Elon Musk wins battle for production to restart in Alameda County, California, despite Coronavirus shutdown

Elon Musk wins battle for production to restart in Alameda County, California, despite Coronavirus shutdown 

 

Two days ago Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk asked for the police to arrest him.

 

Why? Because his announcement said Tesla was restoring production against Alameda County coronavirus rules in California. “If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me,” he wrote

 

In a blog on its website, Tesla said May 9 that “Our restart plan is the result of months of careful planning and preparation. It was modeled after the comprehensive return to work plan we established at our Shanghai Gigafactory, which has seen smooth and healthy operations for the last three months.”

 

In another May 11 tweet, Musk said “all other auto companies in the US are approved to resume. Only Tesla has been singled out. This is super messed up!” 

Just today (May 13), Alameda agreed to allow Tesla to open – if certain conditions were met, according to the San Francisco Chronicle

 

Alameda’s County Public Health Department announced on Twitter Wednesday that Tesla’s Fremont, California plant “will be able to go beyond basic operations this week and start making vehicles this coming Monday” (May 18), as long as Tesla “delivers on the worker safety precautions that it agreed to,” according to Fox News. 

 

Police will be monitoring to see that Tesla holds up their part of the agreement. For the factory to stay open, public health factors must improve or remain stable at worst. 

 

On Monday, the day Musk tweeted about reopening, Alameda Health Department warned Tesla the company was reopening in violation of the health order and said it hopes Tesla complies “without further enforcement measures.”

 

California State law allows for fines of up to $1,000 a day or up to 90 days in jail for operation in violation of health orders. We will have to wait to see if Musk or Tesla face such consequences. 

 

Musk has since threatened to move the Tesla headquarters from California, and he’s already filed a lawsuit against Alameda County

 

In the lawsuit, Tesla alleges the shutdown ignores an earlier order from California Gov. Gavin Newsom that permits businesses in ’16 crucial infrastructure industries,’ including transportation, to continue work. It alleges the decision is both unconstitutional and “inexplicable” and says there is “no rational basis” for the facility’s closure,” according to Business Insider

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
