"Tesla stock soared today, up over 17% at one point, on solid earnings reports, and also due to achieving the highest recommendation of all cars from Consumer Reports (Note, not linking direct to paywalled CR site). In addition, Tesla Motors Inc. is expected to make a big announcement regarding its 'gigafactory' battery plant this week. Tesla is rumored to be partnering with Japan's Panasonic Corp. or South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. The location of the factory is also yet to be determined, although analysts have bet on New Mexico or Arizona. One thing is sure: 'Tesla hopes to reinvent battery production like it already did to other parts of the auto supply chain,' one Wall Street analyst said.
Within the next few weeks, CEO Elon Musk will go to China to deliver the country's first Model S according to CNBC."

Stories come from the community. If you want better stories, submit better stories. (I've submitted a couple, and they are not the most outstanding things ever to grace the front page of Soylent. Submitting a good story is not as easy as it sounds, I quickly learned.)

Stories come from the community and are filtered by the editors. There are quite a few interesting stories in the submission queue, and yet LaminatorX managed to pick the ones that embodied the worst of Slashdot. Dopefish, in contrast, managed to pick a load of interesting articles from the same queue.
Given the posting rate of about one story per hour, the problem is not the shortage of submissions, it's poor choices by the editors (or, specifically, by one editor). Looking at the current submission queue, there are 48, and about a quarter of them look like they'd be interesting. That's enough for the next 12 hours, even if nothing else is submitted.
