Tesla job fair overcapacity

NBC News reported that on Saturday, a job fair in Fremont, California, was cancelled by Tesla after it caused a traffic jam and reached over-capacity. The Fremont Police Department tweeted that the "overwhelming response" to Tesla's job fair resulted in a major backup on I-880. 

The success of the Fremont factory has indeed been very "overwhelming." According to Tesla Forums, the company now uses over 50% of the 5.4 million square feet for the development of the Model S and X, and other future vehicles. The factory was built in 1984 in a partnership between Toyota and General Motors. In 2009, General motors backed out of the factory, and Toyota built it's last vehicle there in 2010 due to it being unprofitable.

Tesla bought the factory and has now seen massive success where the two largest automotive brands could not.

This speaks volumes on the ability of a new American company to enter what was thought to be a saturated market. As I mentioned in my last post, it is foolish of other companies to not take them seriously, because in many ways, Tesla is already winning the race.

Do the overwhelming number of people that want to work for Tesla a good thing? Or will it make the company over-hyped an unable to meet its reputation?
