Tesla allowed to restart 'full production' in California after contentious battle with county officials, company execs tell employees
Officials in Alameda County, where the Fremont plant is based, said on May 13 that production at Tesla's Fremont location could potentially resume this week — an exception to the county's rules during the pandemic for "Minimum Business Operations," which mandate that businesses scale down operations to protect employees.
"We have agreed that Tesla can begin to augment their Minimum Business Operations this week in preparation for possible reopening as soon as next week,". "Next Monday, May 18th, marks two weeks following the May 4th Order loosening restrictions," the statement said. "Provided that the data show progress with our COVID-19 indicators, during this two week period, we would allow additional approved activities for local businesses, including Tesla, as previously planned.
Representatives for Tesla and the Alameda County Public Health Department did not respond to request for comment as of publishing.Do you have a personal experience with the coronavirus you'd like to share?
