The electric carmaker, which already has 300 hectares of
land for its auto factory and battery plant under construction, planned to
build a freight station, logistics areas and parking spaces on the additional
space, Gruenheide mayor Arne Christiani told RBB.
The proposal will be discussed at a municipality meeting on
June 2.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Gruenheide plant, which at full capacity will produce
500,000 electric cars a year, began production in March 2022 after a series of
licensing delays which chief executive Elon Musk said ran counter to the
urgency needed to tackle climate change.
Local water suppliers warned when Tesla was granted final
approval to begin production at the factory that servicing any future expansion
to the plant will be impossible without importing water from other regions.
Meanwhile, Tesla's chief, billionaire Elon Musk was sued by
Twitter investors claiming he manipulated the company's stock price downward,
as the chief executive of electric carmaker Tesla mounts a $44 billion takeover
bid for the social media platform.
The investors said Musk saved himself $156 million by
failing to disclose that he had purchased more than 5 percent of Twitter by
March 14. They asked to be certified as a class and to be awarded an
unspecified amount of punitive and compensatory damages.
They also named Twitter as a defendant, arguing the company
had an obligation to investigate Musk's conduct, though they are not seeking
damages from the firm. © Reuters
