But not the last.....

IMO....Tesla will soon be making a Canadian gigafactory announcement...Bet on it... I think we can all see that coming. The overwhelming need to open the Ring of Fire is becoming more apparent with each announcement where nickel will be needed. As has been said by many experts, "There is just not enough to go around right now". Those who believe that both the Sudbury Basin and Voisey can handle the demand are, IMO, mistaken. I believe that even they are wondering how they are going to keep up, as they go deeper and deeper to satisfy nickel contacts. Especially those contracts that exceed future quotas and in the same token have  already been promised to longstanding foreign clients who already setup lengthy supply agreements to cover them for years. Logically, to keep themselves way ahead of any impending deficits that have been forecasted.

As CEO Trent Mall of First Cobalt had said he is expecting billions upon billions to be promised this year, and next, by both private and government entities in anticipation for the huge transition to happen in the EV and battery metals space here in Canada. Specifically here in Ontario. All this talk is finally coming to a head, and we can see that plans are unfolding, or have already been completed without the public even knowing...There will only be more announcements coming. Each more stronger and determined to see the Ring of Fire opened, and can be used as ammunition for us retail shareholders to use against BHP and Wyloo to fight for a fair deal. They cannot try to blindside us here with lies, because the truth is all around us. Simply put...You need us...BADLY...To get to Noront and the Ring. Please don't try to pull one over on us, because the time to do that has long pasted. As you can see we are well informed, and undivided in our resolve. Treating us as if we our stupid only makes you look stupid...

Quote from Forrest....Forrest Gump that is, but I am sure our here Andrew would agree:

"Stupid is as stupid does"... Enough said...

Tesla opening new manufacturing facility in Markham, Ontario [Update]

Mayor Frank Scarpitti has announced that Tesla is expanding their presence in Canada and will be opening a manufacturing facility in Markham, Ontario.

The announcement was first made in a July 2021 edition of the “Mayor’s Review” posted to the city’s website. In it, Mayor Scarpitti says the new facility will be the first “Tesla branded manufacturing facility” in the country.

According to the mayor, who reposted the announcement to his Twitter and Instragram accounts today, the new facility will produce “state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment” that will be used to produce batteries at the company’s Gigafactories.

Details are scarce about the new facility, but on Twitter the mayor said it will be located in an industrial area South of Hwy 7 and west of Warden.

Tesla already has a facility in this area at 95 Clegg Rd, which has office space and a large warehouse area at the rear of the building.

UPDATE November 5, 4:55pm PST: Mayor Scarpitti has now confirmed Tesla’s new facility is already up and running.

The mayor’s announcement comes just a few days after Tesla published a new video on LinkedIn, highlighting their R&D, Charging, and Manufacturing teams.

The caption that went along with the video was “Come join our growing team in Markham.” In a review of Tesla’s Careers website, there are currently no job postings for any positions in Markham.

This is a developing story, keep checking back for updates…
