Since then, the city has experienced nearly two weeks of continuous unrest and volatile protests. State Attorney General Xavier Becerra said his office would investigate the incident, at the request of the Sacramento Police Department. And today, the results of an independent autopsy ordered by Clark’s family were released: It found that Clark had been hit by eight bullets, six of which entered his body from the back and side.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">John Burris, civil rights attorney \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jack Glaser, UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy professor and associate dean\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katie Orr, KQED Sacramento politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tech News: Trump Attacks Amazon, Turmoil for Facebook and Tesla\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Trump attacked Amazon again yesterday, saying in a tweet that the company doesn’t pay enough taxes and is harming the U.S. economy.

Since then, the city has experienced nearly two weeks of continuous unrest and volatile protests. State Attorney General Xavier Becerra said his office would investigate the incident, at the request of the Sacramento Police Department. And today, the results of an independent autopsy ordered by Clark’s family were released: It found that Clark had been hit by eight bullets, six of which entered his body from the back and side.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">John Burris, civil rights attorney \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jack Glaser, UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy professor and associate dean\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katie Orr, KQED Sacramento politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tech News: Trump Attacks Amazon, Turmoil for Facebook and Tesla\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Trump attacked Amazon again yesterday, saying in a tweet that the company doesn’t pay enough taxes and is harming the U.S. economy.

The CHP reported the crash occurred “at freeway speeds,” and witnesses said the Model X burst into flames immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities identified the driver as Wei Huang, 38, of Mountain View, though he was known to family, friends and associates as Walter Huang.

The data could show whether the car’s semi-autonomous Autopilot system was engaged at the time of the crash, whether the vehicle’s brakes were applied before the collision and other information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s statement highlighted the role of a missing safety barrier — called a crash attenuator — at the crash site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crash occurred at a point where the left lane of southbound 101 exits onto a flyover ramp that carries traffic to southbound Highway 85.

