Coverage from the usual sources:

Tesla press release: Tesla Motors - Press Releases
Ze'ev's blog post: Tesla Motors - think


He mentions NM:

Naturally, decisions such as this leave some parties, in this case our friends in New Mexico, disappointed. We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Governor Richardson, his staff and all of the professionals in the economic development community in Albuquerque for all of their assistance and advice, which they provided us with over the past year.
TTAC: Tesla To Build Sedan in California, Not New Mexico | The Truth About Cars
Quote:
It looks like New Mexico's SOL. The Land of Enchantment tempted Tesla with a $7m incentive package (or was that $20m?) to locate the plant for their sometime-or-other upcoming electric sedan. Despite a big announcement from the then-governor's office, Tesla's changed their mind.
I have to say I'm disappointed with ABG's coverage. Three separate posts and very little information:

California Gov. Schwarzenegger to make WhiteStar announcement at Tesla today - AutoblogGreen
Tesla's WhiteStar will be called the Model S - more info soon - AutoblogGreen
Tax breaks for Tesla, Model S sedan to get 225 miles, cost $60k - AutoblogGreen
