Record request #22-5972 has been closed and published. The closure reason supplied was:

Dear Requester:

 

We have reviewed your request for:

 

"All communications with Tesla Inc, or its representatives, regarding the purchase or operation of Tesla vehicle(s) for official or departmental use. Where appropriate, to include testing, trouble-shooting, data use and retention, AutoPilot use, servicing, and returns."

 

Your request was made under the California Public Records Act (the Act). The Department is cognizant of its responsibilities under the Act. It recognizes the statutory scheme was enacted to maximize citizen access to the workings of government. The Act does not mandate disclosure of all documents within the government’s possession. Rather, by specific exemption and reference to other statutes, the Act recognizes that there are boundaries where the public’s right to access must be balanced against such weighty considerations as the right of privacy, a right of constitutional dimension under California Constitution, Article 1, Section 1. The law also exempts from disclosure records that are privileged or confidential or otherwise exempt under either express provisions of the Act or pursuant to applicable federal or state law, per California Government Code Sections 6254(b); 6254(c); 6254(f); 6254(k); and 6255.

 

A search was conducted, and the responsive documents have been provided to you. Please be advised that in accordance with Section 6254(c), confidential portions have been withheld from the documents provided.

 

If you have any questions, please respond to this email.

 

Respectfully,

 

LAPD Public Records &amp; Subpoena Response Section, CPRA Unit
