This modal can be opened by clicking the anchor icon in the pre-header. Because the link uses an href anchor (instead of data-open-modal) you'll see #example_modal in your address bar. If you want to see the hidden modal, manually change the url in your address bar to #hidden_modal .

data-open-modal example

This modal can be opened by clicking the window icon in the pre-header. Because the link uses data-open-modal (instead of an href anchor) nothing appears in the address bar. You also can't use the back/forward buttons to close or reopen the modal. However, if you know the ID of the modal, you can still manually type the anchor link in your address bar and it will open (handy for client previews).

Visit the Tesla Factory: A Comprehensive Guide to Touring the Birthplace of Electric Cars

Tesla is one of the largest electric vehicle manufacturers in the world, with factories all over the globe. While the Fremont Factory was their first manufacturing site, they have since expanded to include Gigafactories in Nevada, Shanghai, New York, Texas, and Berlin, with more on the way.

Many people wonder if it’s possible to visit the Tesla factories, Gigafactories, or headquarters. The good news is that you can indeed visit the Tesla factory, and there are opportunities to tour some of their other facilities as well. In this article, we’ll explore how to arrange a visit to the Tesla factory and what to expect when you get there.

Tesla Factories Visit

If you’re a Tesla owner or potential owner, you might have heard that it’s possible to visit the Tesla factory. But what’s the truth? Is the Tesla factory open to the public for regular tours? Well, the answer is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no.

Tesla Owners and Potential Owners

If you’re a Tesla owner or potential owner, you’re in luck! Tesla offers factory tours for Tesla owners. You’ll get to see where your vehicle was made and experience the lively culture of the factory. You’ll also get to see the various processes that a Tesla car goes through during production.

To get a factory tour, you’ll need to go through a specific process, even if you’re a potential owner. However, if you’re enthusiastic about getting a tour, you can convince Tesla to help you out.

Tesla Employee

If you have a friend who works at the Tesla factory, you might be able to schedule a tour with the tour team. For employees of the company or the factory, it’s easier to schedule an appointment for a tour.

If you don’t have a friend who works at the factory, it might be a bit more difficult to schedule a tour. However, it’s not impossible.

Work in Tesla

Another way to visit the Tesla factory is to try and work there. Tesla offers different types of jobs in their company, not just for engineers. They’re interested in hiring dedicated and skill-driven people from any discipline.

If you’re enthusiastic about working at Tesla, you can plan on applying for a job there. By working at Tesla, you’ll get to see more than you would as a tourist on a factory tour. However, keep in mind that working at Tesla requires a lot of hard work.

In conclusion, if you’re a Tesla owner or potential owner, you have a good chance of getting a tour of the Tesla factory. If you have a friend who works at the factory, it might be easier to schedule a tour. And if you’re interested in working at Tesla, you might be able to see even more of the factory.

Tesla Headquarters Visit

While Tesla factories are open to the public, it’s a different story when it comes to the headquarters. The headquarters are not open to the public due to the highly confidential nature of the information kept there. The designs for their previous and future cars and other devices like robots are kept at the headquarters, making it a highly sensitive area.

However, it’s possible for people who work under the company to visit the headquarters. Executives of other top-notch companies can also visit if they are invited for a meeting. Additionally, if someone is there to conduct an important interview, they can go in with permission.

It’s important to note that the headquarters are not as interesting as the factory. It only includes a bunch of desks along with computers where they keep their vital information.

Here are some key takeaways regarding a visit to the Tesla headquarters:

• The headquarters are not open to regular tourists due to the confidential nature of the information kept there.
• Only people who work under the company, executives of other top-notch companies, and those with permission to conduct an important interview can visit the headquarters.
• The headquarters are not as interesting as the factory and only include desks and computers where vital information is kept.

Overall, while the headquarters are not open to the public, Tesla factories are open for tours. Visitors can learn about the manufacturing process and see the innovative technology used to create Tesla vehicles.

Gigafactories and Tesla

Tesla is a company that has been growing rapidly over the years. One of the major aspects of this growth is the construction of their Gigafactories. Gigafactories are massive production facilities that are used for the manufacturing of Tesla’s electric vehicles and energy storage products.

One of the first Gigafactories built by Tesla was Gigafactory 1, located in Nevada. While it was initially inaccessible to the public, it is now open for tours from Tuesday through Friday. The company has added several sections to make the tours more exciting and informative.

However, not all Gigafactories are currently available for tours. For instance, the Texas Gigafactory, which was opened in 2022, is only accessible for invite-only events. The company has not yet opened it for regular tours, but it is expected to be opened to the public in the future.

Similarly, the Berlin Gigafactory is not yet open for public tours. The visitor area is still under construction, and visitors will have to wait until the main building is completed before they can take public tours.

