I'll keep eating downvotes, but this postal strike is different.
This isn't toys r us again.
A government agency signed a contract that prevents delivery of license plates other than this one service and provides no other way to get them.
It literally prevents any and all auto manufacturers from selling cars without a collective agreement. This isn't making Teslas life hard which is the unions right, it's preventing a company from being able to sell items which is on a whole other level.
Tesla has won a temporary reprieve and is allowed to pick up the plates now while the lawsuit continues.
Please see past any hate of musk for how this one very specific action (the government contract) is a step too far that needs to be addressed
What happened with Toys r Us? I read through the article and other I didn't see it or missed it.
Similar thing happening to Tesla now. Escalating sympathy strikes.
Eventually, they caved, and then later left the country.
But at no point in time were they outright prevented from selling their goods. It was just incredibly difficult and not cost effective to continue.
