Smartest move yet, I hope they do not drop another nickel into GM and such. Made me throw up when I saw their first commercial about a new beginning to find out they sold Saturn and kept all the fuel pigs, lesson not learned. 10 years from now, GM will be gone or split up into smaller parts.

The dealership is near where I live.
I remember passing by it once and getting on the freeway onramp then doing my usual stunt. I saw a Tesla getting on the freeway looking really fast...
in my rearview mirror.

Good news for the Bay Area. They plan is to increase battery production and adding 650 new jobs. That's where the technology is.
