Elon Musk tweeted his delight at the news that California is opening up some parts of the state — but county level authorities have the final say

What Musk didn’t mention in his memo is that Newsom also said earlier that counties could remain more restrictive than the state. Alameda County, where Tesla’s plant is located, said it is leaving in place its health order that contributed to the company idling its plant on March 23.
On Twitter, Newson’s announcement elicited a cheer from Musk, who has sharply criticised shutdown orders. But Alameda County, which is home to Tesla’s plant in Fremont, said in a statement on Thursday that its current health order, which extends to the end of May, takes precedence. “For example, the Bay Area, Northern California, they have guidelines where they are a little more strict than these guidelines,” he said. “If they choose not to come into compliance with the state guidelines, they have that right.”
