A couple of general examples why environmental groups may have concerns, none specific to the Tesla story in particular, but I know have happened elsewhere:
- The location has a unique/endangered flora or fauna and building in the specific location would be a significant blow to those species.
- Ground water issues when a large area is paved, roofed or otherwise covered.
- Increased traffic though connecting roads causing related issues.
It's as far as I see never about the specific industry building in the place, but rather the local effects of building in the area that need to be addressed.