Tesla says the severity of the crash was due to the absence of the safety barrier. \u003ccite>(Tesla )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s statement compares a Streetview image from November to a picture captured by a passing vehicle’s dashboard camera last Thursday and says the images prove the crash attenuator was not in place. The company makes a further claim, too: that the absence of the safety barrier was primarily responsible for the devastating damage the crash caused to the company’s vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason this crash was so severe is that the crash attenuator, a highway safety barrier which is designed to reduce the impact into a concrete lane divider, had either been removed or crushed in a prior accident without being replaced,” Tesla said. “… We have never seen this level of damage to a Model X in any other crash.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Transportation Safety Board told the Washington Post the agency is “looking at the damaged attenuator and looking at an undamaged one and looking at if it had an effect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol reported Thursday that the crash attenuator had been damaged in a crash March 12. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said in a statement late Wednesday afternoon that the agency is “reviewing the facts and circumstances of this incident and are cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board’s ongoing investigation. Safety is our top priority and Caltrans will carefully evaluate the investigation’s findings and take appropriate action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Previous Damage Visible in Online Images\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A review of Google Streetview images over the last seven years shows the crash barrier was installed between May 2011 and December 2013. Images from 2014 through 2016 depict it intact, but it’s absent in pictures captured in January and February 2017, apparently after a crash at the site. The attenuator was back in place by late last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s statement came after the National Transportation Safety Board announced it has dispatched two investigators to look into the post-crash fire and the steps that firefighters and Tesla technicians had to take to make the Model X safe to remove from the crash scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fires are a well-known hazard for conventional gasoline-fueled vehicles. But both manufacturers and emergency responders are facing unique fire hazards posed by battery-powered vehicles like the Model X involved in Friday’s crash. California has about 350,000 electric vehicles on the road — and hundreds of thousands of hybrids and plug-in hybrids that use similar battery technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-voltage batteries used by Tesla and other electric carmakers — actually a collection of modules containing hundreds of small lithium ion cells — are known to pose a fire risk if the battery compartment is breached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla and other manufacturers publish emergency guides for first responders with special instructions on how to deal with the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the high voltage battery catches fire, is exposed to high heat, or is bent, twisted, cracked, or breached in any way, use large amounts of water to cool the battery,” Tesla’s \u003ca href=\"http://assets.teslastatic.com/2016_Model_X_Emergency_Response_Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 emergency response guide\u003c/a> for the Model X warns. “DO NOT extinguish with a small amount of water. Always establish or request an additional water supply.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guide adds that the batteries can burn for 24 hours and that responders should use thermal imaging equipment to ensure that a fire is actually out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Firefighters Turned to Tesla for Help\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View Fire Chief Juan Diaz told reporters Friday that his firefighters had only a limited amount of water to try to douse the battery fire that broke out after the Model X crash. That led the Fire Department to seek outside expertise — from Tesla itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz told the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mv-voice.com/news/2018/03/26/driver-identified-in-fiery-tesla-crash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mountain View Voice\u003c/a> news site:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Diaz said the department was put in a difficult situation. Fire crews had 500 gallons of water at the scene, but getting any more would have required running 2,000 feet of thick fire hose across Highway 101, which would have been catastrophic for traffic in both directions, Diaz said. But letting the car continue to burn on a busy highway, destroying the battery, would have been a bad choice as well, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the middle of the Highway 101 freeway, that’s not something we want to do,” he said. “And it’s not good for the environment with the byproducts of combustion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire crews used the available supply of water and contacted the manufacturer of the vehicle, Palo Alto-based Tesla, to assist in getting the battery’s temperature under control. Diaz said the engineers essentially disassembled a portion of the car battery on the spot, and that subsequent thermal imaging showed that the battery was no longer unstable.