Tesla just announced expansion into now a defunct Solyndra building. Seagate took over the other.
Under NUMMI it built the Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Corolla, both high volume production cars.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
