Tesla's Roadrunner Project Targets Round-the-Clock Battery Production
After a showdown with local officials in which Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) refused to comply with a stay-at-home order, the relationship between the electric vehicle (EV) automaker and Fremont, California (the home of the company's automotive plant), may seem strained. Documents recently filed with the city government, however, suggest otherwise. According to the filing, Tesla plans to build a battery research and manufacturing facility in the northern California city.
Of the 470 employees that will staff the facility, 400 will "work in shifts, such that there are 100 employees working at manufacturing and production operations at any given time, all day, every day," the filing indicates. The company estimates that construction of the project, code-named Roadrunner, is expected to take about three months.
