Protesters attempt to storm Germany's Tesla factory

AI summary of the linked article

Hundreds of climate protesters clashed with police on Friday after trying to storm Tesla's factory near Berlin, injuring several people, including three police officers. Police made several arrests and prevented activists from entering the facility, while demonstrators blocked a nearby motorway and interrupted railway service. Campaigners have camped in woods in Grünheide, Brandenburg, since February, opposing Tesla's plan to double the factory's size, and Disrupt Tesla spokesman Ole Becker said the protesters aimed to draw attention to "environmental destruction." The Gigafactory currently employs an estimated 12,000 people and makes around 500,000 cars a year.
