Musk - Tesla is out of California if you don't end the shutdown now!
2020-05-10
“Elon Musk threatened to move Tesla Inc.’s headquarters and future program to Texas and Nevada “immediately,” a day after a California county told the company it can’t reopen its auto-assembly plant yet.“
Odds on it relating to the destruction of the Imperial College's Ferguson model by some top Google people posting anonymously? here with an update here.
[Bloomberg] Elon Musk lashed out at the California county blocking Tesla Inc. from reopening its only U.S. car plant, threatening to immediately move the company’s headquarters and future programs to other states and cease manufacturing at its factory.

The chief executive officer said Tesla will file a lawsuit against Alameda County, a day after its health officer said it wasn’t appropriate for the carmaker to move forward with plans to reopen. Musk, who has called government shutdown orders to contain the coronavirus “fascist,” said Tesla will decide whether to keep producing cars in Fremont, California, based on how it’s treated going forward.

#10  I don't know about Nevada but Texas has suffered from Californication . They come here wanting the "free stuff" they were used to getting , then scream like stuck pigs when they get taxed for it.

#8  If I was one of the governors of TX or NV, I'd be on the phone with Musk right now offering to send a fleet of moving trucks and the personnel to move it all. Might as well do it during the shutdown.

#3  Good. Also move Boeing HQ to Tulsa or Omaha.

#2  There is nothing whatsoever that Tesla finds in Fremont CA that it cannot just as easily, and more cost-effectively, find in Austin or Plano or Fort Worth TX. Without all the bureaucratic bother and BS of Cali.

Here's betting that this time next year finds Tesla HQ in Texas.
