It depends on how your brain is wired. I notice lack of apostrophes all the time. A lot of people don't know how to punctuate or spell. But that's my brain -- on drugs.

Well it's still over my head. "Its" is possessive. "It's" is a contraction. So what is the joke?

 

[AudubonB]

It's gone now, dmckinstry. So rather than keep all in the dark, the name of the automobile company was misspelled. The "its/it's" was just a red herring.

Ha, yeah I snuck in and fixed that. Telsa is a misspelling I just can't do

The Nevada Legislature just approved the incentives package for the Tesla Giga factory near Reno! The governor is expected to sign the bill within the hour! Let's get this party started!

One of the pieces of the package Tesla wants is lower electricity rates for the facility and the legislator I heard said that NV Energy will have permission to raise the electricity rates for Nevada residents to make the rate-cut for Tesla. I am very Pro-Tesla, but as a Nevada resident this incentive is not my favorite. I hope that they can indeed produce a car that is affordable and appealing to mass market consumers. The Model S is a bit to pricey for most of us.

Did he sign it yet? One of the pieces of the package Tesla wants is lower electricity rates for the facility and the legislator I was talking with said that NV Energy will have permission to raise the electricity rates for Washoe County residents to make the rate-cut for Tesla. I am very Pro-Tesla, but as a Washoe County resident this incentive is not my favorite. I hope that they can indeed produce a car that is affordable and appealing to the mass market consumers. The Model S is a bit to pricey for most of us.

Don't know if he's signed it yet. I would hate to think that what's promised (by Tesla) does not become reality.

Yeah I saw something about free electricity. What puzzles me about this is that Tesla have said the factory will generate its own power - via solar, geothermal and wind. It ought not to draw any power from Nevada.

Perhaps this is only while the factory is being set up? (construction will undoubtedly require a lot of electricity)

Once the factory is up and running, and generating all its own electricity, it would be kinda mean to continue charging regular residents extra for electricity when the Tesla factory wasn't using any.

Just like on the superchargers, it will take years before all solarpanels, windturbins and battery-packs is installed. And they will need the grid as a backup, and maybe to sell surplus power?
