Interesting to see that a vehicle being built essentially because it is a 'greener' alternative and supported by public funding could not find another industrial area, maybe even 'waste or reclaimed' ground. It is also pertinent that there is no showing of the massive forest they cut down at the beginning of the video to create another building site. Just seems very ungreen to be green.
There are many reasons why Tesla decided to built at this area.
Concerning the "massive" cut down of forest as you call it, look at the map where I marked the building site and the rest of the forest....
The spruce trees planted 60 years ago are mono culture with little ecological benefit and there is a large bark beetle infestation caused by drought for many years. They had to be cut down anyhow soon.
Industrial area with 100-300 hectares without soil problems is not that easy to find. Further the area needs to be near a large town where qualified employees can be found (12.000) A good infrastructure is most important. On site there is a motorway, several railway lines (very green), the new Berlin airport is nearby (short transport distance) Ultimately, Musk wants to run his giga factory as completely with renewable energies as possible, and Brandenburg is also a very good location for him in this respect: The federal state now covers 32.4 percent of its energy sources from renewable energies. As Tesla wants to produce within the next 12 month there was no way to play around any longer for an investment of 4 billion Euro!!!!
