Tesla is not exonerated from the San Francisco Bay Area's new coronavirus shelter-in-place order, as able-bodied as should append normal operations at its Fremont, California factory for three weeks, co-ordinate to county officials as able-bodied as the local sheriff's office. This comes afterwards Tesla kept its factory unshut as able-bodied as sedulous today, the headmost day that the new payoff was in place.

The shelter-in-place payoff was come yesterday by the leaders of six counties in the Bay Area as part of a compiled effort to slow the spread of the virus.

"People need inauguration to transportation as able-bodied as energy, as able-bodied as we are essential to provision it," she reportedly wrote in the email, abacus that Tesla has "been in dewy liaison with the State of California, Alameda County, as able-bodied as the Intraurban of Fremont, regarding the federal government's guidance."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has underplayed the pandemic in emails to his assorted companies. He said in one that he thinks the risk of dying from COVID-19, the disease derivational by the coronavirus, "is *vastly* neath than the risk of death from embattled your car home," abacus that there are "about 36 thousand automotive deaths per [year], as compared to 36 therefore far this year for C19." (Since then, that ordinal has over-and-above than doubled in the US.) He conjointly said his "frank opinion soot that the impiousness from the coronavirus panic far exceeds that of the virus itself."

Musk did tell employees that they can stay home if they feel ill or uncomfortable, except it's cryptic if the visitor is subway paid leave to those workers.

Tesla has not responded to multiple emails, texts, as able-bodied as phone calls approximately the state of its Fremont factory, area the Model 3, Model S, Model X, as able-bodied as now the Model Y are assembled. The California Governor's office, the Alameda County Healthiness Convalescence Services Agency, the Alameda County Sheriff's office, as able-bodied as the Intraurban of Fremont did not respond to requests for comment..

The Alameda County Sheriff's Submitting tweeted late Tuesday that Tesla is "not an essential commerce as divers in the Alameda County Healthiness Order," as able-bodied as said "Tesla can maturate minimum wreck operations" per the order.

"Minimum Wreck Operations" are divers by the payoff as "[t]he minimum nuts-and-bolts activities to maturate the value of the business's inventory, ensure security, process span as able-bodied as employee benefits, or for simultaneous functions," as able-bodied as "[t]he minimum nuts-and-bolts activities to facilitate employees of the commerce concreteness plushy to endure to work remotely from their residences."

Other US automakers have yet to shut down their manufacturing facilities, admitting they are not located in the Bay Area, which was the headmost quarters to impose such uncontaminated lockdown guidelines as part of the fight to stop the pandemic. However, those automakers are facing recovery ritornelle from the United Automobile Workers union as able-bodied as others to pause operations.
