Tesla had been wooed as a NUMMI tenant by politicians and economic development people .. But Tesla - which has all of about 550 employees and plans to ramp up to around 2,000 when it starts building its next vehicle in 2012, the Model S electric sedan - took a look at the costs involved and rejected the idea out of hand. The plant, said Straubel, is about 10 times the size of a facility Tesla would need to build even 20,000 cars a year.
