Tesla sued supplier Angstrom Automotive Group to obtain emergency access to its proprietary manufacturing tooling.
The supplier is closing its plant and currently refuses to let Tesla remove the equipment.
This dispute jeopardizes the completion of several thousand Cybertrucks already ordered by customers.
Angstrom allegedly barred Tesla representatives from the facility on July 21 following demands for extra payments.
Tesla's court filing emphasizes the urgent need to recover property and prevent significant manufacturing disruptions.
