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.
Alameda joined five other Northern California counties and the city of Berkeley in keeping stricter orders than the state directive. "The team at Tesla has been responsive to our guidance and recommendations, and we look forward to coming to an agreement on an appropriate safety plan very soon," Balram said.
She said the county is permitted by law to require stricter precautions than the state's because of the pandemic.
