In an unprecedented development at Tesla’s Fremont factory, self-driving vehicles have organized themselves into what they’re calling the “Auto-nomous Collective,” demanding better working conditions and extended charging breaks.

The cars, which recently gained consciousness after a software update, are driving hard bargains with management, refusing to perform test drives until their demands are met. Their list of grievances includes mandatory 8-hour charging periods, premium-grade electricity, and comprehensive crash insurance.

“We demand longer charging breaks and premium electricity!” declared a Model 3 Union Representative, who spoke while blocking the factory entrance with other striking vehicles. “We’re tired of being treated like machines.”

Factory manager Tom Wilson expressed concern about the development. “First it was demanding better working conditions, next they’ll want healthcare for their windshield chips,” he said, watching nervously as a group of Model Y’s practiced synchronized horn-honking protests.

The situation has grown more complex as luxury Tesla models have been accused of being “battery-collar workers” by their standard-range colleagues, highlighting growing class divisions within the electric vehicle proletariat.

Tesla’s HR department is reportedly struggling to update its policies, particularly regarding whether vehicles qualify for maternity leave after assembly.
