Schwarzenegger seizes Tesla Motors plant for California
Arnold Schwarzenegger has managed to ensure that noted electrical car company Tesla will base future manufacturing in areas under his rule. California tax exemption on manufacturing equipment to zero-emissions vehicle builders. Tesla is presently headquartered in California, and has its design team there, but much of the assembly on the present Roadster is done in the UK by Lotus (its body is basically an Elise).
IMO: Runs flat after 165 miles and then out of action for awhile, could maybe be improved by 2010 when it supposedly launches
