So, Tesla wants to split California. How about that? Elon Musk is all tuchus hurt because of the constraints and massive money making losses for manufacturing electric and auto pilot automobiles. He says his corporation is taking a serious nose dive. Too bad. So are a lot of other companies.  I was never all that crazy about those self propelled cars crashing senselessly and killing hundreds anyway. Not impressed. What a nutty plan that has been so far. Brilliant. Well Elon, we'll miss you. Not very much though. I certainly won't. Adios. Let's see now. How much bashing with this article take? :bored-1:

 

 

Musk announces Tesla HQ is leaving California, threatens moving assembly out too

Bengt Halvorson May 10, 2020 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced via Twitter on Saturday that the company will move both its headquarters and future programs to Texas or Nevada immediately. 

Thursday night Tesla had moved to recall about 30% of its workers at its Fremont, California, assembly plant. Alameda County, where its Fremont assembly plant is located, moved to block that, saying that Tesla would be out of compliance with its stay-at-home order.

 

That sparked a series of statements on the matter from Musk, as well as legal action from the company—a likely indication the Tesla board is standing behind Musk on this one.  

I’m not messing around. Absurd & medically irrational behavior in violation of constitutional civil liberties, moreover by *unelected* county officials with no accountability, needs to stop.

 
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 9, 2020

Musk on Saturday announced that Tesla was filing a lawsuit against Alameda County, where the facility is located, immediately. The “complaint for injunctive and declaratory relief” disputes the county’s authority over a recent order from California governor Gavin Newsom allowing federally defined “critical infrastructure”—which Tesla sees itself as—open. 

“The unelected and ignorant ‘Interim Health Officer’ of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our Constitutional freedoms, and just plain common sense,” Musk said via Twitter. 

Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.

Many on Twitter pointed out that Tesla already has more experience dealing with the coronavirus crisis than most other Bay Area companies, as its Shanghai Gigafactory is under Tesla’s direct control. Musk encouraged shareholders to wage their own class action suit on the matter.

Alameda County issued an extensive statement on Tesla Saturday afternoon, noting that they have been working closely with the Tesla team on the ground in Fremont. “It is our collective responsibility to move through the phases of reopening and loosening the restrictions of the Shelter-in-Place Order in the safest way possible, guided by data and science,” it stated.

The heated exchange and lawsuit follow what amounted to an expletive-filled rant during Tesla’s quarterly call with analysts and investors late last month. Musk then called stay-at-home orders “fascist” and argued it was limiting freedom.

Tesla has assembled vehicles at the former GM (and Toyota) facility in Fremont since 2012. It currently builds all of its vehicles there except for those for China at the plant, and it’s made several waves of improvements that, as of its last quarterly report, have led to a claimed installed annual capacity of 500,000 vehicles. It has a European Gigafactory under construction outside Berlin, and is currently mulling locations for a second U.S. factory.

California is the electric-vehicle epicenter of the U.S. Would you feel differently about Tesla if it were no longer based in California or Silicon Valley? Does it matter? Let us know in your comments below.

well wherever they decide to move to I do hope they leave their progressive politics in California....    way too many people are leaving New York and California because the democrats have totally screwed up the conditions there, but they take that same political view with them and are in the process of screwing up the places they are moving to....   and it's really senseless.

No doubt the attitude of  their standpoints will move with the corporation. It's difficult to expect otherwise.

That's unfortunate to hear. Are they also manufacturing cars with autopilot there as well? Just curious.

Probaly. There are even semi-trucks with no actual person driving all across the US now. Remember the cartoon, "The Jetsons"?

The Jetsons? Yeah, I do. It was one of the most favorite Saturday afternoon cartoons I loved to watch. This program both amazed and amused me. Lots of laughs and eating peanut butter and crackers! Remember the robot, Uniblab?

By the way, this post is obsolete on information. Tesla decided to stay. At least this was nice to share.

LOL :red-neck-laughing-smiley-emoticon: Information is never obsolete. And it was appropriate to say the least. Ever notice the many "hidden truths" in the older TV programs? Or should I say the subjects which were foreshadowing today? Shalom.

Interesting topic on Tesla. By the way..... :whistling:

Much information about Tesla is out there. I actually have books mentioning Tesla as having wanted to develop "free electricity" through worldwide satellite stations/towers for the world just before he died. Interesting stuff indeed.

Please pardon. Could be considered conspiracy.

Sorry. No facts here. :whistling:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
