Tesla CEO Elon Musk might be interested to buy some of the five factories that General Motors (GM) would idle in 2019, according to an interview he recently gave to CBS. At present,Tesla produces electric cars in the U.S. at its California plant that it bought from a joint venture operated by GM and Toyota Motor Corp.
GM wants to shut down five factories in North America as part of a restructuring plan. The auto manufacturer is reportedly under political pressure to limit the number of plant closures/worker layoffs.
