"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Tesla is now accepting deposits for its new solar roof system, offering an \"infinity\" warranty for tiles that integrate solar power into roof coverings. Installations will begin in June, the company says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resembling normal roofing shingles, the solar tiles will be offered in a variety of styles, from slate and terra cotta to smooth or textured dark gray. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tesla.com/solarroof\">On its website\u003c/a>, Tesla is taking $1,000 deposits toward work that includes removing a house's existing roof, installing the solar tiles and equipping the home with a battery to store power.\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potential customers can use the company's online tool to estimate the solar roof's costs and savings, based on their roof's square footage. The results, which draw on Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/get/sunroof\">Project Sunroof\u003c/a>, vary according to energy costs and other factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The solar roof tiles are made of quartz glass. But not all tiles on a house with the system will be actively gathering the sun's energy. Tesla's plan calls for mixing solar and nonsolar tiles. From the street, the company says, the two look identical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a two-story house in Raleigh, N.C., with 2,467 square feet — the median size of a new, single-family home in the U.S., according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/construction/chars/pdf/c25ann2015.pdf\">recent Census Bureau data\u003c/a> — the upfront cost of replacing a roof with the solar tile system comes to $46,400, according to Tesla's online tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal tax credit drops that amount by nearly $14,000, but Tesla's Powerwall battery adds a $7,000 expense. With 60 percent solar coverage on the roof, the system would generate $38,100 worth of energy over 30 years, according to the estimate, leaving the homeowner with a net cost of $1,400. Depending on the local energy market, a similar home in another area could generate a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"infinity\" warranty covers the glass in the tiles, Tesla says. The company offers a 30-year warranty for other aspects of the system, such as the tiles' power output and the system's ability to prevent leaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price per square foot varies with the proportion of solar and nonsolar tiles. Tesla says active tiles will cost $42 per square foot, while inert tiles will be around $11 per square foot. The active tiles have three main layers, with a base solar cell beneath a colored louver film that's covered by tempered glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A standard solar panel setup could cost about 30 percent less than the Tesla system, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-10/tesla-s-solar-roof-is-finally-ready-for-you-to-buy\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a>. But the news outlet also says Tesla is bringing its aesthetically appealing tiles to market at a price that's well beneath earlier expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla says its SolarCity subsidiary will begin installing the first systems in California in June and will then spread to other areas. For 2017, the solar tiles will be installed only in the U.S., the company says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The results, which draw on Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/get/sunroof\">Project Sunroof\u003c/a>, vary according to energy costs and other factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The solar roof tiles are made of quartz glass. But not all tiles on a house with the system will be actively gathering the sun's energy. Tesla's plan calls for mixing solar and nonsolar tiles. From the street, the company says, the two look identical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a two-story house in Raleigh, N.C., with 2,467 square feet — the median size of a new, single-family home in the U.S., according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/construction/chars/pdf/c25ann2015.pdf\">recent Census Bureau data\u003c/a> — the upfront cost of replacing a roof with the solar tile system comes to $46,400, according to Tesla's online tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With 60 percent solar coverage on the roof, the system would generate $38,100 worth of energy over 30 years, according to the estimate, leaving the homeowner with a net cost of $1,400. Depending on the local energy market, a similar home in another area could generate a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"infinity\" warranty covers the glass in the tiles, Tesla says. The company offers a 30-year warranty for other aspects of the system, such as the tiles' power output and the system's ability to prevent leaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price per square foot varies with the proportion of solar and nonsolar tiles. Tesla says active tiles will cost $42 per square foot, while inert tiles will be around $11 per square foot. The active tiles have three main layers, with a base solar cell beneath a colored louver film that's covered by tempered glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A standard solar panel setup could cost about 30 percent less than the Tesla system, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-10/tesla-s-solar-roof-is-finally-ready-for-you-to-buy\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a>.