“In that time frame Musk was going to build a battery plant in NV, and that went bye-bye...”
Well you’re wrong. I can assure you that Tesla’s battery plant is in Northern Nevada and is running full out on production.

Oh and it is EMORMOUS both in size and number of employees.
Thank you for the correction, I totally missed it. However, was this plant scheduled to use the Lithium in NV because as I understand it, the large source is not yet tapped for EV Battery raw material.
