Tesla takes sign dispute to new court

Tesla got the nob all the way to the Supreme Court. But the electric car giant is not giving up. Now the company wants the administrative court in Karlstad to compel the Swedish Transport Agency to somehow hand over the license plates to Tesla, writes the newspaper Dagens Arbete.

The background is that the unions put up a blockade against the postal companies that send out the signs to the American electric car company.
