After threatening to move to Texas, Alameda County reviewed the Tesla plant safety plans and production may start next week
Authorities in California say Tesla’s only assembly plant in the US could open as early as next week, albeit with enhanced safety measures because of the Covid-19 pandemic, after a very public anti-lockdown tirade by Elon Musk with support from US President Donald Trump.
“If Tesla’s prevention and control plan includes these updates, and the public-health indicators remain stable or improve, we have agreed that Tesla can begin to augment their minimum business operations this week in preparation for possible reopening as soon as next week,” the county health agency said.
Musk’s move comes amid rising disputes over the pace of easing the lockdowns imposed by states to contain the deadly coronavirus outbreak.
