STORY: Telsa, which was slapped with a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination, is counter-suing the California agency that leveled the allegations against the electric car-maker at its flagship assembly plant.
The EV manufacturer alleges that the California Civil Rights Department – a state agency charged with enforcing local civil rights laws - flouted requirements that it notify Tesla first and give the firm a chance to settle.
Tesla is seeking an order barring the CRD from following what the car-maker calls unlawful procedures and requiring the agency to adopt new regulations through a formal rule-making process.
A spokesperson for the CRD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tesla had made similar claims in a bid to dismiss the lawsuit, which was denied by a state judge last month.
But the complaint filed this week may allow Tesla’s lawyers to uncover new details about the CRD's practices and investigation through the discovery process, which could bolster its efforts to have the case dismissed.
The CRD claims Tesla's flagship Fremont, California, plant is a racially segregated workplace where Black employees faced racist slurs and graffiti and were discriminated against in terms of job assignments, discipline and pay.
Tesla has denied wrongdoing and said the lawsuit was politically motivated.

California is pissed because Tesla is moving out of their state. I’m no fan of Tesla, but I’m glad to see them playing ball.
Elon Musk is himself an African American. He is the richest African American. This persecution of successful African Americans must stop.
“Tesla has denied wrongdoing and said the lawsuit was politically motivated.”
GUARANTEED!!
This persecution was totally predictable once Elon started leaning right
Musk is also the richest immigrant in US history.
And he made all that money in just over 25 years.
” I’m no fan of Tesla,”
Why not?
Wanna bet that California’s government is not mathematically racially accurate? Hmmmm?
YUP.
Unfortunately for them, Musk has enough money to vigorously fight all the lawsuits they can throw at him.
Its good to be super rich.
It’s noteworthy that when Brandon invited EV manufacturers to the WH, he excluded Musk/Tesla who produce the majority of EVs on the road. Federal EV subsidies require that to qualify, the EVs be produced by union workers.
To this bunch it is much more important that EVs are made by the ‘right kind of people’. Musk and his workers are not the right kind of people.
But Musk/Tesla continues to DOMINATE EV sales in America,
By far.
Don’t just take the office to court, take the Democrat
personally to court. Bankrupt them. Just keep doing it
to them until they get the message.
“” I’m no fan of Tesla,”
Why not?”
Because Tesla, unlike Putin, REFUSES to pay me to post their propaganda. What did you think?
“What did you think?”
I didn’t presume anything. That is why I asked.
