The Bay area of California is simply rich with brilliant engineers and programmers.

Very few of which know jack about electric motors, motor controls, or cars in general. They know computers, software, and maybe communications.

Ha! I guess you think you will find more people in Georgia or Alabama who can design these systems? LOL

Not necessarily so. I believe the current Tesla plant was purchased from Toyota (former Nuumi plant), and they took on some former employees from the joint Toyota/GM car-building operations when it collapsed after GM abandoned it. Also, Silicon Valley is a hotbed of robotics research, that involves electric motor and control design.
