The $528.7-million low-interest loan “is another critical step in making sure we are positioned to compete for the clean-energy jobs of the future,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said.

Tesla, based in San Carlos, Calif., was awarded $465 million in Energy Department loans in June, primarily to build its second all-electric car, a sub-$50,000 sedan, in California.

That’s just a hair under one billion dollars.

WTFF?
