1. The protestors were so brave, determined, and dedicated to justice. Thank you for acting, protestors!

2. So do they want more Internal Combustion Engine vehicles then? Are they protesting for more oil?

3. Why arent they storming a company that makes combustion engined cars? I am confused.

4. Professional agitators gonna agitate. It's an industry at this point.

5. So when BMW expands its factory to build more petrol cars, there are no protests? These activists are all paid by BMW/Audi/Mercedes to destroy Tesla

6. Nur Personen die eine Straftat planen, tragen üblicherweise eine Maske, noch gilt die Unschuldsvermutung. Warum setzt die deutsche Polizei das Vermummungsverbot nicht durch? Tesla sollte seine Fabrik nach Ungarn oder in die Slowakei verlegen. Die Deutschen sollten sich auf Pendalgetriebene Lastenfahräder und Flatterstrom spezialisieren!

7. Uvek su bili surovi nacisti ali uvek su dobijali po nĺod Rusa i drugih i opet ce ako krenu da misle da su najbolji.
   Jesu jaka nacija ali ima opasnijih

8. Leftists protesting against economic developement in dying east Germany. There need to be much more companies like Tesla who want to invest in this region, if you don't want people to be more and more frustrated and voting for right-wing parties like the AfD (as leftists do). Yet leftists think it is right to protest the companies who want to bring developement and life to east Germany, without taking heavy government subsidies like Intel did. They should protest to support Tesla.

9. ACAB !
   1312 !

10. When I don't like something, I scream at someone else about it because it helps. shrugs

12. Vivat Polizei

13. The L in the Environmentalism stands for lie

14. Hans, hol die panzerfaust

15. If only the police in the UK could do this. This so called eco activism is only a label to cover up their true identity as they want to cause chaos. There has never been any real evidence to prove the existence of climate change. The world has been going through changes since the beginning of time.

16. “We don’t like fossil fuels”
    “Ok we’ll build an electric car factory”
    Continues protesting anyway

17. They're anti-capitilist protestors, get your facts rights guardian!

18. Starbucks struggled to get into Italy for years, Tesla is taking too hard of an approach

19. reminds me of a concert with heavy metal bands in the 90s

20. they are probably the ones who were laid off😂😂

21. Let's all stand for having a better environment ❤❤❤

22. WOW!.

23. Da geht noch was…..

24. Go protest in India.

25. A bunch of Marxists under the disguise of (in the name of) so-called ‘climate goodwill’. Disrupt the capitalism? Do they really know what that mean?

26. Yes, they want to destroy Tesla, but they don't realize that BYD and the others are now popping the champagne corks. Cast from Germany

27. Domestic car companys are selled to China, and USA building their car brand in heart of Germany. In future young Gemans will be working power of U.S.
    Nice…

28. This is Astro tuff . Mercedes and BMW don’t want competition. A lot of those guys drove their Tesla to the protest.

29. Tesla is bad for the environment and lithium too

30. This is what socialism looks like. Businesses can barely run because of all the red tape and govt corruption.

31. People are standing up for what’s there.

32. Storming Tesla for clothes mate change is hilarious. We're meant to storm Tesla to protest illegal cobalt mining in the Congo, storm dirty energy companies and the government for climate change and other state related issues. Global issues arguably though, Tesla and musk are big economic players, so maybe some reporters could ask musk about what potential solutions this supposed genius might have?

33. I mean if you build a factory in a nature reserve area, start the process of building it before receiving the official building permit and then on top of that reduce the groundwater level in the region through the factory, yeah then obviously that will bother people.

34. Bro, if this was in America there would be so many casualties already

35. Police proctect the rich only.

36. Most of the times these cars are not clean either, being produced and feuled by dirty power. Plus the construction of the factory does a lot of damage to the environment and local water supply. People should do their research before criticizing the protest.

37. Eight hundred protesters attempt to storm German Tesla factory ► https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/10/tesla-protest-germany-factory

38. How did they get back from Malmo so quickly???

39. Mind you allowing a far right muppet like Musk control of any electricity production is hardly sensible.

40. "What are you doing today guys?"
    "We're going to save the world by protesting outside a factory."
    "Oh great. So what is it.. an oil refinery? ..a petrochemical company? ..factory farming?"
    "No, it's a company that makes electric cars, installs EV charging stations, builds energy storage solutions and manufactures solar panels."
    "Oh. Ok then." <:-O

41. Makes me wonder if companies should think twice or three times about setting up base in Germany.

42. Astroturfing campaign by German automakers. They faked diesel emissions tests, it's not a stretch to realize they'd do this too.

43. Wait, do they want electric vehicles? Or not.

44. Sponsored by BMW and Mercedes😅

45. Вот почему завод в Китае всегда хвалят и ставят в пример. Илон совершил большую ошибку выбрав Берлин. Они атомные станции закрыли и остались без энергоресурсов, тогда уже надо было понять уровень безумства этих людей)
