The site is a 3 km2 designated industrial zone,[1] extending North from the 1 km2 "GVZ Freienbrink" logistics centre,[2] and set amidst the much larger pine plantations in a landscape-scale conservation.[3] It was scheduled for a BMW car factory in the year 2000, but BMW chose Saxony instead.[4] Low-quality plantations occupy the site, and authorities expect Tesla to mitigate felling by planting new trees.[5]
The expected cost for the factory is around €4 billion.[6] Some of the reasons for choosing Brandenburg were that industrial site is expandable, the state has the highest production of green power per citizen in Germany, and there are qualified workers in the area.[7]
