Where Tesla is really at a disadvantage is in not being able to go a few months without making cars. No other shut-down car company is complaining like Elon. Maybe it's a problem he has in running the only non-union auto manufacturer? Well, he or Tesla should have enough money to provide for the workers during furlough. Oh, but he's a good corporate citizen, spending his time "cutting waste," so now when something big happens the company doesn't have the resilience to ride it out safely.
Furthermore, while all of the above were his choice, reopening isn't. He's being a rich baby and whining because he's not allowed to do whatever he wants to do. I hope the county/state smacks him down.

What is this well of coronavirus evidence that the state is rejecting or ignoring? People aren't using the word "unprecedented" just because it's hard to type.
>Tesla claims their plan will ensure 6 ft of distance for every employee, and PPE and masks are provided and mandatory. Even the HVAC is changed to optimise for fresh air turnover and filters are changed on a regular basis.
Where is the evidence that this is the (second) safest approach?

Elon is not complaining, he is reopening along with the other automakers. Workers for Ford, GM returned to work on the same day Tesla workers did (May 11) and the US Ford and GM factories will start running May 18.
Only some social media folks are enraged and freaking out about a business opening - they are the ones being petulant.
Of course this is going to be taken to the courts and we'll see how much a Governor's decree can accomplish when it comes to affecting critical industries that are supposed to remain open, of which auto manufacturing has been designated as one.
