Tesla Inc. is preparing to reduce staffing by about 75% at its lone U.S. assembly plant after initially resisting an order from the local sheriff, according to a county spokesman.
“We had a positive conversation, and it sounds like they are beginning to comply with the health order,” said Ray Kelly, the spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. “In war times, all automakers are considered vital national infrastructure, but this is a different era. This is a health pandemic.”
