Wanted: manufacturing whizzes to work on Tesla Motors' Model 3

San Francisco

TECHNOLOGY entrepreneur Elon Musk gave a public shout-out to the sharpest minds in manufacturing this week, calling on them to come help Tesla Motors Inc build a million all-electric cars a year by 2020.

Mr Musk says he is "hell-bent" on making the Silicon Valley automotive upstart a manufacturing powerhouse, but his vision relies on finding veteran auto engineers to ramp up volume 10-fold in four years - a challenge even for established carmakers.
