Now the finished work also has its building permit

Tesla must first meet a number of requirements before it can start. The company was confident: “We will try to work through this as quickly as possible,” said Tesla. The company also wants to build new types of batteries in Grünheide. According to Tesla, around 3,000 people are currently employed there.

The approval had been postponed in recent months, partly because the company had added the construction and operation of a battery factory to its application for approval. After the updated motion was interpreted, a discussion began of hundreds of objections from critics, which the country repeated following criticism from environmental groups over a deadline.