It is worth noting that in the past, access to Gigafactory tours was limited to a selected few people who were members of the investment community or owners of Tesla who referred someone else for buying a Tesla Model S or Tesla Model X. However, the company has since opened up the tours to the public, making it possible for anyone to visit and learn more about Tesla’s manufacturing process.

In summary, while some Gigafactories are open for public tours, others are not yet accessible to the public. However, Tesla is constantly expanding and improving its facilities, and it is expected that more Gigafactories will be opened to the public in the future.

Tesla Factory Tour Activities

If you are lucky enough to schedule a Tesla factory tour, you will enjoy a 60-minute tour of the factory. However, in some cases, the tour can last for 75-90 minutes, depending on the location and current tour processes.

In some Gigafactories, visitors are not allowed to walk around the factory on their own. Instead, they are offered a ride on a tram, which will take them around the factory with a tour guide. The tour guide will provide detailed information about the factory and answer any questions visitors may have.

On the other hand, some Gigafactories offer walking tours, allowing visitors to explore the factory on foot. The tour guide will accompany visitors and provide information about the factory.

Tesla factory tours are an excellent opportunity for visitors to learn about the company’s manufacturing processes and innovations. Visitors can see firsthand how Tesla produces its electric vehicles and learn about the company’s commitment to sustainability.

Tesla Factory Tour Requirements: Dos and Don’ts

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable Tesla factory tour experience, visitors must abide by certain rules and regulations. Tesla requires all visitors to provide a photo ID and sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before entering the factory. Moreover, visitors must be at least 18 years old.

Tesla suggests that visitors wear flat and close-toe shoes, long pants, and sleeved shirts or tees. Sandals, heels, or ballet flats are strictly prohibited in Tesla factories.

Visitors are not allowed to take photos or record anything inside the factory. Doing so can result in legal action and the cancellation of the tour.

It is important to note that different tour locations may have additional requirements, and visitors should follow all guidelines provided by Tesla. Bringing family, friends, or guests may be limited or not allowed, depending on the location.

Overall, following these Tesla factory tour requirements will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Visiting Tesla factories is an exciting opportunity for friends and family. However, it’s important to follow Tesla’s requirements to avoid tour cancellations or being denied entry.

Boar's Head plant had dozens of violations, dubbed 'listeria factory' by lawyer

T he Virginia plant where Boar's Head produced its tainted products had dozens of health and safety violations, prompting a lawyer to liken it to a "listeria factory." 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service published a 74-page PDF earlier this month detailing the numerous violations that were found at the Jarrett, Virginia, plant from January 2022 through Aug. 1, 2024. 

The report included that "multiple instances of meat were found around the department on the floor," and "standing water containing a brown mud/dirt like substance."

SIX MORE DEATHS LINKED TO BOAR'S HEAD LISTERIA OUTBREAK

Multiple reports found that the machines that were used to make deli meat products had not been cleaned and had "meat residue" and "meat build up" on products. 

Additionally, in January 2024, a "black mold like substance" was observed in the plant. 

READ ON THE FOX BUSINESS APP

The number and breadth of the violations prompted food safety attorney Bill Marler to call the plant a "listeria factory." 

"In the 30 years of doing food safety litigation, I have seen several hundred inspection reports.  This group of ‘non-compliance’ reports are some of the worst that I have ever seen," Marler told FOX Business in an email. 

Additionally, the lack of resolution to these issues is "likely criminal violations under the Federal Meat Inspection Act," he said. 

"What is described in the reports – piles of meat, water, mold and insects – is a perfect place for Listeria to grow," he said.  "This plant was more a Listeria factory than a factory to produced food for human consumption."

In late July 2024, Boar's Head recalled all products that had been produced at the Jarratt, Virginia, plant. Since then, nine deaths and nearly 60 hospitalizations have been linked to the tainted products. 

In an Aug. 29 statement posted on its website, Boar's Head expressed sympathies for those who have been sickened by listeria. 

BOAR'S HEAD RECALLS 7 MILLION POUNDS OF DELI MEAT AFTER BEING LINKED TO LISTERIA OUTBREAK

"We deeply regret the impact this recall has had on affected families. No words can fully express our sympathies and the sincere and deep hurt we feel for those who have suffered losses or endured illness," they said. 

Boar's Head added that they are "conducting an extensive investigation, working closely with the USDA and government regulatory agencies, as well as with the industry’s leading food safety experts, to determine how our liverwurst produced at our Jarratt, Virginia , facility was adulterated and to prevent it from happening again." 

Production at the Jarratt plant has been "paused" since late July, said Boar's Head, and will not begin again "until we are confident that it meets USDA regulatory standards and Boar’s Head’s highest quality and safety standards." 

Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria which contaminated the products, can cause listeriosis if consumed, said the website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

 "An estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis each year, and about 260 die," said the CDC.

Those at the highest risk from listeria are "pregnant women and their newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems," they said.

Listeria is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, according to the CDC.

"Infection during pregnancy results in fetal loss in about 20% of cases and newborn death in about 3% of cases," the agency said. 

Other groups "rarely become seriously ill" when exposed to listeria, noted the CDC. 

Not all foods are equally at risk of listeria contamination, said the CDC.

The riskiest foods include sliced deli meats, soft cheeses, raw dairy products, and remade deli salads, the agency said.

She was raised in a tiny gold-mining town in Taiwan. Now it's become a tourist trap — and she's fighting for the soul of the place.

• Jiufen's tourism boom is overwhelming its 1,600 residents.
• The former gold-mining town's transformation into a tourist hot spot hit the big time with the animation "Spirited Away."
• Tourism has brought business opportunities as well as challenges to the daily lives of residents.

"Sorry, but I just work here, I don't live here," said a salesperson as I made my way to a shop in a tiny mountain town in Taiwan in late June.

It's a common refrain in Jiufen, just an hour's drive from the Taiwanese capital of Taipei.

I looked intently at my Google Maps app before stepping into a small opening between two shops. It led me down a flight of stairs and snaked past several homes before hitting a narrow street.

I found my interview location quickly, mostly because Jiufen is so small that it's hard to get really lost.

It's also precisely because Jiufen is so small that the millions of tourists — primarily daytrippers — making their way through its tiny alleyways each year overwhelm the 1,600 residents living here. In 2023, the tourist zone where Jiufen is located welcomed nearly 4 million visitors.

Most would be headed for Jiufen, a historic gold-mining town known for its striking likeness to the set of Oscar-winning Japanese animation "Spirited Away."

Mickey Tseng, 36, paused and searched for her words when I asked her what she thought about the changes in the quiet mountain town where she grew up with her grandparents. She, like many others who hail from Jiufen, spent her childhood chasing after frogs, cooking sweet potatoes in the mud, and frolicking by the rivers.

"I got really angry with how this place became," Tseng told me. "I looked at the crowds and asked why they didn't think to pay attention to culture and heritage."

It's not hard to see Jiufen's allure, especially at dusk, when red lanterns cast a glow on old shopfronts and teahouses that seem to have stood still in time. Or after a shower lifts to leave a mist that stretches into the sea.

But, like tourist hot spots from Venice and Barcelona to Kyoto, Jiufen is now more about vibes than history. Reviews throw up predictable descriptions: magical, crowded, tourist trap.

The fading gold-mining town

Visitors to the town typically head to Jiufen Old Street, a narrow winding street with shops on both sides hawking anything from tea and Taiwanese snacks to generic tourist junk.

Many travelers also duck into the teahouses located in and around the street.

Residents — some of whom have lived in the area for generations — try to avoid being around Jiufen Old Street during the day, Tseng said. There's nothing they could possibly want from here.

"The shops in the old street used to cater to residents' daily needs like groceries, food, clothes, and shoes but as the number of residents dwindled, they all closed one by one," said Tseng, referring to scenes from a Jiufen whose glory days were already over when she was born.

Now, the shops in town are mostly geared toward tourists. Many residents make their way down the mountain for their grocery runs. The elderly wait for their kids to visit with their weekly hauls.

On the old street today, there is just one OG shop selling braised pork buns, said Tseng. It was closed when I was in the area, but the owners of the shop used to cater all the events around Jiufen from weddings to other celebrations, she added.

The shop now mainly caters to tourists.

Tseng's Jiufen

Born in 1988, Tseng spent her formative years in this tiny Jiufen where everyone knew everyone else.

Her mother's family has been living in the area for six generations, she said. They were farmers before gold was discovered the area, sparking a rush that her grandfather, Tseng Shui-Chih, joined around 1949 at the age of 14.

Like other gold miners of the time, he set up home in Jiufen, an area that's made up of three parallel streets and one intersecting street.

When the gold rush took hold, as many as 50,000 people lived in Jiufen at one point.

But the gold mines shut by 1971 and the town fell into decline. The town's population tanked and the young people — like Tseng's mother — left to seek work elsewhere.

Tseng was born in Taipei. She was sent to live with her grandparents a week later while her parents continued working at a garment factory in the capital. Tseng spent her elementary school and college years away from Jiufen, but was always back during her term breaks.

