Tesla Inc. is yet to submit documents related to its upcoming gigafactory in Grünheide, Berlin, as per local publication rbb24, which cited Brandenburg’s Environment Minister Axel Vogel.

What Happened

The Austin, Texas-based electric vehicle maker does not have a final greenlight from the local authorities for the official start of production at the Giga Berlin as all requested documents have not been submitted.

“In order to be able to implement this in a legally secure manner, it is also necessary that appropriate reports are available, and it is regrettable that not all reports are available in this quality yet,” the report noted in German, citing Brandenburg Environment Minister Axel Vogel.
