The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), the air pollution regulator in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, has paid a $ 750,000 fine for Tesla to resolve a violation of air pollution standards caused by Tesla Factory. Announced that it has agreed to promote a large-scale solar panel project.



BAAQMD points out that Tesla has committed 33 violations of air pollution standards since 2015: 'We did not install or modify equipment and perform the necessary exhaust tests without proper permission.' At the time of writing the article, Tesla has corrected 33 violations.

Tesla was fined $ 1 million, of which $ 750,000 was paid directly to BAAQMD and the remaining $ 250,000 of solar panels was put into the San Francisco Bay Area community health protection program. It seems that it will be in the form of donating.

The location of the solar panels has not yet been decided, but BAAQMD has issued a statement that 'Tesla has promised to realize a comprehensive environmental management system,' and Tesla will continue to standardize on air pollution. It states that it will continue to comply with. Details such as when Tesla must install solar panels have not been clarified at the time of writing the article.
