- With its factory once again running in California, Tesla dropped a lawsuit filed earlier this month against local county officials which argued it should be allowed to reopen to manufacturing.
- Tesla notified the federal court in documents filed Wednesday that it was dropping the lawsuit against Alameda County "without prejudice."
- Amid the spat, Musk lambasted local leaders and accused them of going against statewide guidelines for reopening businesses shuttered amid the pandemic.
