The factory, near Berlin, has been the subject of protests by environmental activists.
Tesla halted production at its car factory in the German capital, Berlin, on Tuesday morning after a suspected arson attack nearby.
Local authorities are not currently linking it to environmental activists who have been protesting against the site's expansion.The fire did not reach the electric car maker's factory itself but did burn an electricity pylon and high-voltage wires. However, he cautioned against "premature speculation" over who was responsible for the suspected arson.
Tesla wants to double the size of its plant - which is its only one in Europe - but the protestors are against this as it would involve chopping down nearby trees.The Reuters news agency reported on Tuesday morning that a spokesperson for Robin Wood, one of the environmental groups, said they were "totally surprised by the situation" surrounding the fire.
