I am not a lawyer - you need to speak to one - a really good one, specializing in employment law in your state and probably also in California/Texas or whatever state your management/'official site is located. Things get complicated in a hurry and you'll want to preserve your options.
In general, as others have advised, do not quit voluntarily as that basically gives away the store — Tesla will have no obligation whatsoever for severance, unemployment comp, etc. It appears that this is also why Elon tweeted something like "if you don't show up we will assume you quit" - that's a classic employer's line to evade any responsibility for terminating your employment, and put you at best in a situation of arguing about 'constructive termination' before even arguing about for cause, etc.
I also second the advice to keep doing your job to the fullest, attempt to work around any obstacles such as system access removed, etc., and *document everything* (on non-company property and paper).
Do not try to cheap out on this, do some research, get some good recommendations for a real expert focused on that area of law. It'll be worth every penny.

(yes, factory worker, yes, sexual harassment... however...) > Alameda County Superior Court Judge Stephen Kaus ruled Monday that the female worker who filed the complaint can proceed with her case — even though she signed an arbitration agreement giving up her right to sue. I would assume that engineers have similar arbitration agreements. Talking to a lawyer would be the first thing to do, but be prepared that until it moves out of arbitration they may be rather powerless to do anything.
