It was a setback for Tesla in the Solna district court.
Postnord does not need to distribute the number plates to the company while waiting for the case to be decided.
They must be allowed to speak first and have three days.
- We will now use the time to analyze and make an assessment of the mood that the district court has now shared, says Postnord’s press manager Anders Porelius.

- We will now use the time to analyze and make an assessment of the mood that the district court now has On Monday, it was jacked up a notch, when the news came that Tesla is suing the Swedish state through the Swedish Transport Agency at the Norrköping district court and Postnord at the Solna district court.
On November 16, Tesla ordered 28 registration plates for new cars from the Swedish Transport Agency - which are now stuck with Postnord, according to the lawsuit that was submitted to the Solna district court on Monday.
On Tuesday, a decision was made in the Solna district court regarding Tesla’s request for a so-called interim decision - i.e. the requirement that Postnord distribute the registration plates while the legal process is ongoing.
It was rejected. Postnord gets to comment first and has three days.
“It has not emerged that it would be the question of such harmful effects and such a lack of time that justifies an immediate decision,” writes the Solna district court in the decision.
- They want to get our views on this matter. We will look into that, says Anders Porelius, Postnord’s press manager.
The blockade behind the mood The background is the trade unions Seko’s and ST’s blockade of Postnord, which means that employees do not handle Tesla’s mail. This, in turn, has led to Tesla not getting the number plates for new cars distributed.
According to the Swedish Transport Agency, the framework agreement for postal package distribution that all government agencies follow prohibits them from using a supplier other than Postnord. Tesla is also not allowed to pick up the signs themselves, according to the agreement with the manufacturer.
Tesla’s letters and packages have thus been left lying around.
In connection with the lawsuit, the electric car giant also requested a court order to collect the license plates from the manufacturer while the legal process is ongoing - and the Norrköping District Court followed Tesla’s line.
The idea is that Tesla owners should be able to pick up the signs directly from the manufacturer, but there are no procedures for how this should be done in practical terms, writes TT.
- Registration plates are not something we want to end up in the wrong hands. We make sure that signs go where they are supposed to, says Anna Berggrund, department director for vehicle information at the Swedish Transport Agency, to the news agency.
Like what? This whole thing has been going on for years. No media attention and public pressure made Tesla budge.
There is only three legal ways that workers can fight their company. Leaving, striking and malicious compliance. If they leave, they dont have the job anyways. If they strike the company needs to decide whether operating in that country is worthwhile under an agreement with the workers or not. If they choose malicious compliance the factory will not be profitable and it will be shut down sooner or later, so people will loose their jobs. Also they will struggle to be hired somewhere else because malicious compliance results in a poor employment record.
If i am missing something please let me know, because the way i see it right now striking is the only legal mean available to the workers that will not result in them loosing their jobs with certainty.
Everyone seems to be ignoring my specific
questionscomment / suggestionWhy not the banking unions?
The banking unions shut down toys r us ability to do financial transactions which crippled them and forced them to sign.
Why did they have to risk these jobs, when there was another avenue that wouldn’t cost jobs that had a proven track record.
