Tesla broke ground on a new manufacturing facility in Lathrop – which will be housed in an old J.C. Penney distribution center. Shown with Tesla officials are, on the left, City Manager Steve Salvatore and Councilman Paul Akinjo with Mayor Sonny Dhaliwal on the right.
When Tesla announced that Lathrop would be the site of a plant that manufactures parts for the company’s electric cars in Fremont back in 2014, nobody thought that it would be the beginning of a growing relationship between one of the world’s most closely-followed companies and the growing city.