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>DETROIT — Federal safety investigators are asking electric car maker Tesla Motors for details on how its Autopilot system works and why it failed to detect a tractor-trailer that crossed its path in a Florida crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in a letter to Tesla posted Tuesday, also requests data on all crashes that happened because its system did not work as expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency is investigating the May 7 crash in Williston, Florida, that killed 40-year-old Joshua Brown, of Canton, Ohio. Tesla says the cameras on his Model S sedan failed to distinguish the white side of a turning tractor-trailer from a brightly lit sky and didn't automatically brake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Tesla has also said that data recovered from the vehicle indicate its driver, Joshua Brown, failed to brake or use other controls before the collision. The truck driver involved in the crash \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/01/tesla-driver-killed-autopilot-self-driving-car-harry-potter\" target=\"_blank\">told the AP afterward\u003c/a> that after the crash, a movie could be heard playing in Brown's Tesla.]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traffic safety administration's letter gives Tesla until Aug. 26 to fully comply with its request. The company faces penalties of up to $21,000 per day, to a maximum of $105 million if it doesn't comply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the agency called the problem with Tesla's Autopilot system an \"alleged defect,\" a spokesman said in a statement that it hasn't determined if a safety defect exists. The information request is a routine step in an investigation into the crash, spokesman Bryan Thomas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation could have broad implications for the auto industry and its steps toward self-driving cars. If the NHTSA probe finds defects with Tesla's system, the agency could seek a recall. Other automakers have or are developing similar systems that may need to be changed as a result of the probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla's system uses cameras, radar and computers to detect objects and automatically brake its vehicles if they're about to hit something. It also can steer the car to keep it centered in its lane. The company says that before Autopilot can be used, drivers have to acknowledge that the system is an \"assist feature\" that requires a driver to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. Drivers are told they need to \"maintain control and responsibility for your vehicle\" while using the system, and they must be prepared to take over at any time, Tesla has said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, which was dated July 8, NHTSA also asked Tesla for results of its own investigation into the May 7 crash, and for all consumer complaints, field reports from dealers, reports of crashes, lawsuits and all data logs and images from problems with the Autopilot system.

Tesla says the cameras on his Model S sedan failed to distinguish the white side of a turning tractor-trailer from a brightly lit sky and didn't automatically brake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Tesla has also said that data recovered from the vehicle indicate its driver, Joshua Brown, failed to brake or use other controls before the collision. The truck driver involved in the crash \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/01/tesla-driver-killed-autopilot-self-driving-car-harry-potter\" target=\"_blank\">told the AP afterward\u003c/a> that after the crash, a movie could be heard playing in Brown's Tesla.]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traffic safety administration's letter gives Tesla until Aug. 26 to fully comply with its request. The company faces penalties of up to $21,000 per day, to a maximum of $105 million if it doesn't comply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The information request is a routine step in an investigation into the crash, spokesman Bryan Thomas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation could have broad implications for the auto industry and its steps toward self-driving cars. If the NHTSA probe finds defects with Tesla's system, the agency could seek a recall. Other automakers have or are developing similar systems that may need to be changed as a result of the probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla's system uses cameras, radar and computers to detect objects and automatically brake its vehicles if they're about to hit something. It also can steer the car to keep it centered in its lane. The company says that before Autopilot can be used, drivers have to acknowledge that the system is an \"assist feature\" that requires a driver to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. Drivers are told they need to \"maintain control and responsibility for your vehicle\" while using the system, and they must be prepared to take over at any time, Tesla has said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, which was dated July 8, NHTSA also asked Tesla for results of its own investigation into the May 7 crash, and for all consumer complaints, field reports from dealers, reports of crashes, lawsuits and all data logs and images from problems with the Autopilot system. It also seeks details on any modification to the Autopilot system that Tesla has made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Describe all assessments, analyses, tests, test results, studies, surveys, simulations, reconstructions, investigations, inquiries and or evaluations that relate to or may relate to the alleged defect,\" the letter says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators also want to know how the system recognizes objects and decides whether they are crossing the path of a Tesla.

