Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been sparring with regulators over local shelter-in-place orders aimed to combat the spread of the coronavirus as the company's production plants remain closed.
"Our restart plan is the result of months of careful planning and preparation," Tesla's leadership said in a blog post titled "Getting Back to Work."
Tesla says it has started the process to resume operations and released a plan to bring its employees and contractors back to work, amid an escalating dispute with local health authorities in California over a shelter-in-place order that has kept the automaker's Fremont factory idle during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Contrary to the Governor's recent guidance and support from the City of Fremont, Alameda County is insisting we should not resume operations," Tesla's leadership said in the blog post. "This is not for lack of trying or transparency since we have met with and collaborated on our restart plans with the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency."
"We are taking the time we need to get our personnel properly trained before they begin work and all employees must complete an online video training before returning to work at any Tesla facility," the company said.
