Our New Home in San Jose
History was made on September 17th 2008, when from a dusty parcel of vacant land came the announcement that Tesla Motors would construct its new manufacturing facility and corporate campus in San Jose, California. The $250 million facility will be home to the Model S, Tesla’s zero-emission, five-passenger 100% electric luxury sedan. Model S is expected to have a base price of about $60,000 and deliver exceptional performance. The new plant will be able to produce at least 15,000 sedans – up to 30,000 with the addition of a second shift. About half of the production vehicles will be slated for sale in Europe. Tesla has not yet started taking deposits on the Model S, but executives anticipate extremely strong demand in the EU and USA. San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed motored back to City Hall in a Tesla Roadster after the announcement, and was more than impressed. “I haven't experienced acceleration like that since I was in a jet fighter and the pilot hit the afterburner”, said the Mayor.
