Republican voters don’t care about Trump’s corruption — and here’s why

That's a 2 year old article....times have changed since trump
No, it hasn't.

All that ever happened was Musk claimed he would have a factory in China within three years. It never happened and to this day nothing has happened.

The only thing that ever REALLY happened was that Musk had an agreement to discuss the possibility of a factory.

That was it. Nothing ever came of it. Nothing ever will.

From the above article...."Tesla is swimming in Model 3 sales in the United States, where the sports sedan is #1 in its class, #4 among all cars (not counting trucks and SUVs), and also the #1 highest grossing car in the country. However, we in the press can get impatient and are always looking for progress — the next big news item. With Tesla, an increasingly global company, that often means looking for news from China."

A tweet of pure bullshit is not news.

It hasn't happened.

There is no factory.

It doesn't exist.

A couple of weeks later, Chinese media outlets got their first view of the site, part of Shanghai’s Lingang New City. And two weeks after that, just one month ago, we reported that Tesla had increased the registered capital for Gigafactory 3 from 100 million yuan ($14.6 million) to 4.67 billion yuan ($681 million).

Progress is rolling. A Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai may seem like a mythical dream, but so did Gigafactory 1 once upon a time. In fact, it probably wasn’t until July 29, 2016, that Gigafactory 1 genuinely demonstrated to the public it was the real deal. Gigafactory 1 is now two years ahead of its original schedule and Tesla’s production ramp is matching up more or less perfectly with Elon Musk’s 2015 forecasts.

While Musk is no super-robot and is sometimes too optimistic with near-term or mid-term forecasts, he appears to have a special skill when it comes to long-term planning. After all, over the course of approximately one decade, he somehow nailed a rather detailed, ambitious, and many said impossible “secret master plan.” With that history of executionbehind him, those of us who have been following Tesla closely for a long time see it as more or less impossible that Tesla won’t deliver on Gigafactory 3.

Furthermore, given how quickly China and Tesla like to get stuff done and how eager they both are to cut transportation emissions, a widespread assumption is that Gigafactory 3 will also run ahead of schedule. We’ll see if Elon would like to drop us a comment on Twitter (or below this article) about his forecasts for Gigafactory 3 and its construction timeline.........

You mean that thing that all of trumps closest allies are going to prison for?

It's a bit late to build a factory ahead of schedule when you said it would be built three years ago and to this day not one single shovel of dirt, even a ceremonial one, has been moved to start construction.

Another broken promise. Those trucks were supposed to enter production two years ago.

As it stands now, they're "hoping " to get production started in 2020.

I'm already betting against it. Pretty much everyone is.

Tesla Gigafactory 100% off grid. there are no electric or gas lines running to this factory.
This factory is only 30% complete....

The head of the US National Guard, one of the top military officers in charge of responding to hurricanes and other disasters affecting the United States, claims he does not know why the climate is changing. What’s more, he has yet to discuss the threat climate change poses to Americans with President Donald Trump.

Those are the main takeaways from a conversation reporters had on Friday with Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In a session organized by George Washington University, Lengyel discussed the National Guard’s response to Hurricane Michael, which has devastated areas from Florida’s Panhandle to Virginia and killed 13 people this week.

But when I asked if he thought climate change contributed to the intense hurricanes and the ensuing disasters the National Guard has dealt with in recent years, he demurred....
