Tesla Inc., which has leveraged a single assembly plant to become one of the world’s highest-valued automakers, has another one coming.
The electric-car maker’s factory in Fremont, California, is “bursting at the seams” making Model S sedans, Model X crossovers and preparing for the upcoming Model 3 car, Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk told shareholders Tuesday. Tesla is deciding the location for a plant to build the Model Y, a smaller crossover scheduled to arrive as soon as late 2019.
