But South Australia won and it's closest equatorial point is 26 degrees south, a similar distance to the equator as Cape Canaveral's 28 degrees north. Having driven through outback South Australia I can personally attest to how remote and rugged a lot of that area is. It isn't ideal for launching rockets because it is a long way to transport equipment and for folks working out there it is boring and a long way to travel back to family/friends.

I cannot prove it but there seems little logic to them having revenue issues. Their production rate continues to grow month on month, so each month they have more customers taking deliveries than the last and hence more revenue coming in. At the same time their cost of production set up must be slowing, I say this because surely their main costs are in building production lines and they are now well established, yes there are tweaks i.e. changing robots in the cell packing but compared to the numerous other steps in producing a car these are just tweaks to fix bottlenecks. Also they reportedly are still receiving more paid reservation than they can produce so again they will be bring in additional revenue there month on month.

I would think they could be charged with disturbing the peace, even if they don't say anything. I would think that any right thinking Judge would realize this is not a freedom of speech issue but a deliberately protagonist group. They themselves have publicly stated many times that they like to upset people.
