As Tesla gets its Shanghai Gigafactory up and running after a temporary shutdown earlier this month due to the coronavirus outbreak in China, the company is having to put the brakes on the start of its first such factory in Europe.

A German court ruled over the weekend that Tesla has to temporarily halt work on clearing forests in an area near Berlin, where the company intends to build a Gigafactory that will begin producing vehicles in 2021. The court issued the work stoppage after receiving complaints from a local environmental group about how the plant could negatively impact the area’s drinking water.
