Tesla:
Could one really start an article about car manufacturing anywhere else? The story of Tesla is among the most dramatic rises we’ve seen anywhere since, well Ford. Tesla is located in San Jose, California which is odd in itself. When’s the last time we had a major American car maker based outside of the MidWest, it has frankly never happened. Tesla’s also unique in that they make the cars completely on American soil, assembling the final product in the San Francisco Bay Area within miles of their corporate headquarters. The brand has been so successful that it seems almost passé to note that the cars are 100% plug in electric’s and that a recent test by Car and Driver Magazine, ranked their high end sports car the best car they’ve ever test. Ever. For a region like the Bay Area, having America’s biggest car manufacturer as well as the assorted social media and technology companies as well, simply seems like an embarrassment of riches.
