NEW: Tesla files federal lawsuit against Alameda County in California, challenging its precautionary shutdown of the company's main factory due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Tesla, the electric vehicle maker controlled by billionaire Elon Musk, filed a federal lawsuit Saturday against Alameda County in California challenging its precautionary shutdown of the company's main factory.
The suit seeks to overturn the county's May 4 health orders, which go further than Gov. Gavin Newsom's phased statewide reopening by continuing to keep businesses like Tesla's plant in Fremont, California, closed for social distancing reasons.
Alameda joined five other Northern California counties and the city of Berkeley in keeping stricter orders than the state directive. Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.Alameda County appeared to respond to that tweet Saturday with a statement attributed to public information manager Neetu Balram, who said officials have been negotiating with Tesla.
