Germany's top prosecutor has taken over the investigation into an alleged arson attack on Tesla's power supply near Berlin, suspecting the involvement of a terrorist organization. Production at Tesla's electric vehicle plant was halted due to a suspected arson attack on a power pylon, causing a power outage that affected tens of thousands of residents and facilities. A far-left organization claimed responsibility for the fire, citing grievances against Tesla's working conditions.
