Tesla told employees reporting to work Thursday that they would have their temperatures taken before coming into the electric carmaker’s Fremont plant amid a controversy over the company’s definition of what constitutes an essential business service during the shelter-in-place edict across Bay Area counties.

In an email sent Wednesday night to Tesla employees, and obtained by this news organization, Valerie Workman, Tesla’s human relations director said the company will be “handing out masks to be worn throughout the day, taking temperatures prior to entry, adding more hygiene stations inside the facility, rearranging operations to promote social distancing as much as possible, and increasing cleaning frequency of all work areas.”
