Now that this plant has closed and will likely reopen shortly as a Tesla/Toyota plant, with a new name, do we create a new article on the new business, or simply add the material to this article, and thus have the article about the facility and its incarnations? i really dont know policy or history on articles like this. For now, until the new business actually opens, i think its fine to just add to this article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 08:19, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Apart from mentioning that it will/has passed to Tesla, this article should pretty much stop here. The buildings are old but they will no longer be owned by the NUMMI company - just the same as when they passed from GM hands to the GM/Toyota joint venture. Any new stuff should go in some Tesla article. Stepho (talk) 08:52, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles#NUMMI and Tesla Factory about the scope of this article. Stepho (talk) 06:21, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Folks, this discussion has stalled. Tesla is now well up and running and yet the article speaks of that in the future tense. I don't know enough to fix it, but making the point. Alicam (talk) 08:04, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

The discussion was at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles/Archive_25#NUMMI_and_Tesla_Factory and the outcome seems to be that there should be 3 articles, one for each era of use of the building:

The current article reflects that. It is also written in the correct tense - with the exception of the last paragraph which says the Model S "will" be made there.

Alister, feel free to modify and/or extend the end bit to reflect current usage of the plant. Don't worry if you make any mistakes - we'll be here to help and guide you. Stepho talk 03:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
