• Supplier Angstrom Automotive in Troy, Texas, announced the closure of its plant on July 13.
• 700 parts scheduled to ship on July 17 did not leave the factory.
• On July 21, Tesla representatives arrived at the site with police, but were denied entry.
• Tesla says the company is demanding an additional $250,000 per week to continue operations.
