I think Fremont’s future is primarily as a pilot line and potentially supplementary capacity. Silicon Valley still has a significant brain power density advantage. A collocated design team for LV initial production trials and new technology validation is an under appreciated strength.Despite the poor location and constraints Freemont is a huge asset and Tesla literally could not have gotten here without Freemont. We'd be years behind.
And no, I don’t live there. Did for a very brief stint, but came screaming back to SoCal within a year. Just personal biases and/or preferences.
