the mess in berlin was predictable.

As a native German this is embarrasssssing 💀🤦🏻‍♀️

Do they protest other factories with such fervor? Isn't also worth noting that Tesla uses less water than may of the other factories in the country as well as recover and reuses some of that water. I've been really trying to understand their argument against Tesla in lieu of other companies seeming acting way worse on the environment in the country...yet I haven't heard of them descending upon those companies and it's making it seem like it's all paid for and planned by other car companies, oil companies and other businesses with an axe to grind against Tesla.

Optimus Security new update coming soon.

It's easy to see the ,,disruptive,,element is organized

the police: we can't use water cannons here, we have to save water!

These protesters make themselvces look like fools.

The translation of the anti-Tesla protest banner "Tesla den HAHN abdrehen ist Handarbeit" from German to English is: "Turning off Tesla's TAP is manual labor." This phrase metaphorically suggests that stopping Tesla requires effort and hands-on action.

This is not a forest. It is a tree farm.

Hey man, I live in Germany and I enjoy your show a lot. Very informative! However, the protestors aren't calling for a ban on private automobiles. They want the government to massively cut down it's spending on driving infrastructure (because Germany has the largest and one of the best maintained road networks in Europe) and to instead direct those funds to rail and biking infrastructure. Germany's rail system has become bit of a joke around Western Europe. It is not a Capitalism v Communism fight as you portray it.

The goal of Disrupt Now is to disrupt. Not a very positive ultimate goal. How about joining a cause that aims to help people?

The protesters seem to be concerned with water, but not directly communicating the precise problem or solution. If Tesla is taking too much water, then specify the amount taken, needed etc.

It looks like Mercedes Benz is spending some black money in Germany

Who is financing this attack ? This had nothing to do about the environment, more about slowing Tesla to help VW, BMW, Oil amd Unions.

Very telling that the EDEKA bottle recycling factory across the street is never mentioned and stays unharmed. Their bottle washing process consumes an awful 😞 lot of water 💦.

Very smart, use diruptive elements for your advertisment 😅🙃😉 ..

Elon could have open the gigafactory in the motor valley in Italy and everybody would have been happy

Im waiting for ,,fully,,autonomous!!

Wow, that ended abruptly.

It's not a forest if it doesn't have biodiversity

"Lay thrup" for future videos. :-) Good information as usual. I have some very challenging turns (apparently) that FSD doesn't currently do so well on. Can't wait to see if 12.4 solves those.

So true 4:30

FSD still has to be supervised by the driver, somewhat contradicting the name.

Huge depreciation on cybertruck EV's.

It’s hard enough to find time to take a vacation but how and why these protesters waste days/weeks and living in the forest is wild to me. I just don’t get it.

I’m certain plans for expansion will go on hold due to market conditions

Isn’t there a no resale policy for the cyber truck the first year?

But I thought the approval for Cruise was limited to certain roads only...

What about the gigacasting? Is it out?

Ok, I'm confused. 8:00 [G.M. Supercruse has always been hands-free the entire time it's been on the market.] And Tesla STILL does not have Hands Free? Is there a difference between Self Driving and Hands free? Fully Autonomous? What am I missing?

Nah, I think there is a sinister plot TBH.

I wonder why he didn't build in Poland? I don't think there would have been as much red tape.

MAKE THEM INTO SOYLENT GREEN

I'm really impressed with how you covered the protests here. Very fair. You actually described the issue as far as you could tell, and even defined what demonstrations are for, very objectively. A typical Tesla fan channel would describe this from a 'my team vs their team' bullshh perspective- which is the opposite of perspective, obviously. When stanning for a corporation like Mac vs PC to the extent that it changes your cultural politics and worldview (scarily something that's happening more and more often) then you've kind of lost the ability to discern truth. Nice work. Liked, commented, subbed 👏🏽🍻 *Sorry so pedantic. Also got a little sanctimonious

Here the thing Germany have planted these trees to be harvest the Haven planted these trees to be a forest.

