I guess it depends on the price GM is asking for. The problem is that this news item itself increased the selling price probably significantly, as it's harder for Elon to say no to buying.
- geomark 8y agoMaybe he could leverage it the other way. He could say that Tesla is willing to save the factory but the evil GM, who previously saw no value in the factory and was going to close it, now wants an outrageous price. Tesla should be able to get it for a fire sale price.

- DKnoll 8y agoI don't think GM would take that risk. They would draw the ire of the largest private-sector union in Canada and also the provincial and federal governments. They have 2 factories in Canada that don't have closures announced and sell cars here so they can't have a PR disaster like that.
