Tesla Wants to Put 'Gigafactory' Battery Plant in Nevada

They could stick it out in Fernley. Plenty of room, and if it burns down, the toxic gases won’t affect a large population center.

[Da Coyote]

If Tesla does anything to help the sordid, slimy Whorehouse Harry, I’ll forget about anything the company produces.

No Nevada.

Not now.

Not until the slimeball is six feet under and his family has been publicly executed and his felonious monies have been distributed to the people.

[jazusamo]

Go ahead, tell us how you feel. Oh, ditto.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Put it right outside Searchlight. If it burns down spewing toxic gases into the air, it will at least do some good.

[minnesota_bound]

How is the plant going to be powered?..... : )
Coal, nuclear?

[Iron Munro]

How many hundreds of millions in handouts will it cost taxpayers this time?

[Grampa Dave]

Yesterday, on the local tv stations, the evening news said that Nevada won the prize.

One of the main reasons why Californicator land didn’t get the plant was Californicator’s overly strict enviro laws and regulations.

The irony in that reality is really great!:)

Where did Obama’s Battery Plant go ?

[Night Hides Not]

Put it right outside Searchlight. If it burns down spewing toxic gases into the air, it will at least do some good.

Sorry, but Harry's moved out of Searchlight.

[morphing libertarian]

in that case build in DC

[Night Hides Not]

in that case build in DC

Next to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

[TaMoDee]

They will use Perpetual Motion. They build batteries that will power the machines that will build batteries that will power the machines ++++++++++++++++ :)

[morphing libertarian]

between there and the capitol

[jazusamo]

Agreed...The enviro-nazis and their laws in CA would make it near impossible for a plant like this.

[Obadiah]

...the company is still in its infancy, produces only one model, is struggling to deploy its specialized and costly “Supercharger” network, has apparently abandoned its battery “quick-swapping” scheme , and is only a year away from its emancipation from its $465 million stimulus loan – which at least one analyst said it had to repay because of failures to reach earnings and loan ratio milestones.

I am constantly thunderstruck at how many people are irrationally enthralled by Elon Musk and Tesla. They have received half a billion in taxpayer money and still have almost nothing to show for it. Never before has so little been built around so much hype.

Tesla, the company, is absolutely adored by Progressives. And, I have read where Tesla is very, very heavy-handed towards any publication that dares speak an ill word of Tesla or Musk.

[WayneS]

I agree 100%. Well said.

[jazusamo]

I doubt there’s much happen in NV that Dingy doesn’t get a cut of.

[jazusamo]

Yep, he knows how to hype to his advantage. Though the Model S is a decent car from what I’ve read it’s a wealthy mans car and as yet Tesla is not profitable.
