This was inevitable . California leadership has been losing manufacturing for years.

There would be a certain irony if it was moved to Texas, given how much of the state's economy has been driven by oil consumption. But it makes sense to place it in a state with high solar irradiance.

It would really suck working outside in a tent all day in the hot Texas sun...

Tesla is a scam company that recieved billions in state subsidies from the CA government and did not live up to what they promised. Of course, CD celebrates it simply because the Conservatives on this site mindlessly hate California.

Yes, we should all heed the words of one of America's greatest welfare Queens, Elon Musk. This guy is the poster boy for what's went wrong in America.

"Tesla spends $1 million annually on Washington lobbyists. Its cars are financed by over $280 million in federal tax incentives, including a $7,500 federal tax break and millions more in state rebates and development fees. SpaceX has also received over $5 billion in government support."

Enough tears from the Queen..

Elon Musk is not exactly an example of a decent human being. Off the charts IQ, non existant EQ.

I don't hate California, I just wish California people would stay there and support their

elected decisions


This is what CA has become

PASSED Cap-n-Trade Tax will increase gas 0.63 to 0.93 cents a gallon.
PASSED increase on a new tax every residence will pay for tap water!
PASSED a $3.46B parks bond to pay for parks in "disadvantaged communities". The debt service alone will be over $200 million a year.
PASSED a law to release any lifer (murder, rape , child molestation, etc.) who is 60 years old and has already spent 25 years in prison! Examples: Charles Manson would have qualified if he waited a few months before dying; and the Melendez brothers that murdered their parents may be released in about 12 years?
PASSED a $ 50 charge on all residents living in a mobile home parks to address “living condition enforcement” in those parks? This is basically a regressive tax on low income individuals.
PASSED requiring Tesla to unionize with the United Auto Workers Union or forfeit State incentives for the State to buy their electric cars! Solar companies may be next which will increase solar costs.
PASSED a reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor the purposeful intent to transmit the AIDS virus to a unknowing partner.
PASSED giving preferential treatment to prisoners convicted of serious crimes who are less than 25 years old. Based on they are not mature enough to understand right from wrong.
PASSED a bill requiring our true sex be omitted from drivers licenses.
PASSED free legal services for illegal immigrants.Paid for by tax payers.
PASSED establish safe "injection zones" run by government to oversee people injecting heroin! Paid for by tax payers There were no rules passed about street filth and street living based on California's current procedures and openness.You may consider forwarding this so that Californians can be aware of CALIFORNIA'S elected officials.

And remember the kind of condition Gavin Newsome, Nancy Pelosi's nephew, left San Francisco in an absolute mess and now he's set out to perhaps ruin the entire state of California.

I have no clue what your talking about. Tesla is an Enron like fraud that is planning on moving its US factories to China. Even its NV factory is still closed. Tesla has recieved billions of subsidies from blue and red states and has literally failed to live up to any of its promises.

Musk being a con man is simply looking for an escape hatch to blame his faliures on and he found one by attaching himself to the right wing backlash on the coronavirus lockdowns.

Tesla has recieved $10s of billions in subsidies from both state and federal governments, hasnt turned a single profit in its existence, has secret deals with China to open factories with subsidies from the CCP govnt. Forget about red state vs blue state nonsense. Musk is literally a con man engaging in accounting and securities fraud
