The Giants are kicking some Texas butt and Tesla is starting its Model S assembly line. Magic is happening in California.
I just received an email from Tesla announcing the good news. Here is what their emails says “Tesla took possession of the Nummi automotive plant in Fremont, California earlier this month and opened the doors to employee tours on Wednesday. In the months since Tesla announced the purchase, negotiations with Nummi have enabled the repurposing of a complete paint shop, four mechanical press lines, a blanking line (used to cut sheets of aluminum before stamping), and a crane for use in the Model S production process. The purchased machinery will simply be retooled and tested before use. The Hydraulic Press Line has started to arrive; 50 trucks are en route to transport the entire line to Fremont. “
Below is the layout of their factory… pretty cool. Does anyone know if they offer tours?