As Tseng grew up, she saw the town change from a sleepy town to a tourist hot spot after the Taiwanese movie "A City of Sadness" was filmed in the area. The 1989 film went on to win numerous international awards — including the Venice Film Festival's prestigious Golden Lion prize — creating a wave of new businesses, notably teahousees, in Jiufen.

In 2001, Japanese auteur Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" set off an even bigger wave of sightseeing frenzy.

Miyazaki has categorically denied that the mountain town was his inspiration for the animation's set, but it hasn't stopped travelers from coming in droves.

With visitors far outnumbering residents, social spaces for the local community have shrunk significantly. Today, residents tend to emerge from their homes only when tourists leave.

Locals like to stroll in the quiet of night, chatting with one another, said Tseng. But it's far from the Jiufen of the past.

Now shops close around 7 p.m., which Tseng said is "shocking" —because Jiufen used to be a town that never sleeps.

"What do you think miners used to do after work?" Tseng asked.

It turns out the hard workers did what all hard workers do: eat, drink, be merry, and — in this case — gamble too: "It was like Las Vegas," she said.

Since most shops on the old shopping street used to be run by residents who lived in the same spaces, they would also keep them open late into the night, Tseng said.

In the 1990s, following the hype from "A City of Sadness," teahouses in Jiufen even operated into the wee hours of the morning to serve local tourists unwinding over the weekends. Tseng knows — because she used to work in one.

Today, it can get eerily silent at night in Jiufen after the daytrippers leave — which is a different sort of charm in itself. However, it's just not the soul of Tseng's hometown.

Launching a night tour business

Tseng now hopes to revive some of the nocturnal buzz by running a night tour after daytrippers leave. It's a business as much as a salve for her own existential anxiety.

"As things I remember started disappearing, I began to doubt myself. I started to doubt if something I remember really existed in the first place," Tseng said. "I had to do something."

She charges 400 New Taiwan Dollars, or $12.30, per person for the tour and can see as many as 25 people for each tour. A minimum of five people are required to form an English tour.

The tour starts at the house she shares with her grandmother and uncle, which is also home to a gold ore museum. Founded by Grandpa Tseng, who died in 2012, the museum was what brought Tseng home in the same year.

Before returning to Jiufen, Tseng spent her first two years after college in a few unrelated jobs. She taught Chinese in London, and worked two retail jobs in Taipei.

Tseng's private museum is simple, with displays of metal ores and tools. At the entrance stands a mining cart with Grandpa Tseng's gear and tools. She charges 120 New Taiwan Dollars per visitor and requires a group of at least 10 people for the museum tour.

Tseng doesn't appear to have figured out how to scale up her operations. She markets the tours mainly via local guesthouses. She said she wasn't even receiving a salary in her first decade back in Jiufen, but is driven by a deeper calling.

During her tour, she tells stories about what the town used to be.

"If a place doesn't have memories and culture, the place will disappear. Jiufen wouldn't be Jiufen anymore," she said.

Recently, Tseng also started manning a barbershop after its longtime owner, Miyoko Yang, died at the age of 80. It's not just for heritage but to keep the only barbershop in the neighborhood in service.

Reimagining authenticity amid over-tourism

Like all tourist hot spots, Jiufen residents have a love-hate relationship with the travelers who line up its stairs and clamor into shops.

Visitors have taken over their daily spaces, but tourism has also rejuvenated the town and provided residents with commercial opportunities from running guesthouses to renting out their homes as shop spaces.

"The lives of residents have been impacted but without sightseeing, this place would not survive," said Tseng. "There were no other industries after mining, and that was why it fell into decline. Tourism gave Jiufen a second life."

Tseng is hoping to present a more genuine Jiufen to visitors and to inspire businesses in the area to imagine a future where commercial opportunities can align with the area's heritage.

It's a delicate balance.

"'Authenticity' to local residents is quite different from what tourists expect," Kevin Cheong, an adjunct lecturer at the Singapore Management University and a project consultant to the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, told me.

To local residents of the place, authenticity is about retaining traditional ways of life, forms of worship, rites, rituals, and customs. In other words, it's so that they can go about their everyday lives, so the tourist doesn't exist, explained Cheong.

"However, to tourists, 'authenticity' is like a show performance where the place is on stage delivering a 'song-and-dance' and they pay for such an experience," he said.

Tseng admitted she has considered escaping the tourist trap that is home many times. But she is not looking to leave now that she's so entwined with the local community.

Besides, she can't, the Jiufen local said half-seriously.

"I go to the temple every year over the new year to ask about my career and if it's right for me to continue staying here, if there's a future for me here," Tseng said, referring to a traditional practice of drawing a divination lot in answer to a question or request.

The Earth God that oversees Jiufen has instructed Tseng to stay put — every single year: "He is telling me, 'don't rush, be patient.'"
