Video: Autoweek tours the Tesla EV factory

Our own Mark Vaughn recently took a tour of the sprawling California plant where Tesla is gearing up to build as many as 20,000 electric cars per year.

Formerly part of the General Motors/Toyota New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. joint venture, the vast space allows huge swaths of factory floor--all newly painted--between each of the machines. Employees even use strand cruiser bicycles and razor scooters to get around inside.

Take a look for yourself in the video above. And be sure to check out more test drives and video clips on the Autoweek Youtube channel.
