Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish state via Sweden’s Transport Agency after striking postal workers in the Scandinavian country stopped delivering license plates for new vehicles manufactured by the Texas-based automaker
The fact that the license plates are withheld "cannot be described in any other way than as a unique attack on a company operating in Sweden.”
The fact that Tesla refused to sign a collective agreement cannot be described in any other way than as a unique attack on swedish worker rights.
Get fucked.
LOL there really are some situations in which it doesn’t matter how rich you are, and this is one of them. Sweden will make Musk bow down to reason, or else he’ll close operations entirely in the country.
Aaaaah … Doing it the American way… Fantastic! I need to pop some more popcorn.
I’m confident that Tesla will get their license plates eventually. Eventually.
More and more business in Sweden are refusing to work with Tesla. Suing will surely solve this problem. Big brain move there.
When you’re Musk, you’ve never once had to negotiate a single thing in your life. You want something so you throw money at in and sycophants will take care of the rest. This isn’t a question of him not thinking ahead, this is a question of him never having seen real consequences before and not knowing how to act in response.
Apparently he won that lawsuit according to Swedish news. It was a really fast turnaround on it.
The strike is from postal services not delivering license plates so Tesla sued for the right to send a dude to collect them personally from the transport agency.
I guess a local stooge from Tesla HQ has to put the plates into his trunk and hand deliver them to each Tesla.
Teala did not win, yet anyway. Tingsrätten (the lowest judicial instance) ordered Transportstyrelsen to give out the plates until the matter is resolved in court.
so they’re officially “Texas-based” now eh? Heh. Sure, why not.
Musk moved his headquarters to Texas during the start of the pandemic to avoid complying with pandemic restrictions.
Much to the chagrin of most everyone here, yes.
There is nothing that makes Texans harder than anything Californian coming to Texas. It validates the one way rivalry Texas has with California.
