> Carmakers are also defined as a COVID19 critical industry, and every other carmaker manufacturing in the United States is either open, or capable of open today. This puts Tesla at a serious disadvantage.
Why is Tesla not allowed to be open, then? Is it classified differently somehow?
- conanbatt 6y agoA state thing surely.
- tick_tock_tick 6y agoThe county of Alameda is overriding the state of California's rule that would allow them to open and the federal classifications that would allow them to remain open.
- josefx 6y agoThese are basically broad guidelines that can be modified locally. The county with Teslas factory has made it repeatedly clear that it does not consider the factory to be essential. However as far as I understand it is enforcing stricter rules in general and not just singling Tesla out.
