BERLIN - Production started up again on Wednesday at Tesla's European gigafactory in Gruenheide, Germany, local radio broadcaster rbb reported, after an arson attack on a nearby electricity pylon led to a costly week-long power outage at the plant.
"The machines have been restarted in a controlled and safe manner so that the early shift can resume," Michaela Schmitz, head of the works council at the site, told the broadcaster.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is expected to visit the factory on Wednesday, according to rbb and other media.
"We will have a team huddle and Mr Musk will also be there," Schmitz said.
The company has so far declined to comment on the reported visit.
Tesla's factory on the outskirts of Berlin was reconnected to the grid on Monday after the arson attack, claimed by far-left activists, knocked out power to the site on March 5.
Tesla has said it expects hundreds of millions of euros in damages as a result of the disruption to production.
