Some of that is a bit of a stretch to call them automotive manufacturing facilities.

I think Tesla is doing well in the short-term, but long term they are going to significantly level out, possibly even fall. There are only so many Tesla fanbois to sell to. I know my HR Director won't be recommending Tesla to anyone, she just finally got hers back over the weekend, and all she does now is talk about how she's worried it is going to brick again. Rivian has the chance to catch up here not only by accelerating their own production, but also by GM, Ford, and a whole lotta Hyundai/Kia biting into Tesla growth.

“Plants” autocorrect, not “paints”.

It astounds me that the pro-Musk folks tout all these “positives” while ignoring the many negatives and potential pitfalls facing Tesla (potential mass layoffs, routinely at the bottom of every reliability and quality study and survey, and his stupid Twitter feud for starters, all of which will jeopardize any future success). Just wash, rinse, repeat with the same “but Tesla/Musk are (insert random superlative)” nonsense.

I wouldn't say decades.. .plural. They're already getting ready to start building a second plant.

Agreed. A lot of junk ones out there these days.

PNW has their fair share of gang bang wanna bee's, Ricer Bangers and just about all kinds of gang bang ethnicity peeps driving trashed versions of those cars. Yes, very rare do you find them in nice condition and when you do you can admire them for the niche they played and filled in the auto industry. A shame more are not taken care of, but then we all know how expensive autos these days are.

Yep. It went in two parcels—-like 27 acres with the house and buildings and 98 acres or so for the rest of the land. Exceeded the estimates.
