I was wondering when the other shoe was going to drop. Between china's buying up lithium mining interests worldwide, and the treachery of the US CoC (chinese outsourcing committee), I can see that Musk's battery venture already has the deck stacked against it. But then again, who's to say that he hasn't came up with a new battery technology.

There’s a lithium mine in Nevada not far from the factory that’s going up there. Also, not far from burning man.
