A group of environmental activists stormed Tesla's gigafactory in Berlin, Germany, sparking widespread criticism and debate over the target of their protest. Despite their intentions to draw attention to issues like public transport accessibility and anti-capitalism, many commentators criticized the protesters for attacking a company that is at the forefront of producing electric vehicles, which are seen as crucial in the fight against climate change. The factory, located in Grünheide, Brandenburg, was the scene of the protest during Germany's National Protest Week. The incident led to the arrest of 16 people and injuries to dozens. Tesla's factory, known for its low water consumption and high recycling rates, was undamaged as protesters did not breach its defenses. The protest coincided with a scheduled holiday, and Tesla is noted for recycling up to 100% of its water and having the lowest water consumption in the industry.

Why are degrowth activists attacking a factory that makes *electric* cars you ask?
