Tesla's New York Gigafactory Kicks Off Solar Roof Production
I&#x27;m not a big fan of Elon Musk, but let&#x27;s not get political.<p>I do however, want to point out Buffalo .. its troubles with Solar City .. and its troubles with Elon Musk.<p>Key (non-disputed &#x2F; non-political points)<p>- Tesla did not hire local workers, and did not hold up on its end for diversity of work-force
- SolarCity received 750$ million in the Billion to Buffalo at a time it hadn&#x27;t operated at a profit in over 2 years (I believe)
- Ciminelli, Buffalo&#x27;s prior largest construction company that built SolarCity was charged with bid rigging &#x2F; bribery by the Federal Government and it has all but folded up shop.
- Panasonic &#x2F; Tesla agreement &#x2F; partnership existed in 2006, yet Cuomo said he brokered this deal (fabrication)<p>The Riverbend site that SolarCity started has all but been successful in Erie County. That&#x27;s my 2c, and the above is factual, non-disputed points.<p>So .. my real question, is why is this not brought to the national level for discussion to what Elon is doing to communities like Buffalo, where I live? That&#x27;s my question ...
