    As far as I know the situation is:

    • Tesla wants/needs license plates
    • government issues license plates and tries to send them via mail to Tesla
    • workers strike and don’t deliver mail to Tesla, which means license plates don’t arrive at Tesla - and only specifically at Tesla
    • government has an exclusive contract, that only allows them to use that one postal service, so they can’t provide an alternative (assuming the workers there wouldn’t strike, too)
    • government doesn’t allow pick up of license plates

    Tesla challenges the very last point - Why can no one (not only Tesla) just go and pick them up? Why is there a need to explicitly mail them?

        No it doesnt, it’s not law. That’s just how they decided to do it, and is why Tesla just won an injunction forcing them to allow pickup

          Yes my bad. The Contractor was contractually obliged to use that company, that’s a difference. You are right
