Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla will move out of California immediately and move its headquarters and future programs to Texas or Nevada amid a lockdown dispute
) sued local authorities in California on Saturday as the electric carmaker pushed to re-open its factory there and Chief Executive Elon Musk threatened to move Tesla’s headquarters and future programs from the state to Texas or Nevada.
The company said it had worked out a thorough return-to-work plan that includes online video training for personnel, work zone partition areas, temperature screening, requirements to wear protective equipment and rigorous cleaning and disinfecting protocols. Tesla filed a lawsuit against the county in San Francisco federal court on Saturday, calling the continued restrictions a “power-grab” by the county since California’s governor had said on Thursday that manufacturers in the state would be allowed to reopen.
Alameda County is scheduled to remain shut until the end of May, with only essential businesses allowed to reopen. The county said it does not consider Tesla an essential business. County officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.“If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future,” he tweeted, referring to the San Francisco Bay area facility that is Tesla’s only U.S. vehicle factory.