Nonetheless, when used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety when compared to purely manual driving.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Google instead is focusing on creating a fully autonomous car, all at once, and isn't selling any of them. That means it's lagging behind Tesla on driven miles, but they don't involve regular drivers. (Tesla \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">says\u003c/a> Autopilot has been activated for more than 130 million miles, while Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/where/\" target=\"_blank\">website says\u003c/a> its self-driving cars have driven 1.5 million miles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technologically, the approaches differ, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google relies on a highly expensive complex remote-sensing system called Lidar, which \u003ca href=\"http://9to5google.com/2015/10/16/elon-musk-says-that-the-lidar-google-uses-in-its-self-driving-car-doesnt-make-sense-in-a-car-context/\" target=\"_blank\">the website 9to5google.com explains\u003c/a> as an \"array on top of the vehicle, which — in simple terms — measures distance by pointing lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that's reflected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk late last year suggested \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/73_Qjez1MbI?t=35m32s\" target=\"_blank\">in a press conference\u003c/a> that Lidar was a bit excessive for an automobile:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For full autonomy you'd obviously need 360-degree cameras, you'd need probably redundant forward cameras, you'd need redundant computing hardware, and then redundant motors and a steering rack. ... That said, I don't think you need Lidar. I think you can do this all with passive optical and then with maybe one forward radar.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tesla's Autopilot relies on a combination of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/autopilot\" target=\"_blank\">cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors\u003c/a> and data automatically steer down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic,\" and uses auto braking technology by Israeli company Mobileye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/01/mobileye-tesla/\" target=\"_blank\">posted by TechCrunch\u003c/a>, a Mobileye executive said the emergency auto braking was \"designed specifically\" for rear-end collision avoidance, and not a lateral collision like the fatal case revealed this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla drivers, including the man killed in the deadly crash, have posted scores of videos of near-collisions involving Autopilot use. Several \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/05/26/tesla-autopilot-crash/\" target=\"_blank\">have blamed\u003c/a> the company for accidents that did occur, including 1) \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/model-s-on-autopilot-crashes-into-other-car-proving-yet-again-tesla-owners-arent-paying-close-enough/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Europe\u003c/a>, 2) \u003ca href=\"http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/05/another-driver-says-teslas-autopilot-failed-to-brake-tesla-says-otherwise/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in California\u003c/a> and 3) \u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/11/11658226/tesla-model-s-summon-autopilot-crash-letter\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Utah\u003c/a> — in which the Tesla crashed without the driver inside while the car was self-parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla, after reviewing vehicle logs, has attributed those accidents to human error, saying the drivers 1) were inattentive, 2) disabled the automation and 3) misused the Summon feature and didn't heed the vehicle's warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's fully self-driving cars, which mostly ride in city environments as opposed to highways, have so far caused one crash.

Citing unnamed sources, the business publication said the Cupertino-based company has reached an agreement to lease nearly 300,000 square feet in North San Jose. The deal, if confirmed, would mark Apple’s first major entry into San Jose in quite some time. Apple wouldn’t comment on the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is Part 2 of two-part series looking at why San Jose, the third largest city in California, has faced fiscal problems while the tech boom is enriching the Silicon Valley communities around it. Read \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/07/why-san-jose-is-barely-in-the-black-despite-the-tech-boom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Part 1 here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose, the self-described “Capitol of Silicon Valley,” is \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/07/why-san-jose-is-barely-in-the-black-despite-the-tech-boom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">barely in the black\u003c/a> after years of deep deficits and painful cutbacks. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could say San Jose didn’t have the luck to be home to one of the tech firms that blew up in this latest boom, like Google, headquartered in Mountain View, or Facebook, based in Menlo Park. But the longer the boom goes on, the more San Jose finally may be getting a piece of the economic action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”amQD6ZjYu8t2YRGCmpFryBtpOyytyVJQ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/sanjose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whole Foods\u003c/a> in downtown San Jose that opened last December. It’s got its own brewery, and it’s steps away from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sapcenteratsanjose.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAP Center\u003c/a>, a massive arena home to the San Jose Sharks. On warm summer nights, the open-air tap room is packed with people like Oz Rosario and his wife Jaime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They did a tremendous job here,” says Oz Rosario between sips of beer. “It’s just a great ambiance to come and catch some of the city vibe of what’s going on here — the re-gentrification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rosarios came to San Jose two years ago because of his job in tech. He’s in product development at Verizon. They’ve got two kids under three years old. In many ways, they’re exactly the kind of affluent family Whole Foods expected to attract to this store when it signed the lease seven years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rob Twyman, regional president for Whole Foods Northern California, explains the calculation. “We want to be sure it’s a fairly densely populated area: high proportion of college grads proportionately, and that the site itself is strong in terms of its access, visibility and there’s an affinity for natural foods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the US Census, the median household income in San Jose is $81,829. Compare that to $75,604 in San Francisco. But San Jose lags other cities in the region in capitalizing on sales tax revenues. People shop regionally without regard for city borders. So while Whole Foods has stores in nearby small cities — Campbell and Los Gatos, and another coming soon in Santa Clara — San Jose has only two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose officials say this city of a million people serves as a bedroom community for the region. But in order to provide those residents with the city services they require, urban planners say San Jose needs to pull in more retail and corporate development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley tech companies are the city’s natural target.

