how is car manufacturing 'critical infrastructure'? Is the case number, 'Case 4:20-cv-03186' significant?

  The list of critical infrastructure industries is outlined in this federal government document... https://www.cisa.gov/publication/guidance-essential-critical-infrastructure-workforce https://www.cisa.gov/publication/guidance-essential-critical... It lists among other things... "Workers critical to the manufacturing, distribution, sales, rental, leasing, repair, and maintenance of vehicles and other transportation equipment (including electric vehicle charging stations) and the supply chains that enable these operations to facilitate continuity of travel-related operations for essential workers."

    I don't think this really covers manufacture of general consumer passenger vehicles. The intent is clearly to maintain transportation capability for genuinely critical workers (healthcare, food distribution and sales, police and emergency, etc). If their tesla breaks down, there is no need to manufacture a new one, they can just grab one from the sales lot.

      It definitely does, you are reading way to much into it. Look at the full list. How do you think all the other essential workers are going to get to and from work?

        Well i don't think they are going to buy a new car for the purpose. Even if they did, there are many already-manufactured waiting to be sold.

          I feel like you are confusing your personal opinion and preferences with what the document says in writing.

            I think you are reading the document too broadly.
