Tesla cannot pause a California civil rights agency's lawsuit alleging widespread race discrimination at an assembly plant while the electric carmaker separately challenges the agency's ability to sue employers, a judge ruled on Wednesday.

“We cannot typically order an agency to exercise its discretion in a particular way,” the judge said. “That’s kind of a big no-no.” DFEH in the lawsuit claims Tesla's flagship Fremont, California, plant was racially segregated and Black workers were harassed and discriminated against in terms of job assignments, discipline and pay.The company on Tuesday filed a complaint with California's Office of Administrative Law claiming DFEH routinely flouts requirements it must meet under state law before suing employers for discrimination.