Citing unnamed sources, the business publication said the Cupertino-based company has reached an agreement to lease nearly 300,000 square feet in North San Jose. The deal, if confirmed, would mark Apple’s first major entry into San Jose in quite some time. Apple wouldn’t comment on the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is Part 2 of two-part series looking at why San Jose, the third largest city in California, has faced fiscal problems while the tech boom is enriching the Silicon Valley communities around it.

Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could say San Jose didn’t have the luck to be home to one of the tech firms that blew up in this latest boom, like Google, headquartered in Mountain View, or Facebook, based in Menlo Park. But the longer the boom goes on, the more San Jose finally may be getting a piece of the economic action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/sanjose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whole Foods\u003c/a> in downtown San Jose that opened last December. It’s got its own brewery, and it’s steps away from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sapcenteratsanjose.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAP Center\u003c/a>, a massive arena home to the San Jose Sharks.

He’s in product development at Verizon. They’ve got two kids under three years old. In many ways, they’re exactly the kind of affluent family Whole Foods expected to attract to this store when it signed the lease seven years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rob Twyman, regional president for Whole Foods Northern California, explains the calculation. “We want to be sure it’s a fairly densely populated area: high proportion of college grads proportionately, and that the site itself is strong in terms of its access, visibility and there’s an affinity for natural foods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the US Census, the median household income in San Jose is $81,829. Compare that to $75,604 in San Francisco. But San Jose lags other cities in the region in capitalizing on sales tax revenues. People shop regionally without regard for city borders. So while Whole Foods has stores in nearby small cities — Campbell and Los Gatos, and another coming soon in Santa Clara — San Jose has only two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose officials say this city of a million people serves as a bedroom community for the region. But in order to provide those residents with the city services they require, urban planners say San Jose needs to pull in more retail and corporate development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley tech companies are the city’s natural target.

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>RENO, Nevada — Tesla Motors has chosen Nevada as the site for a massive $5 billion factory that will pump out batteries for a new generation of less expensive electric cars, a person familiar with the company's plans said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement was made, said work soon will resume at an industrial park outside Reno. Nevada still must approve a package of incentives Tesla negotiated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Separately, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgj.com/story/money/reno-rebirth/2014/09/03/tesla/15028515/\" target=\"_blank\">the Reno Gazette-Journal reports\u003c/a> that Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval confirmed \"that he will make a major economic development announcement on Thursday and that Tesla executives will be in attendance.\" The paper said Sandoval is meeting with leaders of the Nevada Legislature to finalize \"what is expected to be a massive tax incentive package.\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Tesla, based in Palo Alto, California, said company representatives would be at the Capitol in Carson City for the announcement but offered no other details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four other states — California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico — were vying for the project and the estimated 6,500 jobs it will bring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla needs what it calls the \"gigafactory\" to make cheaper batteries for its Model 3, a mass-market electric car the company hopes to sell by 2017 for around $35,000. Currently, Tesla offers only the Model S sedan, which starts at $70,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/07/31/tesla-breaks-ground-on-potential-nevada-site-for-battery-factory/\" target=\"_blank\">has done site-preparation work \u003c/a>at the Reno Tahoe Industrial Center but had not publicly committed to building in Nevada, instead waiting as other states put together their best packages of economic incentives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This spring, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company would take the extremely unusual step of spending millions to prepare sites in two states — or perhaps even three — before choosing a winner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person familiar with Tesla's plans told the Associated Press a second site still will be prepared, in case Nevada is unable to deliver the incentives it has promised — or possibly to build a second factory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has declined to discuss any incentives he has offered during negotiations with Tesla. Based on Musk's public statements of what he expects a winning bid would be worth, the incentive package likely will total at least $500 million. Sandoval would have to call a special session of the state Legislature to approve tax breaks, grants or other incentives of that magnitude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevada's other advantages include low tax rates, plenty of sun and wind to generate \"green\" power, and relative