No mention of the expansion. This was actually first reported at the end of April and occurring in June: https://www.kolotv.com/2024/04/29/tesla-lay-off-nearly-700-sparks-location/

The problem is the rats subverting the natural market forces with tax money on one side and relentless ever increasing Government regulations meant to end ICE vehicles on the other side.

Forty-five minutes to an hour from town on good weather days, low pay, no nearby housing, etc. As the picture shows, it is in the desert mountains. I wonder if they will hire Americans this time or once again skip them in favor of cheap foreign labor like they did in the past?

Why can’t the government mandate that all federal employees buy EVs?

Hey, maybe they can store the hazardous waste in Yucca Mountain in place of the nuclear waste that some folks want moved?

More like slow down in subsidies. Never has been a real market.

“very few will be buying a replacement EV”


The UCD study ... Those who owned EVs from Tesla and GM were most likely to stay with electrics, while those most likely to give them up were driving models from Fiat (which has since discontinued the Fiat 500e in the U.S., and never made it available in Canada), Toyota, and Ford.

Lucid sold 6000 cars last year. Less than 1 car for every employee. They are Saudi backed so their pride will win out over common sense and they will continue to lose millions for infinity.

I agree that EVs are not the answer but they will be violently forced upon us and none will resist.

23 minutes if you live at the nearest end of Sparks, which is not a nice part of town. How about if you live up north? The only nice parts of the area are northern Sparks, northwest Reno, Southwest Reno, and South Reno. All of those places are 45 minutes or more each way, in nice weather. One whole shift go stuck on the road for something like eight hours earlier this spring in a snow storm.

Maybe Tesla and the others building out there could build a lightrail, electric of course, between their work places and Reno and Sparks?

Workers earning the lowest wages will see their hourly pay increase to $22 from $20 an hour, while top earners will see their pay increase to $34.50 from $30.65. The electric vehicle maker will also “streamline” its wage levels; workers currently making between $26.20 and $30.65 per hour will see their pay adjusted to $34.50 an hour, according to CNBC.
