We would like to inform TMC members about a great conference taking place this May. Please see the following details:
The 2016 World Energy Innovation Forum (WEIF) will be held at the Tesla Motors manufacturing facility on May 4-5, 2016 in Fremont, California.
The 2016 WEIF brings together the "who's-who" of the energy innovation sector, including leading investors, Fortune 500 executives, technologists, policy-makers and entrepreneurs for two days of high-level presentations, conversations, and networking. This year's event will take place at Tesla's 5.5 million square foot Bay Area manufacturing facility, which produces the critically acclaimed Model S sedan and the newly released Model X and is regarded as a leading epicenter of cleantech innovation. Attendees will get a much coveted look at Tesla's award-winning facility as part of a special VIP tour of the manufacturing floor, as well as a chance to test drive a Tesla.
The WEIF will feature many key leaders in the energy innovation sector, all of whom will take to the podium to address the pivotal energy issues and opportunities of our time.
The WEIF's world-class speaker lineup will include, among many others:
The WEIF founders are pleased to be able to offer Tesla Motors Club members a discount off the regular registration rate for a limited time. Register online with the discount code TMC1000 before March 31 to receive a 40% discount off the general registration rate.

[/td] In May of 2010, Tesla purchased the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California from New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. By combining top Silicon Valley engineering talent with the best automotive talent within a proven manufacturing facility, Tesla's goal is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable transportation by building a full line of increasingly affordable electric vehicles.
The Tesla Factory has returned thousands of jobs to the area and is capable of producing 1,000 cars a week. Production of the Model S began in mid-2012. Tesla launched its crossover vehicle, the Model X, in September.
