Tesla has taken the unprecedented step of filing a lawsuit against the Swedish government, claiming that the country's postal workers prevented the company from obtaining its license. Tesla claims the postal workers' actions are part of a larger effort to support a strike by Tesla metal workers in Sweden.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Norrköping District Court, claims the Swedish government has a "constitutional obligation to provide vehicle owners with license plates." Tesla is asking the court to order the Swedish government to allow the company to collect the license plates directly from the transportation department instead of waiting for them to be delivered by mail.
The Swedish Transport Agency defended its actions, saying it was simply following the law. However, Tesla argued that the agency's actions against the company were arbitrary and unfair.
The lawsuit is the latest development in a long-running dispute between Tesla and the Swedish government. Tesla has criticized the Swedish government's labor laws, saying they make it difficult for the company to hire and fire workers.
The lawsuit could also further strain Tesla's relationship with the Swedish government. Tesla has threatened to leave Sweden if the government does not change labor laws.
Impact of litigation
The lawsuit could have many ramifications for Tesla and the Swedish government. If Tesla wins the lawsuit, it could set a precedent for other companies facing disputes with the Swedish government. The lawsuit could also lead to changes in Swedish labor laws.