Probably a little more attention on spelling. The Spelling of Victoria in Australia’s capital is Melbourne. 😏

"Melborne" should have been spelt "Melbourne" - don't want to upset Victorian's in Australia with their capital city name.

Nothing would satisfy these people

Always thought building a base in the north was stupid even if it was simpler then elsewhere , kinda like baseing your new car company near Detroit. There is a reason why the south is full of production and the north isn't . Hopefully, if they plan to expand in europe they go where the most of the german and french companies did , far less hassle and cheaper labor.

Seems like competitors seating public opinion.... possibly Mercedes, BMW, Mini, Volkswagen and other competitors inciting riots...?

who is paying for and organizing this?

Renjie and Tom ZHU should be pronounced JU. See pinyin romanization of Mandarin for reference.

As a german i dissaprove of this behaviour NUH Uh

That village is a full 5km (3.1 miles) away from giga Berlin. Why does their opinion matter at all?

The blabk & blues look legit, no? Could not scream "on payroll" any louder.

My guess is Bidens Puppet Strings

berlin guys dont you have 3000 techno clubs in that city go have fun, the only company attacked because its too tech advanced even makes them be scared more than others

You're asking the wrong question. The most importing thing to know is, "Who is funding this group and organizing them?"

At The Tesla Space, we always have a problem 😂

Public transit isn't communism vs capitalism. Just from a logistics standpoint you can move a lot more people in a lot less space with a train. It's not like cars don't require massive public expenditure, roads are not at all cheap and because they spread everything out to make room for roads and parking lots you end up building more of them.

Doesn't Germany understand they lost every war they have been in, in over 100 years

I think electric vehicles is a great thing but wow $150,000 for the pickup?

Serve Elon right he should have set up in the UK ! The EU and Germany are ultra progressive! Tesla should be in the UK!!!!

Elon should have built the factory in the UK. Said this four years ago.

1000 i going

25000000 bw

This also sounds like an AI voice clone voiceover like the Space Race video. :(

Teslas the best job gig going in Germany. 🤔 Your life blood ,grow up . Tesla is the safest cleanest most reliable brand in automotive history.

I wonder if Tesla has a couple thousand charging stations at the factory...because the workers will have to get back home?

Never build a factory in Germany

ICE carmakers feel threatened.

Elon: same reason of our Jan 6 coup attempt.

The best take on these kinds of "protestors" was captured in a meme Elon posted a while back. A protestor claims to want to save the environment/poor people/polar bears/whatever. The person listening says "be honest". She says "I'm being honest". He stares at her and repeats "be honest". She finally confesses: "I want communism". That meme is the truest, most concise description of 80% of protestors in every protest movement. The vast majority of those people don't actually give a shit about the thing they pretend to care about. They're just cosplaying in their communist revolutionary messiah world savior hero fantasy.

3:08 George Soros is

Germany could reduce it's population density. That would the most effective and quickest way of reducing it's impact on the environment. Oh but your left wing politicians invited in millions of migrants, that was a great idea, wasn't it? Now I'm sure they are mostly lovely people, but the problem is you've made your environmental problems worse. Now there are debates about the materials used in Tesla's but there are othe huge improvements in technology, way ahead of other companies in the auto industry. Perhaps the idea of a mass invasion of Tesla was just a ruse to get alot of people who need to exercise, out running. That's a great idea.

Bought my Tesla as it is an extremely environmentally friendly car .. PV charging it daily in Australia, etc. No petrol life cycle costs at all. No local pollution from my driving (other than tyres). Watching these so called "greenies" makes me just want to SMH.

Clearly the only reason they protested was so that they could be featured in a "The Tesla Space" video.

protestors aka Communists😂

Maybe they just want a huge factory near their village?

Love this bloke Elon

Dude, get the spelling right before publishing. Its Melbourne, not Melborne as in your graphic

As a software engineer, with 35 years experience, I am not taking my eyes too far off the road any time soon. I've seen what an extra or missing equal sign (`=` vs. `==`) can do.

