Still in a bit of emotional shock over the attack on Giga Berlin. The discussion here seems to have largely moved on, but something like this is not easily moved past for me.
Spreading FUD is one thing ... a physical attack, to me, despite an easily-written letter claiming responsibility, seem much more the style of fossil-aligned interests than the purported environmental group. There are well funded fossil-dependent groups/interests everywhere ... and one such "interest" is right very active in very physical attacks in Eastern Europe at this very moment. Something like this - hybrid warfare including using pawns and disinformation to throw off the trail - is right up their alley. Plenty of evidence of this sort of thing in Poland right now, Moldova as well... I theorize this, only from the known parameters of the attack and its clear target.
It is really tough to see the factory not even able to be cleared out and repaired yet, presumably until the power is back on. Ouch. Factories shuttered = huge losses per day, and that is not even mentioning repair and restart costs.
It is encouraging to see the Berlin Tesla community coming back for a solidarity event - thank you folks for posting that.
Tesla is extending the runway to land our civilizational jet of runaway resource consumption ... slowing their efforts hurts us all long term. And hurts Tesla now.
Despite the long term hit, I guess we can at least be glad no humans were directly and immediately hurt, per what I have read.
