    AS far as Tesla's concerned, what's happening in Las Vegas can stay in Las Vegas. The real action is some 644 dusty kilometres north-west, across the state in Reno.

    The electric-car maker is seizing on the consumer electronics show to host investors and analysts at Gigafactory 1, the sprawling Nevada plant where it makes batteries and energy storage packs. Tesla Motors Inc's invitation-only "investor event" will take place Jan 4, as the tech and automotive industries swarm into Las Vegas for CES 2017. Though self-driving technology will be in the spotlight this year at CES, Tesla typically skips large industry trade shows, preferring to announce products separate from the pack.
