The company also plans to build underground lines and install rooftop solar panels. This expansion aims to double the plant's capacity, producing up to 1 million vehicles annually. Battery production is set to increase to 100 gigawatt-hours per year.

However, environmentalists are concerned about the factory's impact on the local water supply. The factory is in a drinking water protection area, sparking opposition. No permissions were granted for further forest clearing needed for a planned railway station.

The expansion may face fewer protests by avoiding additional forest clearing. Tesla can start construction early but at its own risk, pending the official building permit.