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It took about 5½ hours after the crash before the vehicle was considered stable enough to move. Diaz said crews monitored the wreckage at an impound yard because of the possibility of reignition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s share price has fallen nearly $50 — from $304 at the open of trading Tuesday to $257 late Wednesday — partly in response to news of the NTSB probe into the Friday crash. Analysts say investors are also selling Tesla shares because of \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-crash-ntsb/u-s-opens-probe-into-fatal-tesla-crash-fire-in-california-idUSKBN1H32OT\">a credit downgrade\u003c/a> announced Tuesday night.\u003cbr>\n<a id=\"update\"\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Updates:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>5 p.m. Wednesday, to include response from Caltrans.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 p.m. Thursday, to include new details about victim Walter Huang and claims that he had complained about his Tesla Model X’s Autopilot system.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tesla says the severity of the crash was due to the absence of the safety barrier. \u003ccite>(Tesla )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s statement compares a Streetview image from November to a picture captured by a passing vehicle’s dashboard camera last Thursday and says the images prove the crash attenuator was not in place. The company makes a further claim, too: that the absence of the safety barrier was primarily responsible for the devastating damage the crash caused to the company’s vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason this crash was so severe is that the crash attenuator, a highway safety barrier which is designed to reduce the impact into a concrete lane divider, had either been removed or crushed in a prior accident without being replaced,” Tesla said. “… We have never seen this level of damage to a Model X in any other crash.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Transportation Safety Board told the Washington Post the agency is “looking at the damaged attenuator and looking at an undamaged one and looking at if it had an effect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol reported Thursday that the crash attenuator had been damaged in a crash March 12. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said in a statement late Wednesday afternoon that the agency is “reviewing the facts and circumstances of this incident and are cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board’s ongoing investigation. Safety is our top priority and Caltrans will carefully evaluate the investigation’s findings and take appropriate action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Previous Damage Visible in Online Images\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A review of Google Streetview images over the last seven years shows the crash barrier was installed between May 2011 and December 2013. Images from 2014 through 2016 depict it intact, but it’s absent in pictures captured in January and February 2017, apparently after a crash at the site. The attenuator was back in place by late last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s statement came after the National Transportation Safety Board announced it has dispatched two investigators to look into the post-crash fire and the steps that firefighters and Tesla technicians had to take to make the Model X safe to remove from the crash scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fires are a well-known hazard for conventional gasoline-fueled vehicles. But both manufacturers and emergency responders are facing unique fire hazards posed by battery-powered vehicles like the Model X involved in Friday’s crash. California has about 350,000 electric vehicles on the road — and hundreds of thousands of hybrids and plug-in hybrids that use similar battery technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-voltage batteries used by Tesla and other electric carmakers — actually a collection of modules containing hundreds of small lithium ion cells — are known to pose a fire risk if the battery compartment is breached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla and other manufacturers publish emergency guides for first responders with special instructions on how to deal with the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the high voltage battery catches fire, is exposed to high heat, or is bent, twisted, cracked, or breached in any way, use large amounts of water to cool the battery,” Tesla’s \u003ca href=\"http://assets.teslastatic.com/2016_Model_X_Emergency_Response_Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 emergency response guide\u003c/a> for the Model X warns. “DO NOT extinguish with a small amount of water. Always establish or request an additional water supply.