| Is Tesla Headed to Detroit |

Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm is trying to get Tesla Motors to
build its new manufacturing facility in Michigan rather than in one of
the previously announced frontrunner states: Arizona, North Carolina or
California.
Tesla is already "on the verge of establishing a new
engineering center" in the Detroit area, but the governor made
a strong pitch for Tesla to build it's electric roadster, as well as a
planned forthcoming sedan, in Michigan. "Tesla's U.S. manufacturing plant
and the Rochester Hills engineering center would be focused chiefly on the
company's next-generation electric vehicle, a sedan that Eberhard hopes
will cost around $50,000 and sell about 10 times the volume of the
roadster."
