It's not like Tesla has a choice. From the e-mail:
>Choosing not to report to work may eliminate or reduce your eligibility for unemployment depending on your state’s unemployment agency
Tesla is not the one making the rules of unemployment benefits. They merely informing people of the rules.
What is Tesla supposed to do: lie to the government about employment status of their employees? Pay them even if they don't work?

- natch 6y agoFalse dichotomy. Nobody is completely safe from the virus. There will be illnesses both in the factory, and outside it. It’s better that the workers have jobs, have an employer that stays in business, and have health care benefits for their families. If you want people to be safer, that is safer. But again nobody is completely safe. There are going to be cases whether people go to work or not. But the factory is arguably a safer environment than most homes for virus transmission. I’ve been there and it’s a pretty damn sterile place where viruses would not thrive imho. I realize it can stay viable for weeks on certain surfaces but I wouldn’t be surprised if the average surface in a home is more virus friendly than that factory. So, arguably safer.
