In this era, in the main theme of technology and environmental protection, Tesla is like a leading dancer, leading the global electric vehicle industry to dance.
It is not only synonymous with innovation, but also a pioneer of the future of mobility. However, just as there must be shadows under the sun, Tesla's journey of global expansion has also encountered a dilemma of ice and fire - warmly welcomed in China, and in Europe, especially Germany, it has faced a cold reception and resistance from the public.
The story behind this not only reflects the collision of cultures in the process of globalization, but also reveals the delicate balance between environmental protection and economic development.
"Those who know the house are in the world, and those who know the government are in the grass." The words of the ancients are also true today.
Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai, China, is like a shining pearl, not only because of its efficient production capacity and excellent product quality, but also because it has substantially improved the local employment situation, providing workers with better wages and working conditions than industry standards, and has become a model of corporate social responsibility in China.
Here, Tesla is not only a symbol of the car brand, but also a powerful engine to promote local economic development, establishing a deep emotional bond with the Chinese people.
However, when this "Tesla whirlwind" blew into Berlin, Germany, it encountered a very different climate.
Germany, a country with a deep car culture, is not groundless in its resistance to Tesla. Opponents are waving the banner of environmental protection, fearing that the production of batteries at Tesla's gigafactory will cast a shadow over the local blue sky and white clouds, and that the ecological balance will be disrupted.
They believe that although electric vehicles reduce tailpipe emissions during the use phase, the potential environmental pollution in the manufacturing and disposal of their batteries cannot be ignored.
This ambivalence is like "you can't have both", reflecting the irreconcilable contradiction between the pursuit of scientific and technological progress and the protection of the natural environment in modern society.
Dressed in black, masked and carrying umbrellas, these so-called German "protesters" broke through the German police lines and stormed Tesla's German factory.
It has to be said that this premeditation was very successful, and Tesla had to announce the temporary closure of the factory and announced a temporary suspension of production for 4 days.
In this controversy, some people pointed the finger at Tesla founder Elon Musk, labeling him as a representative of "capitalists", ignoring Tesla's positive contribution to improving employee welfare and promoting employment.

For those who truly understand the mechanism of capitalism, Tesla's treatment of employees is rare among many companies, reflecting Musk's respect for and investment in the value of talent.
As for the opposition of the German people, in addition to deep environmental concerns, it may also be mixed with a sense of uncertainty about the future of the traditional combustion engine industry.
Germany, a country that has given birth to many top car brands, will inevitably have a sense of crisis in the face of the rise of electric vehicles.
As a result, some speculate that it may be these traditional automakers who are fueling the undercurrent in an attempt to protect their market share from being disrupted by emerging forces. Although this speculation has not been confirmed, it undoubtedly reflects the complex game and entanglement of interests in the transition period of the industry.
Tesla's global expansion is not only a triumphant song of technological innovation and market demand, but also a microcosm of the collision of cultural differences and environmental awareness.
How to properly handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection while promoting technological progress, and ensure that scientific and technological progress benefits all mankind without sacrificing nature, is a common issue facing us.
As the old saying goes: "If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you believe partially, you will be dark." "Only by listening to the voices of all parties and seeking consensus can we draw a better picture of the future in the harmonious coexistence of science and technology and nature.
