What factory produces Tesla cars at the former NUMMI site in California?

Tesla cars are produced at the Fremont Factory in California, located at the former NUMMI site.

The facility in Fremont was previously operated as New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc., or NUMMI, a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. NUMMI closed in 2010, and Tesla purchased the factory that same year. Tesla used the site to begin producing the Model S and later expanded production to additional models.

The Fremont Factory is significant because it gave Tesla a large established automotive manufacturing site in the United States. The company reconfigured the plant for electric-vehicle production, including battery-pack assembly, vehicle assembly, and other manufacturing operations.

The facility is often called Tesla Factory or Tesla Fremont. It should not be confused with Tesla’s Gigafactories in Nevada, Texas, Shanghai, or Berlin, which perform different combinations of vehicle, battery, and component production.
