WASHINGTON - Tesla Inc will pay a $31,000 penalty and purchase $55,000 in emergency response equipment for a California city under a settlement reached with the Environmental Protection Agency over federal hazardous waste violations at its automotive factory, the government said Monday. The EPA said in a statement that Tesla will take specific steps to properly manage hazardous wastes at its factory after unannounced inspections in 2017 to its Fremont, California factory. The EPA said Tesla had failed to comply with air emissions standards for equipment leaks and management requirements for generators of hazardous wastes.

Tesla said in a statement that since the 2017 inspections “all gaps identified in the inspection have been resolved by Tesla.” Tesla will provide at least $55,000 worth of emergency response equipment for the city of Fremont Fire Department as part of the settlement.

Tesla Model 3 Instantly Tops European Charts, But It's Not All Good NewsThere is good news and bad news for Tesla from Europe. The good news is the new Model 3 burst on to the scene in Western Europe in February, and instantly became the number one selling pure electric car. Unfortunately sales were being won from more expensive Model S sedan and Model X SUV. General rule of thumb: If you don't like something, don't buy it. It's the market for this stuff. The Tesla Model 3 have over 40 percent market share of new EVs sold this month in Norway. But Models S and X are lagging behind Jaguar I-pace and Audi E-Tron. Cheaper cars sell better. That’s some deep economic analysis there.
