Nevada offers Tesla up to $1.3B for battery plant

8. It could be a half-trillion dollar industry

but if Tesla's continue to sell at 70-100k, you're going to have to sell more than a million of them over the next 20 years just to generate $100 billion it gross sales, and will all that money really make it's way back into the Nevada economy, especially given that the factory is making only the battery packs, not the entire car.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the industry that big, but I'm skeptical how much of it makes it's way back into Nevada's coffers.