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guide adds that the batteries can burn for 24 hours and that responders should use thermal imaging equipment to ensure that a fire is actually out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Firefighters Turned to Tesla for Help\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View Fire Chief Juan Diaz told reporters Friday that his firefighters had only a limited amount of water to try to douse the battery fire that broke out after the Model X crash. That led the Fire Department to seek outside expertise — from Tesla itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz told the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mv-voice.com/news/2018/03/26/driver-identified-in-fiery-tesla-crash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mountain View Voice\u003c/a> news site:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Diaz said the department was put in a difficult situation. Fire crews had 500 gallons of water at the scene, but getting any more would have required running 2,000 feet of thick fire hose across Highway 101, which would have been catastrophic for traffic in both directions, Diaz said. But letting the car continue to burn on a busy highway, destroying the battery, would have been a bad choice as well, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the middle of the Highway 101 freeway, that’s not something we want to do,” he said. “And it’s not good for the environment with the byproducts of combustion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire crews used the available supply of water and contacted the manufacturer of the vehicle, Palo Alto-based Tesla, to assist in getting the battery’s temperature under control. Diaz said the engineers essentially disassembled a portion of the car battery on the spot, and that subsequent thermal imaging showed that the battery was no longer unstable.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It took about 5½ hours after the crash before the vehicle was considered stable enough to move. Diaz said crews monitored the wreckage at an impound yard because of the possibility of reignition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s share price has fallen nearly $50 — from $304 at the open of trading Tuesday to $257 late Wednesday — partly in response to news of the NTSB probe into the Friday crash. Analysts say investors are also selling Tesla shares because of \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-crash-ntsb/u-s-opens-probe-into-fatal-tesla-crash-fire-in-california-idUSKBN1H32OT\">a credit downgrade\u003c/a> announced Tuesday night.\u003cbr>\n<a id=\"update\"\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Updates:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>5 p.m. Wednesday, to include response from Caltrans.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 p.m. Thursday, to include new details about victim Walter Huang and claims that he had complained about his Tesla Model X’s Autopilot system.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was used to create \"psychograpic\" or personality profiles for voters in order to target them with Trump-related content. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a later tweet Friday, Musk admitted that leaving Facebook wasn't a personal sacrifice, despite the 2.6 million likes that SpaceX had accumulated over the years, as Business Insider \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-deletes-tesla-spacex-facebook-pages-2018-3\">noted\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't use FB & never have, so don't think I'm some kind of martyr or my companies are taking a huge blow,\" he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also a tumultuous history between Musk and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. They disagree on the benefits of artificial technology. So much so that Zuckerberg once called Musk a \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/07/25/facebook_ceo_mark_zuckerberg_ai_naysayers_like_elon_musk_are_really_negative_pretty_irresponsible.html\">naysayer\u003c/a>.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk wasted little time in shooting back over Twitter, writing, \"I've talked to Mark about this. His understanding of the subject is limited.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in 2016, Zuckerberg \u003ca href=\"https://www.recode.net/2017/7/25/16026184/mark-zuckerberg-artificial-intelligence-elon-musk-ai-argument-twitter\">noted \u003c/a>that one of Musk's SpaceX rockets\u003ca href=\"https://www.recode.net/2016/9/1/12749196/spacex-rocket-exploded-test-firing-cape-canaveral\"> blew up \u003c/a>on a launch pad and incinerated a Facebook satellite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm deeply disappointed to hear that SpaceX's launch failure destroyed our satellite that would have provided connectivity to so many entrepreneurs and everyone else across the continent,\" Zuckerberg posted to Facebook at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the statement appears mild, it was perceived as an escalation of their feud. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When onlookers to Friday's Twitter scuffle reminded Musk of the incident, he said, \"It was my fault for being an idiot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/977236378105798656\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk's disdain for Facebook, however, does not extend to Instagram, where Musk has 6.9 million followers.

