> 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.
False. Most of car factories are still closed in USA. Source - https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/follow-latest-assembly-plant-closings https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/follow-latest-assembl...
- humblebee 6y agoI don't understand how your source supports your current claim. No where does it state the total number of factories closed, but does state that almost all listed factories are opening in May.
- justapassenger 6y agoTesla was also in discussion with alameda county (confirmed by both sides) to reopen on May 18th. Then Elon decided to throw a tantrum and reopen week early, just because he’s rich and above the law.
