Better news: A gentleman who works at the Cuautitlan plant just posted on the Mach E Nation Facebook group that the Cuautitlan plant opens Monday, with reduced workforce. He works in the plant, so this is first hand, not speculation:

Not even sure exactly what workers at the plant do at this point, since production of the final product doesn't even start for a few more months. Maybe just getting everything ready and working out the kinks, and possibly producing more pre-production models for testing?

I’m sure they must be configuring and fine tuning the robotics at the plant.

Good news, in Jim Hackett's interview today (https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live-leadership-during-crisis-May-1/), he dropped the date of May 18 as a target they would like to hit (no commitment yet) for starting to reopen US factories. He also spoke about getting permission from Michigan to start pre-positioning materials that are out on the loading docks to prepare for reopening.
