Tesla plans to reopen its sole US automotive plant in Fremont, California as quickly as Friday, Bloomberg reported the identical day, citing an e mail from the corporate to its workers.
The transfer comes a day after California allowed producers within the state to reopen operations, shut as a result of coronavirus-led lockdowns, which drew an enthusiastic “Yeah!!” on Twitter from Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk.
Musk, who not too long ago turned a father, has been criticizing the lockdown and stay-at-home orders calling them a “serious risk” to US enterprise, even tagging them “unconstitutional” and saying they’d not maintain up earlier than the US Supreme Court if challenged.
Musk stated Tesla goals to restart its Fremont manufacturing facility on Friday afternoon, in keeping with the Bloomberg report.
Even although the lockdown in Alameda, the county in San Francisco Bay Area the place Tesla’s manufacturing facility is positioned, is scheduled to final till the tip of May. So in keeping with a county order, the Fremont manufacturing facility just isn’t allowed to function usually.
California’s order from Thursday doesn’t supersede the county plan, Alameda Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ray Kelly instructed Reuters on Thursday.
The Fremont plant shut its operations in mid-March after lockdowns have been imposed to curb the unfold of COVID-19, which has contaminated over 3.eight million individuals globally.
Tesla didn’t instantly reply to Reuters’ request for remark.
