Pick up the plates from whom?

They don't just teleport into a stack in the parking lot of the post office on their own. A pickup would involve employees. Who are members of the union.

The department is still making the plates, it is only the postal employees that are refusing to deliver them.
The manufacturer. Scandinavian Motor Center.
Whatever the equivalent of the DMV in Sweden is?
I'd presume those plates get from the license plate factory to the DMV offices somehow. I'd presume that method isn't carrier pigeon.
Tesla said they would want to pick it up at the factory. The factory is putting them in nice packages to be delivered.
The factory says they can't do this.

> According to the Transport Agency, current regulations mean it is only able to distribute number plates using Postnord.

The district court just ordered the Transport Agency to hand over the plates to Tesla within a week, Postnord be damned.

As a temporary injunction, yes.
I think the purpose of this lawsuit is to get that regulation changed.
Then the factory workers might refuse to hand out plates to Tesla as they're also part of a union.