But he added, \"I think it's a clear signal that this is a major trust issue for people, and I understand that.

Sen. Steve Glazer of Orinda said the state should not “hold our environmental projects hostage to a fight with one progressive employer.” Sen.

Labor’s been there for a long, long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now state regulators -- at both the state Air Resources Board and the Labor & Workforce Development Agency -- will hold public hearings and draft rules for certifying automakers who want their vehicles to qualify for California rebates. The Legislature will then need to approve those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the points of contention:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What is “fair and responsible” to auto workers?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state weigh wage and benefit standards, or training and safety requirements, against manufacturing costs?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state certify vehicles made outside of California or even out of the country, such as in Mexico and China, where wages are lower and labor regulations are less stringent? Or will automakers self-police by adhering to a code of conduct?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Dean Florez, a former Democratic state lawmaker and a member of the air board, said California can have both labor protections and environmental leadership as the state charts new territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be using public money to fund or support companies that do not meet basic worker protections,” Florez said. “We shouldn’t undercut the labor protections that we have fought for, for so many years. And I think that there is a danger in doing so; I think we would lose the confidence of the public for environmental leadership in the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new requirement will apply to all automakers, but it couldn’t have come at a worse time for Tesla, a company that prides itself on innovation and disrupting the status quo. When plant workers went public with complaints about \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@moran2017j/time-for-tesla-to-listen-ab5c6259fc88\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">low pay, long hours and unsafe conditions\u003c/a>, Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk labeled labor’s tactics “\u003ca href=\"https://electrek.co/2017/02/24/tesla-union-elon-musk-addresses-employees/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disingenuous or outright false\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While making $17 to $21 an hour is above minimum wage, Tesla employee Jose Moran noted that a living wage in the San Francisco Bay Area is a lot higher -- around $28. Musk responded that Tesla’s compensation package is higher than General Motors, Ford and Fiat when including Tesla’s employee stock program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company wouldn’t comment now, beyond referring back to what its policy director Sanjay Ranchod told lawmakers at a September hearing: “The company is committed to protecting the health and safety of its workers, and we are committed to continue and to make progress towards our goal of becoming the safest auto factory in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the nation’s newest automaker, Tesla is also on track to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-02/evs-from-tesla-and-gm-may-start-losing-their-tax-credits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the first\u003c/a> to max out on a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle. And with its Model 3 sedans pitched as its affordable electric car at $35,000, Tesla will need California’s rebate more than ever to compete against other electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Bolt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business boosters wonder why the state would single out clean-energy vehicles over gasoline cars for greater scrutiny when \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/zevprog/zevprog.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">40 percent\u003c/a> of the state’s greenhouse gases come from tailpipe emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They worry Sacramento’s pro-labor stance will dissuade companies from locating or expanding in California. Already, Tesla located its first battery factory just outside the state line in Sparks, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politicians say they want good-paying jobs, and to grow manufacturing and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, “and yet, we’re in the ironic place where Tesla is being attacked by some elected officials relative to whether or not their workers are unionized,” said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a trade association representing nearly 400 Silicon Valley employers, including Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is home to about 10,000 auto industry workers, virtually all from Tesla. That’s compared to 38,000 in Michigan, 24,000 in Kentucky and 20,000 in Ohio, according to the U.S. Labor Department’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iagauto.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union representatives say the goal is not to slow the production of clean energy vehicles. Rather, they maintain, if taxpayer money is being used to help sell cars, then it’s up to the state to make sure it results in good-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all part of our work at the labor movement to make sure there’s accountability for public investments,” said Angie Wei, an influential lobbyist for the California Labor Federation, the umbrella group for unions including the UAW. “If we’re going to put taxpayer money into it, then we’d sure better be getting something out of it for jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union also is trying to maintain its role as the auto industry makes big bets on electric vehicles. Just this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/business/energy-environment/volvo-hybrid-electric-car.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Volvo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/02/death-of-diesel-begins-as-gm-announces-plans-for-all-electric-future/?utm_term=.89c8dd93f339\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GM\u003c/a> announced plans to phase out conventional engines. The union can also use a win in labor-friendly California after losing an organizing effort at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/05/business/nissan-united-auto-workers-union-mississippi.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nissan plant in Mississippi\u003c/a>, a right-to-work state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the Nummi plant that Tesla took over in Fremont was represented by the union before the joint venture between GM and Toyota closed in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is about Tesla and it isn’t about Tesla,” Wei said. “We had a gas-and-combustion industry that for decades created good middle-class jobs. They’re now being replaced by electric vehicles. This is our new economy, and with major public investment. The question is are we going to allow the auto industry to create and maintain middle class jobs? Or are they going to become the next Walmartization of the economy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento has placed itself at the forefront of cleaning up the environment. Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Democratic lawmakers have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/leaving-europe-brown-says-hes-talked-enough-wants-get-something-done/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pitched California as a model to the world\u003c/a> for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change in direct response to the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has also had a longstanding relationship with labor unions, stepping up the minimum wage and offering access to paid sick and family leave. In recent years, the California Labor Federation has successfully pushed legislation to protect immigrant workers from threats of deportation and expanded authority for the state to go after employers who skirt overtime or minimum-wage laws. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lobbying reports show Tesla spent $189,237 on lobbying in the 3-month cycle during which the bill was debated, compared to $103,351 for the labor federation. But labor’s might comes also from being able to mobilize its members on issues and during elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers who struggled to prioritize the interests of two political allies will have more to soul-searching to do next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638714\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11638714\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-375x563.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker at Tesla. \u003ccite>(Penni Gladstone for CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen. Scott Weiner of San Francisco, who has a record of advancing the green economy and supporting prevailing wage to maintain union pay on public works projects, said he was unhappy that the so called “Tesla rule” had been inserted at the last minute. “This is significant and important enough that it should be vetted through a normal legislative process with public scrutiny. That to me is the best way to come to the right solution,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His fellow Democratic lawmaker and San Franciscan Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly Budget Committee and authored the measure, insisted it strikes “a good middle ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could have said you’re not going to get any money unless your workforce is unionized. That could have been something we inserted. We didn’t,” Ting said in an interview. “Having said that, we also could have done nothing. So if you look at the two extremes where we could done nothing or we could have dictated the type of workforce, I think this is the middle of those extremes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the decision to unionize remains up to workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker who has been at Tesla for nearly four years, said he supports joining the union because it would mean a higher wage and seniority for him. As the son of a postal worker, Catura said he has been disappointed that he has been passed over for promotions because supervisors can play favorites. He said he started at $17 an hour and now makes $21 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catura has one message for Elon Musk: “I would tell him, ‘Hey man, scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.

