Tesla to build new electric sedan in Bay Area
30 June 2008, San Francisco Chronicles
Tesla Motors, the maker of electric-powered roadsters, announced today that
it has chosen the Bay Area to build a manufacturing plant for its new model,
an electric sedan that is expected to go into production in two years.
But the firm instead chose California because it offered a pair of its own
financial incentives: a sales tax exemption on the purchase of manufacturing
equipment and grants for training its new employees, state officials said.
1000 customers - many of whom have put down $100,000 - are still waiting for their Tesla Roadsters
