Ideal occupants: How about Tesla Motors Inc. moving into the space soon to be vacated by GM at the Nummi plant in Fremont? Think of the convenience, the money saved, not to mention its suitability as a metaphor for America's changing auto industry. And to Bay Area loyalists, it sure beats Southern California, where Tesla is currently planning to build a plant from scratch.
Given its size and structure, Nummi might not be the ideal fit, said Tesla spokeswoman Rachel Konrad, who has "heard from virtually every real estate developer in the state" since Tesla got $465 million in government money, much of which will go toward a manufacturing plant for its all-electric sedan.
She promises to call us if she hears from the folks at Nummi.
