Los Angeles ditches plan to invest billions in fossil fuels, Mayor Eric Garcetti says

LA is not repowering any of it’s natural gas power plants, and moving to renewables instead. Portends well for Tesla battery storage sales imo.

What's up with the negative news from GF2? Elon is apparently neglecting it?
The Latest News From The Tesla Gigafactory 2 In Buffalo Isn't Good | CleanTechnica
Buffalo and that entire region are very highly vested in unions. It's in the blood up there. I grew up in western New York. That entire area is so economically depressed now it is really sad. No idea what the specifics are here, but the environment is very much non corporate. Kodak...Bausch and Lomb...Corning all seen better days for various reasons but the drive to unionize has to weigh heavy on any business that tries to establish itself in the area.

The problems are nothing to do with unions. It's product.
 
Early Afternoon Drop?

Silent TMC member and long time Tesla critic Edward @Niedermeyer yesterday published a Tesla hit piece on TheDrive: NHTSA's analysis of Tesla Autopilot safety was bad, but its coverup was worse.

Benzinga headlined it 25 minutes ago which TD Ameritrade and its Thinkorswim immediately repeated in their news feeds: Tesla Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) - The Drive Publishes Article Criticizing NHTSA's Autopilot Safety Study

Niedermeyer's argument is based on January 2017 and November 2018 NHTSA reports, and a Quality Control Systems rebuttal of them this past Friday.
