Tesla Drops Lawsuit Against Alameda County Over Reopening

Tesla reached an agreement with Alameda County to reopen its Fremont factory after initially defying local orders. CEO Elon Musk was prepared to face arrest to resume operations, which were later approved based on a safety plan similar to Tesla's Shanghai factory. Tesla had filed a lawsuit against the county, claiming it violated the state constitution by not allowing manufacturers to reopen, but the lawsuit was dropped without explanation. The Fremont factory employs about 10,000 workers, contributing to Tesla's 20,000 employees statewide.
