Berlin Tesla activists, feeling betrayed by regional politicians over the expansion of Tesla's electric car factory, declared civil disobedience as their only recourse. They criticized not just Tesla but the broader auto industry for environmental and political concerns. Amidst protests involving thousands, police braced for further disturbances following a previous day's violent clashes, though the latest demonstrations remained largely peaceful. Concerns were raised about local environmental damage and the global impact of mining practices for electric car components.
