Faraday Future, an electric-car company in Gardena that is modeling itself after Tesla Motors, is searching for a new plant, Yahoo News reports. Four states – California, Georgia, Louisiana and Nevada – are in the running for the $1 billion manufacturing plant.

A Beijing, China company, owned by one of the richest men in China, is apparently backing the mysterious startup. Some former Tesla employees and execs now work at Faraday.

An announcement for the new home of the manufacturing plant is expected within the next few weeks.
