A group of environmentalists is asking the city of Austin to withhold Tesla's permit for its upcoming battery cathode material factory next to Gigafactory Texas over concerns about water supply along the Colorado River. Over the last two years, Tesla was simultaneously building massive factories in Germany near Berlin and in Texas, near Austin. In Germany, the company ran into many issues with environmentalists challenging the automaker's permits over a multitude of concerns ranging from deforestation to water usage.
