolish reasons. I'd wager Musk being an outspoken anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer doesn't go over well in Germany.
It's shitty reporting, plain and simple. Even Wired got it right.
- walkabilitee 2y ago>1. They dislike Tesla in general because it's controlled by an anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer. This sort of casual slander reveals more about your viewpoint than it does about the protestors, or Elon.

- PauloManrique 2y agoDid they actually said this on their answer tho?
- resbaloso 2y agoYep, water looks to be a huge issue. The video(https://vimeo.com/938795435 https://vimeo.com/938795435) in this article(https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/teslastoppen-elon-musks-water-war-in-the-heart-of-europe/ https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/teslastoppen-elon-musks-water...) helped me better understand what's going on. > the factory used almost 450,000 cubic meters of water, while it is licensed to use up to 1.8 million cubic meters, equivalent to the water consumption of a city with a population of 40,000 people. > residents will only be allowed to use 105 liters of water per person per day, while the national average use is 128 liters per day.
- ranger_danger 2y agoWhat is the issue with cutting down trees when you can always plant more?
- nordstreem 2y agoWhat is the issue with not making more Tesla factories?
- PauloManrique 2y agoEconomic growth, competition, more EVs? If they plant the trees elsewhere, it's fine.

- ranger_danger 2y agoWhy are chefs baking bread? There's buildings to construct.
- nordstreem 2y agoPeople who refuse to continuously integrate new life experience and prefer to idle under one prestige title or two until they die are wild. Feels a lot like rent seeking. It’s a bit Middle Ages; god king has said this man is named Farmer, so he shall farm for life. A monolithic person.
