While Gigafactory Berlin construction has been moving at a fast pace, Tesla Inc TSLA has had a few setbacks, including stopping tree clearing due to animal rights activists court cases.
Now, a report from Electrek says Tesla has missed a $100 million security deposit, which is causing things to go on hold temporarily. Tesla didn’t obtain overall approval to build Gigafactory Berlin, according to Electrek, and is operating with partial approvals to keep advancing the project at a quicker pace.

The deposit is needed in case the project is never finished. In the event that happens, Tesla would be responsible to pay for the demolition. The $100 million deposit covers that possibility, although at this point it seems unlikely.
The payment was supposedly due on Dec. 17.
