A Tesla manufacturing plant in California has come under fire from local air regulators who say the electric carmaker has frequently released illegal amounts of air pollution. The Tesla manufacturing and assembly plant in Fremont has been cited for more than 110 air quality violations since 2019 — more than twice any other major facility in the Bay Area.
Environmental Protection Agency for violations involving toxic fumes emanating from leaking and improperly sealed paints, primers and automotive fluids. Tesla representatives couldn't be reached for comment. The Fremont plant was Tesla's first factory, where the first Model S rolled off the assembly line in 2012. It originally opened in 1962 as a General Motors assembly plant.
