Tesla Motors and Toyota to Build Cars at former NUMMI Plant

In a surprising turn of events, Tesla Motors announced that they would be teaming with Toyota to produce electric cars at the recently shuttered NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing Inc.) facility in Fremont, California.

A convergence of events appears to have presented an ideal situation for both workers and employers: auto workers who lost their jobs when the joint General Motors - Toyota venture locked their gates in April, 2010 will provide Tesla with a pool of highly skilled and eager to get back to work employees. In addition, future development of Tesla's electric vehicle can draw upon the expertise of the built-in engineering and technological force present in Silicon Valley -- many of whom are likewise seeking employment.

The Tesla Model S Sedan, with an anticipated base price of $49,000 that includes a federal tax credit, will be the initial electric automobile to roll off the production line [Model S Video]. The facility, which will utilize the Toyota Production System Toyota Production System Book is capable of manufacturing half a million cars per year.

While the 1000 expected to be hired when the Tesla Factory [New Sign] comes into operation in 2012 will not totally make up for the 4700 jobs that were lost at NUMMI during the recession, it certainly paints a bright spot on the horizon. "In a great big hurry, our fortunes have changed" said Fremont Mayor, Bob Wasserman. "This is a great day for Fremont, the beginning of a new industry and a new chapter in our history".
