Tesla on May 9 filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction and declaratory relief against Alameda County’s shelter-in-place order, in a move hoped to allow the automaker to resume operations at its factory in Fremont, California.
CEO Elon Musk announced his company’s intentions to “immediately” file the lawsuit in a series of tweets on May 9, adding that Tesla would relocate its headquarters and future programs out-of-state and appeared to reference the interim health officer of Alameda County, Dr. Erica Pan.
