In a move that should surprise no one, The Verge is reporting that Tesla started manufacturing cars once again at its factory in Fremont, California.
“The company called back some of its workers and has completed around 200 cars Model Y and Model 3 vehicles, according to two current employees,” the report reads.
The legality of Tesla’s decision here remains up in the air and comes in the wake of a lawsuit the company filed against Alameda County for refusing to let it reopen its Fremont factory. Tesla’s lawsuit was filed shortly after California started loosening up restrictions regarding which type of businesses can resume operations. Note that Tesla’s Fremont factory has been closed since mid-March and Elon Musk isn’t happy about it. Hardly a surprise, Musk has long maintained that efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic have been too heavy-handed. In an internal memo sent out to Tesla employees a few weeks ago, Musk opined that “the harm from the coronavirus panic far exceeds that of the virus itself.”
