It depends on what they are making. If they are still manufacturing cars, yeah, thats bullshit. If they are keeping a light staff to manufacture replacement parts so that their current fleet can be prepared, that's more understandable.
I think they meant 'so the current fleet can be repaired'. Which has some degree of criticality; although, my understanding is Tesla repair was already a lengthy waiting process; if you had a critical need for transportation, it would be wise to have a vehicle with a more ready supply of parts than a Tesla.
If this wasn't an automobile that was a high priced toy, this would be pretty obvious. Should we stop producing truck parts? The fleet of 18-wheelers across the US is the only thing sustaining us.

About the most bullshit "essential business" call I've seen.

IF they are making life saving medical supplies, then it's valid. Preparing for future sales is not an "essential business".

Car repairs can end up being pretty essential. Any doctor with a Tesla might need to get to work.
If we're splitting hair like that then practically any company is "pretty essential."
Having some semblance of transportation is essential for alot of people in a way things like entertainment events or bar life is not.
I wasn't aware of a car shortage in the US.
