The i8 is a fricking lab rat compared to a Tesla S.

That plant originally had two truck and one car line.
They built extended cab trucks, dual wheel trucks and that crappy little front drive Caddy back in 1981.
During the peak they could produce >50 per hour in that plant.
Tesla just announced expansion into now a defunct Solyndra building. Seagate took over the other.
