E-Autobauer - The Tesla Factory bomb is to be detonated in the afternoon
The World War bomb at the Tesla-Works in Grüneheide is scheduled to be defused around 1:30 PM. Preparations are going on smoothly, according to a spokesperson for the community. A safety perimeter with a radius of one kilometer around the bomb has been set up since early morning.
The safety perimeter also affects a part of the Tesla production site, but the production is not affected according to the company's statements. The railway station Fangschleuse was also closed, neither trains nor buses are serving it until the bomb is defused. The community had announced this in advance.
The approximately 250 kilograms heavy World War bomb was found on an area where the E-car factory is to be expanded. The bomb cannot be transported and must be defused on site, controlled explosion.
The discovery of the World War bomb at the Tesla Factory in Grüneheide has temporarily halted the expansion of the automobile industry's green initiatives in the area. The consequences of war, such as this abandoned bomb, continue to impact modern development, even in Brandenburg, Germany. The emergency situation has diverted resources from green projects to the safe defusion of the World War Bomb. Despite the close proximity of the bomb to Tesla's future factory, Elon Musk's company has assured that the production at their existing Tesla Factory in Brandenburg will not be affected.