proximity to Tesla's manufacturing plant in the San Francisco Bay Area. The industrial park 15 miles east of Reno also is near a deposit of lithium, an essential element to produce the battery cells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla will pay about half of the factory's cost. The other major investor is Panasonic, which will manufacture the lithium-ion battery cells and invest in equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lance Gilman, principal and director of the Reno Tahoe Industrial Center, said he had not been told of a final decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be the most exciting news of the century to me,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 167 square miles of high desert, the industrial park is the nation's largest — befitting of such a large factory. Tesla has said it would need about 10 million square feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Competition has been intense among the states, which have bid up their incentive packages in private negotiations with Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some politicians in California, the state where Musk founded not just Tesla but PayPal and commercial space exploration firm SpaceX, made winning the gigafactory a point of pride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tesla is a California-born company that the state has invested heavily in, and we want it to succeed,\" Sen. Ted Gaines (R-Roseville) said in a written statement. \"It makes complete sense for it to expand right here, close to its headquarters, yet they are headed out of state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called Tesla's decision a \"clear indictment of our business climate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Gov. Jerry Brown had signaled he would work with Tesla to ease environmental review requirements that would have made building the plant in a few years impossible. Brook Taylor, a spokesman for Brown's economic development agency, said he could not immediately comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JWilliamsAP\" target=\"_blank\">Juliet Williams\u003c/a> in Sacramento contributed to this report.

Currently, Tesla offers only the Model S sedan, which starts at $70,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/07/31/tesla-breaks-ground-on-potential-nevada-site-for-battery-factory/\" target=\"_blank\">has done site-preparation work \u003c/a>at the Reno Tahoe Industrial Center but had not publicly committed to building in Nevada, instead waiting as other states put together their best packages of economic incentives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This spring, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company would take the extremely unusual step of spending millions to prepare sites in two states — or perhaps even three — before choosing a winner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person familiar with Tesla's plans told the Associated Press a second site still will be prepared, in case Nevada is unable to deliver the incentives it has promised — or possibly to build a second factory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has declined to discuss any incentives he has offered during negotiations with Tesla. Based on Musk's public statements of what he expects a winning bid would be worth, the incentive package likely will total at least $500 million. Sandoval would have to call a special session of the state Legislature to approve tax breaks, grants or other incentives of that magnitude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevada's other advantages include low tax rates, plenty of sun and wind to generate \"green\" power, and relative proximity to Tesla's manufacturing plant in the San Francisco Bay Area. The industrial park 15 miles east of Reno also is near a deposit of lithium, an essential element to produce the battery cells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla will pay about half of the factory's cost. The other major investor is Panasonic, which will manufacture the lithium-ion battery cells and invest in equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lance Gilman, principal and director of the Reno Tahoe Industrial Center, said he had not been told of a final decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be the most exciting news of the century to me,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 167 square miles of high desert, the industrial park is the nation's largest — befitting of such a large factory. Tesla has said it would need about 10 million square feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Competition has been intense among the states, which have bid up their incentive packages in private negotiations with Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some politicians in California, the state where Musk founded not just Tesla but PayPal and commercial space exploration firm SpaceX, made winning the gigafactory a point of pride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tesla is a California-born company that the state has invested heavily in, and we want it to succeed,\" Sen. Ted Gaines (R-Roseville) said in a written statement. \"It makes complete sense for it to expand right here, close to its headquarters, yet they are headed out of state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called Tesla's decision a \"clear indictment of our business climate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Gov. Jerry Brown had signaled he would work with Tesla to ease environmental review requirements that would have made building the plant in a few years impossible. Brook Taylor, a spokesman for Brown's economic development agency, said he could not immediately comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JWilliamsAP\" target=\"_blank\">Juliet Williams\u003c/a> in Sacramento contributed to this report.
