While Tesla has received strong government support for its project to build a massive electric vehicle factory outside of Berlin, Germany, the automaker has run into some issues with local environmentalist groups due to the need to clear a large part of the forest in Brandenburg in order to build the plant.
The automaker already cleared 90 acres, and it is committed to planting three times as many trees as it cuts down throughout the process.
During the first phase of deforestation, Tesla had to move endangered bats in order to proceed..
The Brandenburg Nature Conservation Union (Nabu) have filed a lawsuit to stop the process and the court ordered Tesla to temporarily stop the deforestation until a final decision.
The issue apparently revolves around lizards and snakes in the forest that Tesla were supposed to move before starting to clear trees.