I think these protesters anger would be better directed to the fossil fuel industry.

The groundwater has been contaminated

A bunch of fanatical German youth with a mission... what could go wrong!!

RENT A MOB. who is paying them?

Elon, you made the choice to move into Germany. I say we cut our losses and go somewhere else. Germany has been nothing but trouble.

only 6 days to late with this "news"

For Germany to be as wealthy a country as it is, it has to have a good amount of capitalism itself. And, as already observed, where are the protests at Mercedes and BMW? One then has to conclude that the protests really have more to do with AMERICAN capitalism. I like the German people, but I have noticed that many never miss an opportunity to make a dig at the United States whenever possible. It’s a jealousy thing, I think.

Obviously they have no jobs,....but are they getting paid for their time ??????

This is very odd. German automakers funding this nonsense maybe?

Could the gang sponsored by Tesla's competitor ?

Kinda refreshing to see someone with some much money not able to stop some activists 😂😂😂 these people are not gonna be stopped

Wow, your slant favoring Tesla really sounds like it was written by Tesla PAO. I like your reporting, but not your coverage of the protests. It was more obvious to me that the water issue was a primary driver of the local protestors.

Wanting public transportation is not Communism. It would be the best way to invest for the future in a capitalistic society.

Wtf is wrong with those people

Germans.....

Elon, leave Berlin! Go to India where you will be appreciated.

Activists?? Terrorists!!

the Cybertruck is very bad designed, and parts are made of cheap plastic! Compared to the former Tesla model it is a big step backwards!

The plug in crap is dumb. I'll give everyone that, but, look up the patents and tech thoroughly for gasless and oiless self running generators and solar. EVs wouldn't have to be plugged in. No more blackouts. No more limited range. And so much more. ⚛️🇺🇸

Nearly ten minutes of "journalism" surrounding the Tesla-Grünheide protests, and the abhorrent water-grab happening and still about to increase in an already draught-plagued area which is fuelling the protest weren't even mentioned in any even halfway coherent context - that is *_exactly_* the soil off which protests like these emerge. Why do You do these clips at all when muting everything that's worth knowing then?

I smell George Soros

Communism vs Capitalism LOL After the initial Revolutionary Period (1917-1921), Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy, which reintroduced some market mechanisms and private enterprise to stabilize the economy. When Joseph Stalin came to power (1928-1934), he initiated the first Five-Year Plan, aiming for rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture. While these policies were in line with Marxist-Leninist theory, the methods used were often harsh and authoritarian. After these initial periods, Stalin's rule increasingly deviated from communist ideals. By the late 1930s, Stalin had consolidated power and established a totalitarian regime characterized by extensive state control, political repression, purges, and a personality cult. So for the last 84 years, we've not seen anything actually "communist" out of Russia, because it was taken over by fascist dictators, you're repeating a myth that has worked its way into the culture because of people mis defining words and re-writing history. - now people hear communism and just think bad (which, maybe it is - that's not my point) it's that the thing you are referencing wasn't communism except in name and nothing going on here in Germany is in any way related to the political systems of Russia between 1917 and 1934. People, seemingly misguided if you ask me, are protesting the expansion of a factor near them - I wouldn't be surprised if it was shadow-funded by oil companies like the tea party was, but once again - there's no communism in the argument at all.

Soft and weak leftist reactionary behavior. This demonstrates a loose tribal behavior against change in general. Not a rational reaction to progress, more of a "we do not control or understand this, so it must be stopped, or at least slowed". Sometimes a younger crowd will oppose anything that is a change, not knowing any better. It might also be a grasp or attempt for the group to appear relevant and progressive.

Tesla is not looking so hot. Sell that stock while the selling is good. The cyber truck is not a full size pickup unless you are use to only hauling a laundry basket.

Communism v capitalism is a ridiculous oversimplification!

Obnoxious activists vs obnoxious Elon. They deserve each other.

Left wing protesters vs. right wing liars?

Should have never built a factory in Germany.
