BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:California's Auto Industry DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:California's Auto Industry — Still Accelerating, or Headed for a Slowdown? ACG 101. Despite Toyota’s decision to move its U.S. headquarters from Southern California to Texas, automobile-related jobs and economic activity in California remains healthy. Tesla employs more than 6,000 in the state, several global car companies maintain design studios here, a network of small and large companies produce everything from high-performance engine parts to customized vehicles, and with 1,300 new-car dealerships we have more than any other state. But given the cost of doing business in California, and its reputation as less-than-business-friendly state, is the future of the auto industry here going the way of Toyota or of Tesla.
