Tesla restored operations at its Giga Berlin on Wednesday, following a week-long power outage caused by an arson attack near the gigafactory site in Germany, Kallanish reports. “Thanks to the hard work of the Tesla Giga Berlin team and support from the community, the factory is back online,” company’s ceo Elon Musk said in a brief post on X. Despite visiting the facility in Grünheide, he did not disclose current production levels nor when Tesla expects to reach the volume rate from before the shutdown on 5 March. A day earlier, Andre Thierig, senior manufacturing director at Giga Berlin, said the power supply to the plant had been restored. “It will certainly take some time before we have fully resumed production,” he added. On Wednesday, both Musk and Thierig met Brandenburg government officials, including energy minister Jörg Steinbach who said Tesla stands by the state and government stands by Tesla. “Together we condemn the attack, which must have legal consequences for the attackers,” he adds. The EV manufacturer has suggested it will be hit with hundreds of millions of euros in damages, as the result of the production disruption.
