This tour received rave reviews last year and is back by popular demand! Nueva parent and Tesla Motors VP of Finance Michael Taylor will personally lead 10 lucky car enthusiasts through Fremont's five-million-square-foot Tesla factory for a behind-the-scenes tour that contrast the 60-year-old NUMMI manufacturing process with Tesla's new, highly flexible procedure. After the tour, you'll have a chance to check out and test-drive the coveted Model S (sedan). Here’s a testimonial from Steve Jeffords who attended last year’s tour:

“Mike's Tesla Tour is not to be missed! For a gearhead, it's like you've died and gone to heaven. Imagine actually watching a 10-ton injection molding machine squishing out whole auto dashes before your eyes.  Or seeing the largest metal press west of the Mississippi stamping out an entire car chassis in one blow? Don't forget getting to ride in a little red tram through a working factory floor, while serenaded with the dulcet tones of our very own Tesla expert.  Am I overselling it a bit? Not on your life! I was so impressed during the test drive (did I forget to mention the test drive?) that I would have gladly given them the keys to my sports car if they would have let me drive a Tesla home (alas, there is a waiting list)...and that's the first time I've said that about ANY car I've driven in the last five years! Sign up for this tour...you won't regret it!”
