I get that business is business but at what price.

Elon Musk Announces China Tesla Plant After Paying Lip Service to Trump’s Trade Campaign


quote:

A joint announcement released by Shanghai’s government said a preliminary agreement had been signed to build the plant in the commercial hub’s Lingang district.“Shanghai will be the location for the first Gigafactory outside the United States,” said Musk. “It will be a state-of-the-art vehicle factory and a role model for sustainability. We hope it will be completed very soon.”

Well they can remember this decision next time they come asking the American people to subsidize their business model, Trump assuredly will

I wonder where he will stand when China seizes the factory for the "betterment of the people"... Other than that, let the fricker try to suck off a different government's teet for awhile...

Prepare to have all your tech and trade secrets stolen and copied with impunity.

I can't recall ever seeing one of these cars on the road. Anyone know someone who has a Tesla?

I would think this would be an easy one. Your subsidies go away very quickly if you make your cars in china.

The famous criminal Willie Sutton was once asked why he robbed banks, and his response was simple, eloquent, and humorous: Because that's where the money is.

Willie Sutton spent more than half his adult life in prison. Bad decisions have bad consequences.

Time will tell whether Elon Musk's business decision to partner with China was a sound one. I'll answer GREEDY.

I see them regularly in Houston. Don't know anyone that owns one, though.
