At this particular point it is not a hard shutdown robin and marty you can clearly see that people are still coming into the tesla location, the cars are it looks just as much busy today as it did yesterday despite Alameda County officials telling tesla they cannot resume full operations until next week and thats provided that they do all the safety precautions and that the Health Measures stabilizer dont get any worse than what they particularly are at this time. Now i can tell you that they did reach a tentative agreement that minimum operations can continue that the Alameda County Sheriffs Department they say theyre monitoring the situation. But at this particular time, no arrests are pending meaning if they dont listen to it if they will go inside and make arrests at this particular time. Now i also can tell you that right particularly now Alameda County is going to monitor the situation they have said that they can do payroll and minimal operations but you can clearly see Marty Robbins just south full that parking lot is reporters all yesterday try to reach out to tesla law last night because this deal was reached late in the night if it means that they will shut down if they will scale back operations but they did not tesla did not respond to the medias inquiry, but you can clearly see and judge for yourself whether or not tesla has scaled back its operations. It appears just as busy as it has been over the past several days when actually on monday ceo. Jeff tesla elam us he tweeted out that he will defy the shelterinplace orders and tell his workers to actually go back. So the Assembly Line with him joining them on the Assembly Line daring basically say that if you must make an arrest do not arrest my employees, but arrest me were going to see what happens at this particular time. But the bottom line is it is not a hard shut down and you can clearly see that because Alameda County. Both sides. They claim theyve reached the deal but clearly its still in operation back to you.
