Absolutely correct - some slack is appropriate. As far as the experience level of those they hired - is that really the case? Even in the region, given the history of auto manufacturing in the region, I would expect a number of experience people willing to come back. And, of course, you hire

You are correct about what they have accomplished. But you need to acknowledge the good with the bad - it’s not a binary good/bad choice. Musk needs to get credit for what he has accomplishment, but also get called out where he deserves it. Skirting environmental, health, safety regs are among

In fairness to Tesla, the rest of the automakers have DECADES of experience manufacturing cars (at least one of them has been in business for over a century) Tesla has only been actually manufacturing cars for 8 years, you have to expect a few issues when starting from scratch, especially

I think the Nevada site may have needed less protection from environmental effects of ths factory. That is a good idea. Build where the impact is lower. CA says it is too impactful, Nevada says this is not too impactful. Learn more and then respond. Can we afford it? Then let's do it. Why does

Musk did not want to comply with state environmental planning and disclosure requirements, and tried to get our legislature to exempt him. When that didn’t work, he build his battery factory in Nevada, where they have lax requirements. Pattern and practice, though ironic. - Mark Sent from my

Profit is a straw man. Just look at Netflix. Musk's goal is making as many EVs as possible, he would go broke doing it, sell his house and start over if it came to that. Not normal, but a recipe for success. It is a shame he ever went public, but maybe it made sense at the time. SpaceX- it was
