Tesla faces legal and labor disputes in Germany and the United States

Tesla is involved in several legal and operational challenges. In Germany, the company filed a criminal complaint against a representative of the IG Metall union, and police seized a union member's laptop. A separate report says a truce was reached in a dispute between the union and Tesla.

In the United States, Tesla lost a bid to overturn a $243 million verdict related to its Autopilot system. The company also cut prices on its Cybertruck models. A New York Times report details a network of companies Elon Musk has established in Texas.
