AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/12 Report--

When the application for resuming work at the factory was refused, Tesla took Alameda County, California, to court, asking the court to rule that the county's shutdown order was invalid. On May 11, Tesla CEO Musk said, "Tesla's California factory will resume work from the same day." If anyone is arrested for this, I demand that only me be arrested. "

It is understood that the governor of California allowed manufacturing enterprises in the state to resume work and production last week, while Tesla disagreed with Alameda County, where the factory is located, which rejected Tesla's application to restart the plant.

Tesla's entire car and most of its parts are produced at the Fremont plant in California, including Model 3, Model S and Model X models. Tesla delivered a total of 367000 electric vehicles worldwide in 2019, while the company plans to deliver more than 500000 electric vehicles in 2020, and the Fremont plant will bear most of the capacity.

Tesla CEO Musk was furious because Alameda County in California rejected Tesla's plan to restart the factory. On Twitter on May 8, Musk announced that he would take Alameda County to court, asking the court to rule that the county's shutdown order was invalid and threatened to move the factory out of the area.

Tesla said that the governor of California has allowed manufacturing factories in California to resume work, but Alameda County insists that we should not resume production. It is not that we have not tried, nor is it because of a lack of transparency. We have met with Alameda County Health authorities about the resumption plan. "other US car factories have also resumed work, and only Tesla has been targeted," Musk said. That's too bad. "

At present, Tesla has announced the restart of Fremont plant operations and worked out a detailed resumption plan. These include the formation of a response team, which includes a doctor; the development of health and safety guidelines and, in some cases, the establishment of partitions and barriers to minimize the intersection of employees; and the adjustment of shifts to reduce the number of people in the factory; improve cleaning and disinfection in the work area, take temperature tests at the factory entrance, and so on.

Tesla's rework plan stipulates that employees with related symptoms will be sent home for quarantine.

Of course, Tesla and Musk's decision to return to work is controversial online. Some netizens believe that the forced return to work under the spread of the epidemic increases the risk of infection among employees. The latest data show that the cumulative number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States has exceeded 1.38 million, and the number of deaths has reached 81000, making it the country with the largest number of deaths reported in the world.
