Tesla submitted a claim versus the Swedish Transport Agency on Monday after postal employees started to obstruct shipments of license plates for the business’s cars and trucks.
Swedish postal employees obstructed Tesla license plate shipments as a program of uniformity with striking employees. Swedish unions have actually pushed Tesla with strikes and blockades over the business’s rejection up until now to sign a cumulative bargaining arrangement with workers in its service department, consisting of service technicians and mechanics who fix and preserve consumers’ cars and trucks.
Tesla declares the Swedish federal government has a “constitutional obligation to provide registration plates to vehicle owners,” according to the files. The match was submitted with the Norrk öping district courtMonday It likewise took legal action against the postal service, according to Bloomberg.
The suit filing stated Tesla provided 9,167 cars and trucks to Sweden in 2022 which the Model Y is the very popular vehicle in the nation up until now in2023 Tesla provided 435,059 cars and trucks in Q3, according to its automobile production and shipment report onOct 2.
A Tesla representative wasn’t right away offered for remark.
“This seizure of license plates constitutes a discriminatory attack without any support in law directed at Tesla. This measure cannot be described in any other way than as a unique attack on a company operating in Sweden,” Tesla stated in the filing, which CNBC equated to English.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated Thursday, “This is insane,” in a post on X, the website he owns previously called Twitter, in referral to a story about the obstructed plates.
