Pretty sure that's the point. If Amazon can have warehouse workers delivering non-essential goods without restrictions, why can't Tesla be manufacturing without restrictions?

Pretty sure that's what Elon is arguing. What makes Tesla special in that it's the only car manufacturer being restricted?

They aren’t special — just like the other car manufacturers, Tesla management was working with county health officials to make sure it had the necessary procedures and practices in place to reopen safely. Elon just got impatient.
