- mortenjorck 16y agoThe story of NUMMI is an amazing one. This American Life dedicated an entire show to its unique history several weeks ago: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/403/nummi http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/403/n... It's a full hour, but it goes by fast. By the end of it you'll probably be as excited as I am by today's news.
- david_adams 16y agoThat This American Life episode was the first thing I thought about when I read this news. I heartily second the recommendation that everybody listen to it. It made me very happy that the NUMMI plant was going to get a new lease on life. I hope Tesla makes it.
- joshu 16y agoI hope they reopen the tours at NUMMI.
- piguy314 16y agoMakes more sense to remodel and reuse an existing manufacturing facility instead of building a new one. Tesla and Toyota have both been innovators in the electric car market, hopefully they can bring the price down a little bit once they get the production line operating.
