Electric car startup Faraday Future has scrapped a deal with the city of Vallejo to build a vehicle plant on the north end of Mare Island.
The move comes 10 months after the City Council approved the company's plans to create a factory on a 150-acre site on the former naval shipyard.
Faraday Future, at the time, said the plant would create hundreds of jobs and pump millions of dollars into Vallejo's economy years after the city filed for bankruptcy protection.
But the outlook for the Gardena-based company, which some had believed would compete with Tesla, began to dim, something Vallejo noticed.
"For the last few months we've had some concerns about how they were moving forward towards production of their new vehicle," said Andrea Ouse, Vallejo's community and economic development director, in an interview Friday. "We're disappointed."
