Recently, Tesla faces escalating challenges in the Nordic market as a court has notified the electric car manufacturer that the blockade of Tesla mail routes by the union will continue until the final verdict is reached. This implies that Tesla cannot receive license plates, and users who have already purchased vehicles cannot take delivery. Previously, due to Tesla's refusal to sign a collective agreement covering basic rights such as wages and working hours, employees from seven Tesla service centers went on strike. In solidarity, Swedish postal workers refused to deliver Tesla's mail.
In the recent ruling, Tesla did not provide compelling evidence before the case closed, explaining "why Tesla suffered damage because the postal service did not distribute these packages." It is worth noting that the day before this ruling, another Swedish court withdrew a favorable decision for Tesla in a lawsuit against the transport authority-the decision that Tesla could obtain license plates directly from the vehicle licensing company.
To make matters worse, in addition to the ongoing strikes in Sweden, the Finnish Transport Union will implement a nationwide ban on Tesla from December 20th at all ports. Furthermore, major institutional investors from the Nordic region are selling Tesla stocks in support of the workers' strike.
Moreover, the conflict has now spread to Denmark. Jens Munch Holst, the CEO of the Danish fund AkademikerPension with total assets of approximately $24 billion, stated that Tesla's position on labor rights means that Tesla has long been placed on their closely monitored investment alternative list.
