Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - The Tesla facility, and New York's involvement in the project, are once again under the microscope.

An expose in Vanity Fair, titled "How Elon Musk Fooled Investors, Bilked Taxpayers, and Gambled Tesla to Save SolarCity" put a national spotlight on the Tesla/SolarCity project in Buffalo, and the secrecy and struggles surrounding it.

The Article was written by Bethany McLean, best known for her work on exposing ENRON and co-authoring the story behind that company, "The Smartest Guys in the Room."
