..... an old U.S. Navy facility near San Francisco... Moffett Federal Airfield? The old Moffett field? The blimp hangars?
Have they consulted the Google brothers?

Ya, but what about the carbon footprint of this place? Will liberals allow it?

The pollutants left behind manufacturing will never be allowed to be disposed of in Cali so why build there?
To: SeekAndFind
The recent rumor is that its almost certainly in Nevada. They’ve started breaking ground there already. Nevada plant is close to their CA plant and lithium mines. Right to Work and low taxes and regulation. They likely put the other sites in other states on the back burner for future expansion if needed

But what fish, bird, bug, plant or Native American religious site will be irreparably harmed? The EPA will surely find a way to get their two cents worth in.

crony capitalism, the policy of failed states where everyone is punished but the favored few.

So why don’t they just use their previous plant?

The TSLA manufacturing plant is already in California. So is Space X and Solar City.
To: Grams A
Tesla manufactures the Model S in Fremont, California, in an assembly plant formerly operated by NUMMI, a defunct joint venture of Toyota and General Motors, now called Tesla Factory. Tesla purchased a stake in the site in May 2010 for US$42 million, and opened the facility in October 2010.
The fact that they are considering sites in OTHER STATES just shows you how prohibitive manufacturing in California has become.

He must Love paying taxes to irresponsible wastrels.
California was once a pretty nice place to live, I was born there.
Not now, and maybe not ever again.
At some point the California legislature will take everything he has for the good of the ‘people’............................

$85K for a car that,with a stiff tailwind,might be able to go 200 miles on a charge and then must stop for hours for another charge? Gimme a break.For much less than half that I have a diesel that can go 700 miles (at 70mph) between “charges” and then can stop at any one of 30,000 “recharging” stations for a 5 minute “recharge”.Then I'm off for another 700 miles.
To: Red Badger
If it happens, it will be a crony capitalist deal on the most favorable terms imaginable.
Tesla wouldn’t even exist without the phony electric car credits mandated by California.
Manufacturers that don’t sell electric cars pay Musk for the privilege to sell regular cars in Cali.
