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.

[ceejayoz]

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.

[belltaco]

Judges don't give out injunctions forcing the govt to do something outside the status quo easily unless there's a strong case.

[Thorrez]

I think the purpose of this lawsuit is to get that regulation changed.

[Hikikomori]

Then the factory workers might refuse to hand out plates to Tesla as they're also part of a union.

[Jensson]

But they aren't. Also unions can't push these sympathy strikes too far, by doing targeted denial of government services they are really making it easy for the current right wing government in Sweden to add regulations to prevent unions from denying government services via sympathy strikes in the future. There are already such laws for healthcare etc.
