Tesla Faces 'Insane' Strikes in Sweden, Disrupting New Car Deliveries

Elon Musk responds as multiple unions join in solidarity with IF Metall, causing significant disruptions including a halt in the delivery of new license plates.

  • Elon Musk has called the ongoing strikes against Tesla in Sweden 'insane.'
  • The strikes began in late October when the trade union IF Metall, representing Tesla mechanics, walked out demanding a collective agreement on wages and benefits.
  • Eight other unions, including the union representing postal service workers, have since joined the strike in solidarity, causing a halt in the delivery of new license plates for Tesla cars.
  • In response to the strikes, dockworkers have refused to unload Tesla cars from ships and electricians have ceased repair work at Tesla's charging stations.
  • Despite the strikes, Tesla has found other ways to deliver new cars to Sweden, notably by road.
