I have 'mixed feelings' about this.
Yes, a classic case of 'Corporate welfare'. Economically makes no sense for Nevada. They got ripped off, unless the [[NV) governor is smarter than we think. Maybe some day Tesla electric cars will be built in Nevada???
That said, the 'public policy' [[big picture, macro) is that it will encourage development/manufacturing of the much, much needed batteries which, as described in this thread, are necessary for solar [[and electric cars) to take off.
So: Musk robs Nevada blind but the other 49 states are big winners [[or something like that) as they reap the fruits of Tesla's battery development/manufacturing efforts in NV. As widely discussed, cheap/high capacity batteries will drive this industry [[along with more efficient solar cells).
