While recent events have shown that vehicles produced at the Berlin plant in Germany have been praised by many Europeans and are gradually increasing in speed, a recent revelation has exposed the problem that although the Berlin Gigafactory has only been open for a few weeks, the facility has experienced its first environmental challenge this week.
Earlier this week, a water-contaminating liquid leaked from the paint shop at the Berlin factory, which escaped Monday night because the valve was not completely closed, and fortunately, spokesman Thomas Frey has confirmed that the substance has been fully captured and collected in a collection tank and then pumped out by an approved waste disposal company, which Tesla also reported to the water authority of the Oder-Spree district, according to local reports.
However, Tesla's actions drew outrage from the Oder-Spree District Water Association, which noted that the actions were not included in the company's report on the incident: "We were surprised that we didn't know this, the substances flowed, but the information didn't flow, and we needed that information to ensure the safety of drinking water services at the time of the accident and to be able to assess the contaminant inputs in the sewage system." ”
