I really don’t see that as misleading. Do you? Evocative imagery for sure, but that’s surely less boring than “the specimen exhibited an incandescence of magnitude…”

It boils down to whether the main goal is to have fun or read something factual. If "west of Berlin near Nennhausen" === "over Berlin", I don't know what to say.

There's an agglomeration area around Berlin(-Brandenburg) which is similar to a sibling commenter's "DC area" example (of course smaller). The Gigafactory is just outside this imaginary dotted line; Nennhausen is way over to the West.
