California Sheriff Cripples Tesla Factory - Overrules Essential Status Declaration Given By County

Just a day after an Alameda County spokesperson declared in a statement to the Los Angeles Times that Tesla is an “essential business” and thus allowed to remain in operation amid the C-19 outbreak, the county’s Sheriff’s Office has taken an opposing stance. In a recent update on Twitter, the Alameda County Sheriff declared that Tesla is not an essential business at all and that the company will only be allowed to maintain minimum basic operations. 

“Tesla: Tesla is not an essential business as defined in the Alameda County Health Order. Tesla can maintain minimum basic operations per the Alameda County Health Order,” the county sheriff tweeted.

As we already know - Car Sales persons are the LEAST TRUSTED people in the USA (Even prisoners rank higher) - so we can simply ignore the rants of such people. Good thing that no one of value here is a car salesperson

So many more people are going to die from homelessness and poverty after the virus is done than the virus itself.

Russia did not work. Impeachment did not work. This is a liberal media agenda initiative to hurt the economy in hopes Trump would not get re-elected, but it has spiraled out of control.

Tesla goes bankrupt by the end of 2020 if the current situation does not get under control very quickly.

I think they'll weather the storm better than the other US manufacturers, but if this gets extended then all of us will be sitting in the same level of crap together. Tesla has an advantage with their agility in responding to change.

I supposed the silver lining is that pollution is going to be way down thanks to the shelter rules.
