I disagree, there are already quite a few manufacturing facilities in the bay area. They don't grab the headlines but when you drive through the industrial parts of town they are all there.
There is the Tesla plant (fairly high volume), there are three glass/window factories in Oakland (fairly high volume), probably a dozen printed circuit board houses of various volumes, a number of tool and die shops around south SF and Berkeley and elsewhere, at least two sheet metal fabrication plants in south San Jose. Intuitive Surgical has a surgical robot factory in Sunnyvale I believe.
Nothing like a Foxconn "city factory", that is pretty clear. There is however the Gigafactory which is outside of Reno (to your point of being easy to get to).
There is a lot of activity though.
