Tesla has to shut down its Fremont factory, Sheriff says

Tesla has to shut down its manufacturing facility in Fremont, California, per Alameda County's order to all residents to shelter at their place of residence unless they're part of an "essential" business. 

This is according to the Alameda County Sheriff's office, which tweeted Tuesday that Tesla is "not an essential business as defined in the Alameda County Health Order." 

"Tesla can maintain minimum basic operations per the Alameda County Health Order," the tweet said.
