The Tesla factory in Berlin is going to host a techno club. Tesla’s Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory manager André Thierig announced the opening of a techno club named “Hamster” within the site on social media. The club aims to tap into Berlin’s renowned techno culture, now a UNESCO heritage, though some note the irony in a huge corporate entity like Tesla entering the underground scene. Local artists and techno fans mocked Hamster on social media, with one user commenting “If the first place you announce a club is on LinkedIn it’s definitely not a club you want to visit.” The club’s timing isn’t great either: it’s happening while Tesla is facing local opposition to its factory expansion.