Or will automakers self-police by adhering to a code of conduct?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Dean Florez, a former Democratic state lawmaker and a member of the air board, said California can have both labor protections and environmental leadership as the state charts new territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be using public money to fund or support companies that do not meet basic worker protections,” Florez said. “We shouldn’t undercut the labor protections that we have fought for, for so many years. And I think that there is a danger in doing so; I think we would lose the confidence of the public for environmental leadership in the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new requirement will apply to all automakers, but it couldn’t have come at a worse time for Tesla, a company that prides itself on innovation and disrupting the status quo. When plant workers went public with complaints about \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@moran2017j/time-for-tesla-to-listen-ab5c6259fc88\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">low pay, long hours and unsafe conditions\u003c/a>, Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk labeled labor’s tactics “\u003ca href=\"https://electrek.co/2017/02/24/tesla-union-elon-musk-addresses-employees/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disingenuous or outright false\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While making $17 to $21 an hour is above minimum wage, Tesla employee Jose Moran noted that a living wage in the San Francisco Bay Area is a lot higher -- around $28. Musk responded that Tesla’s compensation package is higher than General Motors, Ford and Fiat when including Tesla’s employee stock program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company wouldn’t comment now, beyond referring back to what its policy director Sanjay Ranchod told lawmakers at a September hearing: “The company is committed to protecting the health and safety of its workers, and we are committed to continue and to make progress towards our goal of becoming the safest auto factory in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the nation’s newest automaker, Tesla is also on track to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-02/evs-from-tesla-and-gm-may-start-losing-their-tax-credits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the first\u003c/a> to max out on a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle. And with its Model 3 sedans pitched as its affordable electric car at $35,000, Tesla will need California’s rebate more than ever to compete against other electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Bolt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business boosters wonder why the state would single out clean-energy vehicles over gasoline cars for greater scrutiny when \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/zevprog/zevprog.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">40 percent\u003c/a> of the state’s greenhouse gases come from tailpipe emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They worry Sacramento’s pro-labor stance will dissuade companies from locating or expanding in California. Already, Tesla located its first battery factory just outside the state line in Sparks, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politicians say they want good-paying jobs, and to grow manufacturing and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, “and yet, we’re in the ironic place where Tesla is being attacked by some elected officials relative to whether or not their workers are unionized,” said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a trade association representing nearly 400 Silicon Valley employers, including Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is home to about 10,000 auto industry workers, virtually all from Tesla. That’s compared to 38,000 in Michigan, 24,000 in Kentucky and 20,000 in Ohio, according to the U.S. Labor Department’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iagauto.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union representatives say the goal is not to slow the production of clean energy vehicles. Rather, they maintain, if taxpayer money is being used to help sell cars, then it’s up to the state to make sure it results in good-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all part of our work at the labor movement to make sure there’s accountability for public investments,” said Angie Wei, an influential lobbyist for the California Labor Federation, the umbrella group for unions including the UAW. “If we’re going to put taxpayer money into it, then we’d sure better be getting something out of it for jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union also is trying to maintain its role as the auto industry makes big bets on electric vehicles. Just this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/business/energy-environment/volvo-hybrid-electric-car.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Volvo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/02/death-of-diesel-begins-as-gm-announces-plans-for-all-electric-future/?utm_term=.89c8dd93f339\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GM\u003c/a> announced plans to phase out conventional engines. The union can also use a win in labor-friendly California after losing an organizing effort at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/05/business/nissan-united-auto-workers-union-mississippi.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nissan plant in Mississippi\u003c/a>, a right-to-work state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the Nummi plant that Tesla took over in Fremont was represented by the union before the joint venture between GM and Toyota closed in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is about Tesla and it isn’t about Tesla,” Wei said. “We had a gas-and-combustion industry that for decades created good middle-class jobs. They’re now being replaced by electric vehicles. This is our new economy, and with major public investment. The question is are we going to allow the auto industry to create and maintain middle class jobs? Or are they going to become the next Walmartization of the economy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento has placed itself at the forefront of cleaning up the environment. Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Democratic lawmakers have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/leaving-europe-brown-says-hes-talked-enough-wants-get-something-done/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pitched California as a model to the world\u003c/a> for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change in direct response to the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has also had a longstanding relationship with labor unions, stepping up the minimum wage and offering access to paid sick and family leave. In recent years, the California Labor Federation has successfully pushed legislation to protect immigrant workers from threats of deportation and expanded authority for the state to go after employers who skirt overtime or minimum-wage laws. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lobbying reports show Tesla spent $189,237 on lobbying in the 3-month cycle during which the bill was debated, compared to $103,351 for the labor federation. But labor’s might comes also from being able to mobilize its members on issues and during elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers who struggled to prioritize the interests of two political allies will have more to soul-searching to do next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638714\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11638714\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-375x563.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker at Tesla. \u003ccite>(Penni Gladstone for CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen.

