Tesla Runs Off with Toyota, Leaving Downey at the Altar

Hosted by

Governor Schwarzenegger is among those congratulating Tesla Motors for its decision to make electric cars in California.  Tesla has made a deal with Toyota to use a recently closed factory in Fremont, in the East San Francisco Bay Area. While it's great news for Fremont, it's a crushing disappointment here in Los Angeles County. The City of Downey spent a year negotiating with Tesla to operate in buildings where the Apollo spacecraft were built.  But the same day that Downey called a special City Council meeting to approve the Tesla deal, Tesla said it had other ideas.
