Tesla’s first European factory needs more water to expand. Drought stands in its way

Tesla’s first European factory needs more water to expand. Drought stands in its wayLocal activist and politician Thomas Loeb, 55, in front of the Tesla factory in Gruenheide on Oct. 26. Loeb is concerned that the factory poses a risk to the groundwater, forest and wildlife around it, and that Tesla has not been transparent about its manufacturing processes and developments.

The manufacturing plant is in the east German state of Brandenburg, one of the most water-scarce regions of the country. Residents fear an expansion would lead to a water shortage.
