"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."

    I never knew anything substantive about New Mexico.

    Tesla would be far better off in the areas you suggest.

    Two years being forgotten? That's not just 15 million. Some people needed to go to prison too for that level of gross negligence that resulted in harm. No excuses for that. Simply amazing.

    The problem is that this is law enforcement, and they almost never go to prison for their negligence or even attempted murder or any other crime they commit. Did LAPD officers to go prison for their attempted murder when they emptied their magazines shooting at a pickup truck with two women in it, thinking that Chris Dorner was in it? (Their pickup didn't look anything like Dorner's truck, its only commonality was that it was a truck.) Nope.
