The Swedish Transport Agency is appealing the district court's decision to let Tesla pick up license plates from the manufacturer.

The authority believes that "the security aspects have not been sufficiently highlighted".

A week ago, Tesla sued the Swedish Transport Agency and Postnord, after the electric car manufacturer had not received license plates for new cars distributed. Later that day, the Norrköping district court made an interim decision:

Tesla would be allowed to pick up its license plates from the manufacturer.

The decision is now being appealed by the Swedish Transport Agency.

• We believe that the security aspects of a disclosure have not been sufficiently clarified and therefore want to be tested whether the district court's examination has been correct. The decision is also unclear because it does not say anything about how the district court actually intended how Tesla should collect its license plates, says Anna Berggrund, department director at the Swedish Transport Agency.
