Tesla Chronicles: We Told You So Edition...UPDATED AT 8:46 PM

The rest of the world is catching up to Watch Dog...slowly...

You'll remember the full complement of Watch Dog's Tesla Chronicles previously posted on this site here, here, here, here, and here. And finally, on January 15th, Watch Dog broke the story that Tesla would not be coming to San Jose.

Well, it officially hit the old-school news outlets today. The SiliconValley/San Jose Business Journal, the Merc., and KCBS are reporting on the "news" that Tesla may not be able to move to San Jose. I guess the Business Journal, the Merc., and KCBS should check us out more often to see what is really happening...

Sorry Chuck (Reed). Sorry Harry (Mavrogenes). Sorry Paul (Krutko). This one isn't your fault...

UPDATE:

Two tidbits by way of update...
1. In an updated story from the mercurynews.com, a Tesla spokeswoman said that Tesla "...has not abandoned San Jose..." It seems that Tesla is responding directly to a previous Watch Dog post titled: Tesla Chronicles: Tesla Plans "Abandoned" in San Jose

2. The Mayor's spokesperson, Michelle McGurk, says that the the City is scurrying to find other sites for Tesla in San Jose. If Ms. McGurk had just read Watch Dog earlier, she would have known the Tesla deal was in trouble and the City wouldn't have to scurry so much...

You may be right that the Biz Journal, Merc and KCBS all missed the Tesla story, but KLIV had the story December 15th of last year.
