Downey Mayor Mario Guerra said that Tesla will be producing automobiles at the future plant come 2011. Tesla Motors is using the millions of dollars loaned to them from the Department of Energy well; they will also open a second facility, planned for Northern California, that will produce battery packs for Tesla as well as other vehicle manufacturers.
