Tesla leases former Solyndra building in Fremont
SFGate.com ^ | 6/11/15 | David R. Baker

Fast-growing Tesla Motors has leased a Fremont building once occupied by Solyndra before the solar company’s high-profile implosion, the Silicon Valley Business Times reported Thursday.

The 500,000-square-foot facility, at 901 Page Ave., was the last of Solyndra’s former buildings to remain empty. Seagate Technologies snapped up Solyndra’s main factory — built with $528 million in federal loans — in 2012. And earlier this year, SolarCity leased a two-building Solyndra complex at 47700 Kato Rd. Tesla CEO Elon Musk chairs SolarCity’s corporate board.

Convenient and probably a steal for Musk. Hopefully it turns out better for him than Solyndra but I wouldn’t bet money on it.

"Fast-growing Tesla Motors"?

Well, if you're going to lie in an article, get it done and out of the way quickly, and move on before anyone notices the lie.

I suppose fast-growing would mean that Tesla is now selling 500,000 vehicles per year. So, congratulations to them.

Oh, wait! I did say that it's a lie, didn't I? Never mind.

Tesla thinks Solyndra didn’t ask for enough subsidies

The Model X has gullwing doors... What happens if it rolls over? Does it have explosive bolts like the new Mercedes gullwing?

Speaking of the late not so great Soyndra: has there ever been an audit to try to find out where all the money went?
