Tesla Motors Co-founder, Chairman, CEO – Elon Musk<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After Tesla Motor and Toyota Motor Corp. announced last week that they take over the former NUMMI factory<\/a> in Fremont, California, the United Auto Workers urged the two automakers to hire union workers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While nothing was confirmed at the time of the announcement, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk recently said that “hiring former NUMMI workers is a priority” for the company. Musk, who answered the question during the taping of a Southern California public radio program, said that “It is always easier to hire from the neighborhood” than to recruit workers from out of the area.<\/p>\n

Musk said that Tesla has already hired a number of people who had previously worked at the factory when it was jointly owned by General Motors and Toyota.<\/p>\n

He said that the company anticipates 1,000 people to come back to work when it starts building the Tesla Model S <\/a>sedan in 2012. When everything is up and pumping, employment at the plant should increase to nearly 5,000 workers, who will build both Tesla and Toyota’s smaller, more affordable electric-vehicles.<\/p>\n

Toyota will purchase $50 million of Tesla\u2019s common stock issued in a private placement.<\/p>\n
