From the Los Angeles Times...Tesla is partnering with Toyota to build electric cars near Oakland. The plant was formally a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. Known as NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing Inc) the plant was closed in April after making nearly 8M Toyota Corolla's. Upon closure 5K UAW members were laid off. The new plant will provide 1K new jobs.
Note the city of Downey, CA was extremely upset by the announcement as they were under the impression Tesla was signing an agreement today to put the plant in their fair city.
