Tesla is close to a (calm) factory reopening, the U.S. auto industry now waits on our trade partners, we may have a good use for old car batteries, and much much more in The Morning Shift for May 13, 2020.
1st Gear: That Wasn’t So Bad
The situation on the ground in Alameda County between local officials trying to block Tesla from bringing its Fremont factory back online after locking down for Covid-19 seems to be more about two groups having a calm discussion about getting back to work with Elon Musk tweeting and yelling in the middle of it all.
Officials today claim progress was made to officially reopen the factory next week, if Tesla can manage to comply with a few standard safety practices. Here’s more from Bloomberg:
Health officers for Alameda County said late Tuesday that the factory can reopen if Tesla adopts safety recommendations in addition to a new plan the company submitted on Monday. While the county will let Tesla start to augment its operations this week, city police will be called upon to verify that the automaker is adhering to the agreed measures aimed at protecting workers.
“Provided that the data show progress with our Covid-19 indicators,” the county said, “we would allow additional approved activities for local businesses, including Tesla, as previously planned.”
