According to foreign media reports, a fire broke out at the recycling plant at Tesla's Berlin super factory in the early hours of Monday morning local time, prompting longtime critics of the plant to call for a halt to production.

At 3 a.m. local time on Monday, a fire broke out in a recycling plant northeast of Tesla's Berlin super factory with 800m3 of paper, cardboard and wood, according to foreign media reports. It took 50 firefighters, 12 of them from Tesla's own fire brigade, to bring the fire under control until close to 8 a.m.

Fortunately, no one was hurt and the fire did not spread to other parts of the factory. Now, however, critics of Tesla's Berlin superfactory project are calling for a halt to production because of the fire, and it may be those who opposed the plant in the first place.

At the beginning, Tesla's idea of building a factory in Berlin drew mixed reactions there, and the company was even sued in court because it was accused of publishing misleading advertisements on carbon dioxide emissions.

It is reported that the Berlin Super Factory, Tesla's fourth super factory, held its opening ceremony on March 22 this year and currently only produces Model Y.

In June, the plant's weekly production reached 1000 vehicles for the first time, an important milestone since the plant began production in March, meaning the plant's monthly capacity has exceeded 4000 vehicles.

At the end of July this year, foreign media reported that Tesla Berlin Super Factory plans to start producing 3000 Model Ys a week from October. During an earnings call in July, Drew Baglino, Tesla's senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, pointed out that the plant's weekly production could reach 5000 vehicles by the end of this year.

Tesla pointed out that over time, the Berlin superfactory should have an annual production capacity of about 500000 vehicles to meet the region's demand for all-electric crossovers.
