The tent and other new buildings are part of CEO Elon Musk’s push to boost production. Permits do not reveal how much Tesla spent on its new tent facility. For the past two weeks, Tesla fans and foes alike have obsessed over a tent. Struggling to ramp up production of its critical Model 3 electric sedan, Tesla put up a cavernous tent behind its Fremont factory to house a new production line.

Marriott said it had “longstanding and productive relationships” with the union. People have drinks in the View Lounge at the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco in 2015.

The hydrogen fuel cells used to power buildings and a few eco-conscious cars spew no exhaust other than water. To Joseph Pratt, that sounds like an ideal way to run a boat. Pratt is co-founder of an Alameda startup developing a prototype ferry powered by fuel cells, the same technology inside the Honda Clarity sedan and the Toyota Mirai. It will be, Pratt says, the first such boat in the United States.

With three major housing complexes opening at once, including the Avalon apartments, the population of the neighborhood is set to nearly double in the next few months, bringing vitality to the streets but raising questions about whether the newcomers will create traffic gridlock, overcrowd buses and overrun open spaces.