Musk called the Roadster \"the fastest production car ever made, period.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk unveiled \u003ca href=\"https://www.tesla.com/roadster/\">the Roadster\u003c/a> toward the end of an event that was supposed to be all about Tesla's new \u003ca href=\"https://www.tesla.com/semi/\">Semi trucks\u003c/a>. Taking a page from Apple and other tech companies in using showmanship to wow crowds, Musk surprised the crowd by announcing there was one more thing to add — and the new car rolled out of the truck's trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After touting the utility and efficiency of what he called a game-changing truck, Musk welcomed the Roadster to cheers from those attending the event at the Hawthorne Municipal Airport near Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both vehicles are fast: The Roadster can take itself from zero to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, and the Semi can perform the same feat in five seconds (unburdened by a trailer), Tesla says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Touting the sports car's speed, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Tesla/status/931409569640677376\">Tesla tweeted\u003c/a>, \"Going into plaid\" — a reference to a hyperspace joke from the movie \u003cem>Spaceballs\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Tesla/status/931409569640677376\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From there, the specs diverge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truck has a 500-mile range on one charge even if it's fully loaded at a gross vehicle weight of 80,000 pounds.

Its top speed is \"above 250 mph,\" Musk said.

Reservations for both vehicles can be made with an initial deposit of $5,000 — but in the case of the Roadster, a total of at least $50,000 is due within 10 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his presentation, Musk said the cost of operating an electric tractor-trailer would be $1.26 per mile, compared with $1.51 per mile in a diesel truck. The figure assumes a diesel price of $2.50 a gallon versus 7 cents/kWh for electricity and a maximum load traveling at an average speed of 60 mph. The company says that will translate into thousands of dollars in savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Electric motors have advantages for hauling: fewer moving parts, cheap fuel and zero tailpipe pollution,\" NPR's Emily Sullivan reports. \"But charging can be a challenge and Tesla big rigs will cost far more than diesel trucks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing the truck, Musk also said its windshield is made of \"thermonuclear explosion-proof glass\" — a feature he says will help truckers stay on the road. Regulations require commercial trucks to be sidelined if their windshields are cracked in a way that could affect the driver's view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also unique to the Semi is the driver's seating position.

The anemic number fell far short of expectations; the company had received 140,000 advance orders for the car within hours of it being announced in the spring of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those setbacks didn't do much to dampen the hype surrounding Thursday's unveiling — and it gained more energy as the Roadster, which from 2008 to 2012 was Tesla's star vehicle, returned to the lineup. In what has become something of a pattern in recent years, Musk has unveiled ambitious and even visionary new plans for Tesla, as the company copes with putting those ideas into effect — and cars on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Andrew J.

The project would have the capacity to generate 144 megawatts of wind power, or enough electricity to power 80,000 homes, according to Deepwater Wind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved by the state, the wind farm would begin operating in 2023. It is expected to be built next to another wind farm proposed by Deepwater Wind called the South Fork Wind Project.

The expansion and scalability of renewables depends in part on new ways to store wind and solar power, which today can only be used when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining.

The project would have the capacity to generate 144 megawatts of wind power, or enough electricity to power 80,000 homes, according to Deepwater Wind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved by the state, the wind farm would begin operating in 2023. It is expected to be built next to another wind farm proposed by Deepwater Wind called the South Fork Wind Project. That project would serve Long Island, N.Y.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The companies proposed Revolution Wind as part of \u003ca href=\"https://macleanenergy.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/83d-rfp-and-appendices-final.pdf\">a call in Massachusetts\u003c/a> for new sources of renewable energy across the state. The state hopes to generate more clean energy to meet its climate goals by cutting the state’s greenhouse gas emissions. Electric power plants running on coal and natural gas have historically been America’s largest source of carbon pollution contributing to climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">This is the first time Tesla will use its batteries to store wind power.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Revolution Wind brings together two new industries in the U.S. — offshore wind and \u003ca href=\"http://www.climatecentral.org/news/states-batteries-cut-carbon-21573\">electricity storage\u003c/a>. The expansion and scalability of renewables depends in part on new ways to store wind and solar power, which today can only be used when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining. Big batteries are seen as a solution to that problem because they allow renewable energy to be used whenever it’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Today he fixes blemishes and dings on cars before they get painted and shipped out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's literally like running a marathon for 12 hours a day nonstop,\" Galescu said.
